How does trading for Westbrook make the Rockets better when he's a ballhog like Harden?

Question

1 ball, 2 ball-hogs. This is worse than when Chris Paul was there!

STEVE · Answer

Harden and Westbrook played together in Oklahoma City for three years, and they got along fine there. Don't see why they can't get along now. The Rockets looked good when CP3 was running the offense his way, but he was injured A LOT

Harden has expressed that he doesn't like having a huge usage rate

Tim · Answer

They will still win 45-50 games and make the playoffs

Steve · Answer

If they can just agree to take turns with the ballhogging, then they will be fine. This trade could help them as the season progresses so one doesnt have too much of a usage rate and they can be fresher for the end of the season and playoffs. This may work if they agree to certain parameters. The coach needs to come up with a plan and enforce it and not just let them play how they want to play. If they dont follow a structure, they will implode.
