Houston looks better on paper. Harden needs to let Russell initiate the offense for it to work

Russ too wreckless.

Harden and a healthy CP3 worked because both could (at worst) spotup and shoot off ball while the other initiates. Defenses had to stay honest.

Whereas Russ is a complete liability if he's not initiating. But can be a liability with the ball as well.

If he can't make them spotup 3s come playoff time, it ain't gon work.

Russ ain’t gonna hit catch and shoot 3s but Harden can and will. There’s no other way for it to work.

harden needs to change his game. His way doesn’t work

I’d stagger their minutes to keep harden happy and let him stat pad. Telling russ to stand in the corner isn’t an option

Wonder if Houston will start Tucker at the 3 next to Wood and Boogie or if one of those 3 will be coming off the bench

I see that the Suns picked up Galloway too.

James Jones is a mastermind GM. He's building the blueprint of a team he's probably had in his head for years. Their offense is going to be magical this season.

Let's not overreact like we haven't caught Jones doing LeBron favors, openly saying he doesn't care about the draft, not understanding the cap so they can get once desired players like D'lo, etc.

So far he's looking better, seemingly making the right moves to get this team back in the playoff race, but we don't know what his endgame is, if he has one.
