Both were teammates and lived good years in that young and spectacular trio that they formed with Kevin Durant in the Oklahoma City Thunder that managed to reach the NBA Finals, of that Big Three, only KD knows what it means to be NBA champion . Westbrook and Harden met again in Houston, today they are again on different teams, although they share the feeling of not being able to win a championship.
Westbrook in uncertainty
Russell is not living the experience he expected in Los Angeles, he has not been able to find his place, his level is not what he was in other years and now he has even been benched. Westbrook is pointed out as one of the culprits of the Lakers’ misstep and that is why his name sounds among the candidates to leave the team. The latest rumor is that the Rockets would be willing to send John Wall to Los Angeles in exchange for Westbrook and a first draft pick. So it may sound very strange, but Wall and Westbrook could once again be protagonists of a change, let’s not forget that precisely Houston sent Westbrook to Washington in exchange for Wall, who has not even played with the Rockets.

Harden bound for Philly?
James Harden arrived in Brooklyn to form a powerful Big Three, but for various reasons he has not walked either. Apparently La Barba is not very convinced of the project and for that reason he decided not to sign a contract extension with the Nets. Perhaps thinking that next summer he could have a new destination that would be Philadelphia, where his former boss in Houston, Daryl Morey will do the impossible to seek a change with Brooklyn by sending the disgruntled Ben Simmons.
We are facing two of the most talented players in recent years, two guys who individually have achieved many things, but they lack something to consecrate themselves, time is short and it is increasingly difficult to reach the Finals, we will see which of the two can fulfill the dream of lifting the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
