Is it dirty that Lakers were tampering with PG13 originally and AD later on, yep. I get what you're saying, but maybe OKC had decided they were going to break it up with all the other moves going on. PG left yeah, but OKC prob got one of the greatest trade hauls in history, I'm sure they're not bothered and now they rebuild.I guess I'm annoyed that everyone says Lakers are dirty with how they did the Pelicans but nobody's saying the same for the Clippers. And yeah, I'm particularly annoyed about Kawhi holding us to ransom. Quickly gone from a player I loved on the Raptors to a player I hope fails. I guess that's the emotion of sport.

If you guys win the title this year it would feel a hell of a lot better being on even grounds.

Wish we had reddick lopez etc..Lets be honest the pg13 okc thing was far worse. He just signed a deal and had a party last year and is in a good organisation. AD has wasted away in NO and should have left years ago.Its all down to lebron and la hate

Lebron has been known to bring in his friends, not that I think that is a bad thing, I think you need guys who Lebron is comfortable with, but how much better would it be if he had players that fit next to him, doubt that ever happens even if Kawhi was off the table.

Now that I've picked myself off the floor...as crazy as it looks on paper, Rockets probably needed to do something to go one more step forward and Westbrook is an upgrade on CP3 without changing anything else. Wonder if Russ can defer to Harden when the games on the line? 2 of the highest usage players of all time next to each other, wow.So many ways this can go. Westbrook prob could have gone to the East and been a God, but this prob does bring him closer than any east team to winning the championship? Harden and Westbrook are prob more durable than AD, Boogie, Kawhi and PG13 so the West may just come down to who stays healthy!

I don't mind the move seeing as he and Harden have played together already, but yeah I expected Rus to end up in the East so it's certainly a surprise Rumour says OKC plans on keeping CP3 which I can't understand, especially with his contract. Surely not flower I can't wait for this season to start!
