thats a great deal for clippers

an absolute shyt deal for houston
That's a great deal for the rockets if they could keep covington or the pick. People need to pump the breaks on the PG hate. Yea he was trash in the bubble but you gotta bank on him returning to previous form where he was dominating in okc as the best player on the team. He would be a good compliment to harden given his skillset and ability to play off-ball. Clippers lose this trade.

But they are trying to trade Covington AND the pick, so it’s bad for the Clippers

This would be a good deal for Houston and a terrible deal for the Clippers

The problem is both teams will still suck and play like the 2019-2020 versions of themselves. :manny:

But if Houston wants to continue this fukkery of trying to build around Harden and flip flopping All-star players every season by all means go ahead. I'll still be watching and saying, "I told you so" come December 22nd when we're still trash because we haven't moved the real problem in this whole situation: Harden.

I would take my chances with Westbrook than Paul George. PG has gotten bad, at least Westbrook cam still drive to the basket and Covington will cover for PG's defense. It is not a bad trade.

PG'S problems are all mental though. The skillset is still there. Passing, shooting and willing to defer. i don't know how Westbrook and Kahwi will get along

I don’t hate Russ but he’s the worst star in the league and If he couldn’t play with KD or Harden how can he play with Kawhi?

If I'ma have a star that doesn't show up in the playoffs, I'll take the taller one that can at least defend and shoot when the heat isn't on. Russ is just another loud mouth ass "dog" that ain't gonna do shyt when shyt gets thick. Clips got enough of those. That said, I'm not sure how PG fetches another starter and a 1st rounder on top of Russ. Maybe one but certainly not both.
