A pure PG like Paul is perfect. He's certainly a better fit than Westbrook. More willing (and better) passer, better jump shooter, and a comparable rebounder.

not what i'm saying.. of course any basketball team will be better for having chris paul on it.. but i'm not sure it's the best fit for the team or the player (chris paul)

i think having chris paul would be too much and i don't know if you would get the most out of all players involved.. hence why i say the thunder could get away with a jordan era type point guard (since i expect KD and harden to both have the ball in their hands quite a bit anyways)


if harden wasn't there, i would be more inclined to say yea go ahead.. cause that KD & chris paul combo (with ibaka) would be a thing of beauty

When has playing with an extremely willing passer stifled any player?

Westbrook averaged 20 FGAs in the postseason. If the ball is going to be in the PGs hands that much then the Thunder would be better served acquiring a more willing passer & better jump shooter at the PG spot (for floor spacing purposes) if they're concerned about getting the most out of everyone.

Paul fits the bill perfectly

 

[IATT]

^ well i blame the coach first of all.. but i agree, given westbrook's tendency to dominate the ball i would rather have paul making those decisions (westbrook's usage percentage is higher than durant's)


but my point is that i don't think the ball should be in the PG's hands that much in the thunders' offense considering the personnel.. hence my reference to those bulls teams

ah. understood.

Who wants who? An overview of all the rumors, written by yours truly.  It's pretty damn complete, and I'll be updating.

That trade makes no sense for Grizzlies.

So they going to have time split at SG between OJ, Monta, TA, and Xavier?

Yikes.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Ehhh, ++@% it.
Keep Rudy. Conley and Ellis wouldn't work. We would be loaded at SG and Wright is a terrible defender. Offensively, we wouldn't miss a beat. Defensively, we would look terrible. Two big men that are slow, a small backcourt and a SF who can't defend. Gay is the 2nd best defender on our team, most clutch player, most talented and the only player on the perimeter with an actual size advantage over other opponents. No need to mess it up regardless of what his salary will look like later.

Well, that wasn't my main concern. OJ would probably be traded anyway. You can count Xavier as a SF if you like. My main concerns was how bad we would look on defense and letting go of our only advantage on the perimeter (size wise). Obviously, Jerry West is the reason this trade has been brought up because he really likes Rudy and he was the one that traded for Battier for him. He knows that Rudy is very good and has a lot of tools that you don't find in most players.

If we trade Rudy, find a way to get an extended CP3 or Dwight Howard. Gay + Marc + fillers can bring in Dwight even though he wouldn't stay. 

 

[cyber smoke]

Nets preparing trade for Howard.

 

[scientific method]

We need Russ's scoring though, not to mention his defense and rebounding. No way I would take Rondo. Speaking of Thunder PGs, they are working on a buyout with Nate Robinson right now

 

[bhzmafia14]

If OKC traded Westbrook for Rondo/Green, it would be so easy to stop them. 

 They would have literally no major threats on offense other than Harden and Durant.

Everyone is tradeable, you could probably get a lot for Rajon Rondo but he is the heart and soul of the team,â€

[japanair21]

I wonder who's that is, it says Celtics on there.

Breaking news: We have a time table for Greg Oden. He's expected to start playing in January, thus meaning he won't be ready until June when he will tear whatever is left in his knees after getting out of bed.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

i hope to God the Kings aren't forced to sign Oden to a max contract

I really like that fit. A lot.

I do not.
