So the Rockets went into the offseason desperately needing shooting and might end up with Marcus Smart and Russell Westbrook.

Lookaway Thunder fans

KD Files gonna look like a joke if this happens

KD and Westbrook retiring with Houston while Harden is on the Cavs would be the weirdest timeline

KD can’t win with that cat

Lmao this would be hilarious

The idea of Westbrook isn’t even better than actual Westbrook

They really saw how they played this past postseason, when they’re offense was constantly stagnant and doubling KD, and thought, we need Westbrook?

spacing of doom and despair

7th seed here they come.

Go get Harden too. FVV might be a hair better defender but Harden 5-10x the offensive player. Westbrook is just a competitor. Any HOF guard is welcomed when our weakest position is guard play. FVV probably won’t even play back to backs

Harden / Westbrook / Smart

Amen / Reed / Bodgan

KD / Tari / Amen

Jabari / Tari / Amen

Sengun / Adams / Capella

That would be a solid team compared to what we have now. Amen can start at SG and play more forward as subs happen

Eff it. Go get Harden and make your own documentary. “Thunder in Houston.” It’s still crazy all three won MVP and all three played for 2 different franchises, almost a third with the Nets.

As if they don’t have enough drama between their players.

15 random white kids have just been added to a twitter group chat by NotSlimReaper53, they are unsure why at the moment.

They need shooting, not Russ

The triple double cocaine bear?

Need shooting and they’re bringing in Russ for obvious nostalgia bait💀

If they start slow, KD is requesting a trade by January.

Let’s add less shootings, that’s gonna fix the problem

Lowkey Westbrook keeps getting jobs from referrals from his old buddies.

emerged as urged to sign him

Lol this is AI slop aggregation of a piece Santos wrote saying they should sign him. I can’t imagine the Rockets sign him, there’s no playing time for a player with his skill set.

Trade with Cavs so they can get Harden.

This trio would be lethal in their primes.

KD’s burners bout to be crazy

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The only way I can accept this is if we bring James back. If we’re going for vibes, go all in.

KD is going to love this!!

As a Rockets fan, my expectations are so shitter level at this point that I kinda dig this. And I really dont like Russ. Actively.

imagine taking russ off that team, see how bad they were. Kd can’t win
a championship with those cats

Rockets: lose in the first round to the Lakers’ JV squad because they don’t have enough shooting

Also Rockets: Let’s go get Westbrook!

No way

The return of “triple double cocaine bear.”

Please happen

They should also bring back Harden

Fuck it get harden too

Tf is this article?? “Houston Rockets MIGHT sign Westbrook, but here are 15 reasons why this move would suck”

something something GTA 6

Russ begging for a job. I’d rather we sign Victor Oladipo

omg…so hilarious

I can’t wait to have a hesrt attack every time Russ is on a breakaway for a potential game winning layup

We are trading for KD at the deadline aren’t we

Boring. He has already been on the Rockets. But at least keeps his career going so he can continue his tour.

What a horrific idea

Please god no

Literally the article shows why the rockets aren’t signing him. Why the hell would the rockets waste a spot for Russ? Our rotation is set lmao

Greeeaat

Would be full circle for the young Thunder core to have their 3 stars all separately play with each other after leaving the Thunder, but never all 3 on same team simultaneously after leaving the Thunder.

Death, taxes, and Westbrook Durant and Harden finding ways to play with each other

Oh well that’s some great news—

JR: Wait, bah gawd, what’s this!? It’s the Anonymous NBA coach with a steel chair!!

They saw how fucked they were without a legit PG and said “never again”. FVV, Smart, and potentially Westbrook.

I don’t understand all the hate he gets. He goes hard every game, seems to be a good teammate, and isn’t scared (prolly his biggest fault)

If he’s giving you 20 min a night off the bench, you could do so much worse.

I’d love to see it with KD. Finish what they started (they won’t).

This is too funny. Sign harden too

I’m tired boss.

KD gonna be tweeting about this all season long huh?

Switching to blazers flair soon

Hahahahaha. Yes, please.

Amazed they didn’t go for him last season when FVV went down and Brick was begging any team for a contract.

Like their entire PG rotation was Sheppard and maybe a couple minutes of Holiday. And then pretending Thompson can dribble under pressure.

And now they go for him when they actually have more PG players but need more shooting.

This is a fabricated rumor that has no smoke. You saw the rockets need for a pure point last year and see a former player that fits the bill and all of a certain the Rockets are serious contenders for his services. I’m not knocking the fit, I just think rumors are passed off as actual reports way to often sports and in the NBA in particular.

How many bricks can a amen, westbrook, marcus smart lineup produce? Over under 25% 3pt shooting collectively?

but one team has emerged as heavily urged to sign him. The team is the Houston Rockets, where he spent one season.

Heavily urged…by who? Is Fertitta a big Westbrook fan or something?

Reunion with Steven Adams too. I’m all for it but it’s easy saying that when it’s not your team.

I’m sorry Houston fans.

dumb ass team lol

I am done with Thunder alumni not named James Harden, please no.

Call me crazy but I’d love to see him on the Nets.

2027 champs!

Honestly it wouldn’t be that insane of a decision there is a decent chance Vanfleet is just washed next year, which only leaves their PG options as Sheppard and Smart.

I guess Houston wants to ensure KD asks for a trade by midseason.

Russ has been my favorite player for most of his NBA career.

I just don’t know why any team that sees itself as a real contender would do this. He’s gotten a bunch of chances at this point and the absolute best you can seem to hope for is that guys seem to love him, but he doesn’t help the team in any way.

Speaking for all Rockets fans when I say we do not want this. Wtf is Stone doing 😭

God, this would be amazing.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha

There is no chance this happens. Good Read though. We heard the very same story last summer. For a month we heard stories like this. Its merely Clickbait.

Westbrook is a negative in the floor spacing department but he’d really help in the playmaking and energy department. The Rockets young core would benefit from somebody who’s pushing them every day to be their absolute best. With FVV coming off injury too, nobody is really sure what he’s going to look like.

God, please no

Bricks on demand. 1 for two, 2 for three

Might as well swing for Harden.

I will end up doing it if this happens. I will make the news 😭😔

How this dude could average a triple double a season not too long ago and still not have a contract has always been beyond me, especially because he seems to care to want to play, he just gets such a bum rap

No

I love Russ but he doesn’t help us at all anymore

They need a point guard

Oh boy. What is it with the big 3 from OKC in 2011? They all just keep going back to each other even if they don’t get along.

If he’s willing to accept a bench role, I think this could work. Given questions around Fred VanVleet’s health, it’d be a good idea to have a couple of guys to share the load. 

FFS. Why the hell do we keep talking about washed up PGs like Harden and Westbrook…

Strong move for both. Love him in the locker room and on the floor.

Hey, how about no? Jesus I want Fertita launched on a rocket into the sun.

Ime Udoka must really hate Reed Sheppard
