That's what I think about Westbrook. The team management may have made a bad idea of bringing Westbrook to Houston though. Eventhough he is a good player in his position but Houston has James Harden who we know lead the team and I don't think Westbrook will follow the lead of Harden.
It may not be a good idea but if i am in the Rocket's front office i would do the same, give this a chance as nothing had worked before this. Paul is a very good point guard but they struggle to make the finals so with this tandem, maybe some miracle will work wonder for them. Well, Harden's doing the hogging so, the seconds of them trying to score, Harden is dribbling the ball taking it for himself. That is the reason why I Westbrook and Harden should team up, a hogger and a record-"breaker". That would be a good argument every game. LOL. For sure! The Rockets appear to be wasting money on Westbrook. I guess they don't need a Westbrook in their team. Harden is more than enough man to lead. But here comes another leader. We might be seeing the first ever jump ball between teammates. LOL! Harden will choked in the playoffs, he cannot carry his team alone, he need another superstar playing with him and he got it now. Let us not conclude early because we don't know what this team would become with westbrook on board, they have the talent so it's not impossible for them to beat good teams in the NBA. I think because most people believe that Westbrook would not help improve the Rockets, we will all be wrong when the regular season officially starts, I hope so.

We might be seeing the first ever jump ball between teammates. LOL! I'm thinking the same thing . Westbrook is a PG and Harden is an SG and can play as a PG as well, so what gonna happen if they're both inside? There would be an imbalance for sure not mentioning that these players are starving for an MVP spot so expect that probably one of them get more selfish inside the court which may ruin their harmony as a team. SourceI really hope this won't happen lol .

Its like people are completely forgetting that Harden, Westbrook, and Durant played together in OKC. Harden can play just fine off the ball and they may be more suited towards that playstyle. No matter what they still can't compete with Lakers and Warriors though.

It's something I would not agree with, the warriors is not gonna be the same without Durant and the Lakers still hasn't prove anything yet, I don't underestimate the Rockets capability here, let's just see what will happen when season opens.

Yeah that is one point to consider. But let us also face the truth. Both have been a superstar in their own team and both are also ball hog. With plays of Mike D'Antoni who will really make the plays? One more point to consider into why these two doesnt match into one team. They both dont have the ability to move without the ball. Unlike Curry and Thompson, those two dont really want to be dribbling to much. I guess we will really have to see it before we can judge. The first 10 games will tell if there is a conflict.

There are a lot of talks about how Harden and Westbrook would work. I'm trying to figure is out as well and running some simulations in my head Harden will probably do most of the dribbling and outside shooting while Westbrook will be cutting the lane and dunking more often.

I think that they will make some adjustments on their individual game for the good of the team as they are not kids anymore. If they want to win a championship ring they must make some sacrifices and i know that they can surprise everybody around the association.

For me, they are not will be a good tandem but still, who knows? Or maybe Russell Westbrook will be the reason why James Harden will leave the Houston Rockets? I really want to see how their tandem will work second after the Lebron James/Anthony Davis tandem. A lot of teams now are having some Dou-Superstars. This will be a good season for NBA again. Let's wait for it I'm super excited for the future games with these new line-ups.

We will see on how they will go along with each other and as long as no one will allow his ego to turn massive inside the court, they should be fine. Harden will probably do most of the dribbling and outside shooting while Westbrook will be cutting the lane and dunking more often.
Yeah Harden works better with his outside the ring shots while Westbrook is strong under the ring.

In order for them to be effective together, Westbrook should be the one bringing the ball and Harden will just wait for the pass when the defense commits on Westbrook. He is so athletic so for sure he will be guarded properly and gives the outside shooters more opportunity which would make them a very dangerous team, that if they will really play based on the design play.

Will have to expect more plays by new coming rookies have to see. But aren't sure how this Russell and Harden become effective or have no change just like it happen to OKC before when the this to players started.

That still depends on the coach of their opponent by those times. They are more aware of this kind of situation so defense should be reliable and balance for both players. Westbrook inside ring while outside for Harden, every team that they will match should clearly look at both places.

This would be an amazing attaching combination. My question is: Who is going to play defense? They will be having plenty attaching opportunities but not at all defensive ones.

I'm trying to figure is out as well and running some simulations in my head I saw some highlights when they were both playing for the Thunders. They link up pretty well. I think we will see a lot of alley-oop between the two. My question is: Who is going to play defense? They will be having plenty attaching opportunities but not at all defensive ones.
Rockets will have four players defending. Westbrook is pretty decent with defense while Harden will be there to receive the ball and dribble to their side of the court.

Both of them doesn't have a good defence, specially Harden. They are under D'Antoni's system, and we all know that they don't 'priority' defence. The play is to run, which I think Russell can easily adopt. But then again, we still need to see how they are going to blend.

Defending is another’s players work ofcourse because Westbrook and Harden will do the scoring(though some defense also if in their front I guess) The team has 5 players and they are only the two mentioned so don’t bother about the def because there will be someone assigned for that

Everyone seems to think that Lakers will be heavy favorites this season and even if you look at the sportsbooks you see that the second best odds behind clippers is Lakers. Do you guys really think that they would be that good? I mean I know they have Lebron and AD but they had Lebron last year too and didn't even make it to playoffs, so now we put AD on top of it so of course they will become better but second best team in the league type of good? Does getting AD make a team "not playoff worthy" to "second best team" all of a sudden?
AD played on Pelicans as well and they were not that good, so 2 players who are definitely good but couldn't make their teams that good getting together makes them second best team? I feel like they would be more like 4th best team on western conference let alone the whole league.

Most of the sportsbook do that and AFAIK last year Lebron came in to Lakers and the season has already started so it means that he didn't started with the team from the beginning. It's a big name that has been added to the roster so expect that there will be the same treatment just like what happened last year.

Both are used to be a ball-hog for several seasons. Let's extend the chemistry process to 30 games lol. 10-15 games are trial. More than 20 games, they will now work for the solution to the problems they will encounter on the trial period. If after 30 games, still, nothing good happens, then the trade failed. I'm expecting for a changed but not within the few early games. #sarcasm

They are lack of supporting cast, AD@NOP and LBJ@LAL. With the revamp of Lakers rosters, I do expect for a changed. And just because they are favorites this season, it does mean they are the best team. Odds are not the basis.

Last year was different and Lebron had that bad injury in his groin. Last year also told us what the new Lebron will look like. He keeps on passing the ball and just making plays. More like a Magic Johnson style. Now, he had found is Kareem. That is what makes it one of the crowd favorite. But there is more. The simple reason that it is LA. Take them to the Knicks and it will be the same.
