Russell Westbrook and James Harden are together again, and Chris Paul is leaving Houston to make that reunion happen.

A person with knowledge of the situation says the Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Paul in a swapping of top point guards. The Thunder also are getting first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, plus the right to swap first-rounders in two other seasons, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the trade has not been announced.

Thunder getting another boat load of first round picks too. Chris Paul is under contract for around $40 MM a year for next three seasons. Houston will be something amazing or an absolute train wreck.

Are there any pro-America NBA players currently playing?

They can’t all win the NBA title. These teams making big splashes in free-agency, I mean. I know several big NBA fans who are turned off by all this team jumping to get “max deals”.

OK City does not have any players left...just Chris Paul at 40 mil per year and a bunch of future no. 1 draft picks. By the time Chris Paul’s contract expires, the OK City team will be restocked with new young players. It remains to be seen if Seattle/OK City will be any better this time around than when they had Durant, Westbrook, and Harden and did not win it all.

Big mistake! The people they should have gotten rid of are Pesty and Donovan ( THE THUNDER BLUNDER).

I’d say train wreck. Too much ego between Westbrook and Harden.

Probably see Westbrook and Harden fouling each other on the offensive end to see who gets to shoot.

OKC wasn’t going to too far in the playoffs next year; and Houston mortgaged their future in a desperate attempt to win an NBA Championship in the next two years. Houston will be lucky to get a #4 seed next year. If they get past the first round in the playoffs, they will lose in the second.

No team with Westbrook on it will win a NBA championship. He’s far too selfish a player to ever contribute in a way that allows his team to win it all. Great individual player; lousy team player.
