I do love how silent everyone is about the Sixth Man of the Year going to the reigning champion when certain other players would’ve been crucified, but that’s how easily manipulated NBA fans are by media hype (or lack thereof).
Maybe no one is blaming him for getting the heck out of that mess known as the LA Clippers without having to sell his house?

As a Knicks fan, I think we are still one of the worst teams, I am excited about Obi though and RJ improving.

I won't mind loading up on another high draft pick this year in a good draft.

Bad for both? I think Washington wins the trade especially with the protections on the draft pick.

Bad trade for Houston given all the injuries with John Wall. At least Westbrook is a beast.

I don’t blame him at all, just pointing out some free agents are derided to hell for joining a winner while others are allowed (by public opinion) to determine their own destinies.

Bench players usually get a pass on that. Superstars do not.

Any GM trading for Harden at this point is a complete fool.

Plus Harrell is going from a pretty good team to another pretty good team. Either team could win it all. If he came from Cleveland you might look at it differently.

He wants to go to the Nets. He does not want to be in Houston. That seems to be the point of him hanging out in Vegas. If the Nets can get him they are not fools at all.
