Russel Westbrook for Chris Paul

The Houston Rockets shocked the whole league by trading for Russel Westbrook earlier this season. The trade created doubt among the fans as both Harden and Westbrook are Ball intensive players. According to the experts, the duo is unlikely to be effective and will probably reduce team chemistry and efficiency.

Chris Paul had been having a great bounce-back season right up till play suspension and led the Thunder to the 4th seed. CP3 has shown the newer NBA fans why he is one of the greatest point guards and an even better leader. He has nurtured young players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander into elite scorers with his unmatched playmaking abilities.
