Going from CP3 to Russ and losing Bzdelik are obviously big downgrades, but I wonder how much the Rockets spending the summer trying to trade everyone on their roster not named James Harden affected their defensive buy in

Lakers 1st offensive play is a Avery Bradley mid range pull-up off a screen, they're gonna lose this game by 20.

Also congrats to Frank Vogel for putting his team in a hole because he refuses to change his starting lineup that clearly doesn't work.

Like... not even close to being dubious. Westbrook is several tiers above CP3

How valuable is a player who doesn't play defense, can't shoot 3s, doesn't move off the ball at all, and isn't an efficient scorer? Bulk creation only makes up for so many flaws. 538, for example, projects CP3 to be a +5.5 player this year and Westbrook to be a +3 player. Of course, that's on a per-minute basis: durability is a huge, legitimate edge for Russ. But, like, Russ is bad at a lot of important basketball things.
