Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3497614, member: 1674"] I think the theory at the time was that they could handle Westbrook's lackluster shooting as a tradeoff for his ability to get to the rim at will. Morey also has a strong belief that you need to accumulate as many star players as possible and that you can figure out the rest later. But maybe more importantly, it was simply the best they could do in getting rid of Chris Paul's contract, which was seen as a must because of the way things blew up between him and Harden. [/QUOTE]
