Why did Morey include 4 first round picks?
Hindsight is 20/20 I guess but CP3 looked hobbled all through the playoffs that year. He looked a step slow and battled a bunch of injuries. At 35, it was reasonable for Morey to assume the days of CP3 being elite were done.
Meanwhile Westbrook was just coming off a season averaging another triple double, and actually made the playoffs being option 1B.
Now Morey looks dumb for throwing all those picks in but factoring in the fact OKC also had to eat CP3's contract, it starts to make a little sense.
