The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, pick swaps in 2021 and 2025, league sources tell ESPN.

What do you guys think about this trade?

Seems like a weird spot. Should be interesting to see how him and Harden work together. I wouldn't think they would do well together but they did used to play together.

I never thought the rockets would be able to get rid of that ridiculous Chris Paul contract honestly. Hopefully Russ and Harden can work together since they're both so ball dominant and like their stats.

The only person this trade sucks for is Chris Paul. Wonder if he's actually gonna stay in OKC I've heard that Washington might make a move for him. This off season has been one of the craziest I remember.

Two ball hogs on the same team lets see how this turns out these guys had the 1st and 2nd most usage rate in the league last year

I live in Houston and I'm a Rockets fan so I'm very excited about this. Idk whether it will work or not but regardless, you can't deny the talent that will be on display for Rockets fans to watch. I'm not saying it will work, but I do think the usage rate stats for both players is a bit overblown. I think they just did what they had to for their teams to be successful. Also, you can't call them ballhogs because they are always at or near the top of the league in assists.

I don't think they are going to work. Yes they did work together in OKC but they developed into ball dominant players. You can't rely on Westbrook to shoot.
