Trade Proposal - OKC

Rondo, Jeff Green to OKC

Westbrook, Jeremy Lamb, Mitch McGary

Rondo should fit better with OKC.  They get a big 3 in Jeff Green who Durant likes.

Westbrook would be  a great addition and is a better scorer than Rondo would fit well with Smart, Bradley and Young. He would be the goto guy.  I think McGary is going to be the steal of the draft.

So unfortunately I don't think OKC would go for it but I would try to add a third team or throw in a protected pick to get it done.

As a former oklahoman,
I can tell you that westbrook won't be leaving okc on a trade unless he requests it. For some reasons, that city/front-office loves him (though i am def not a fan)

Ibaka is a PF and Durant a SF, I doubt they would want Green unless for the bench.  He certainly would not be part of a big three.  I suppose he could play C, meaning Ibaka, but he would not like it.

OKC says no because they lose this trade.

OKC says no.
And please enough with the Rondo for Westbrook trade proposals.
OKC will never trade Westbrook for Rondo!

They have Rondo on their bench with Reggie Jackson and he's young and a lot cheaper.

They traded Green because he was too small to cover power forwards, and not quick enough to cover 3's.  That hasn't changed.  They were willing to give him up for Perkins!!

Can't tell if you think Reggie Jackson is a lot better than he really is or you really don't like Rondo haha.

I think the Thunder should be chasing Monroe. 

Adams, Jackson and Perkins (plus money to help buy out Perkins) in a sign and trade.

Monroe is overrated. He can score, but his defense is horrible. In a year Adams will be a better player than Monroe. He has legit center size and he's beast on the defensive end.

His defense is fine at C and would be a great fit with their PF.  It gives them a great inside threat to create even more room for their perimeter stars.

I actually like Rondo a lot, but I think in a league loaded with PG talent what separates the Superstar, star, and good player isn't what it used to be.  Williams puts up solid numbers when on the court and while no one in the league passes like Rondo..Williams is a better shooter. 

I was kind of wondering why people think OKC would move a player that could be in the top ten of players in the league...Westbrook is a threat for 40 any given night in the playoffs.

Can't see them moving Adams unless it's for an all star caliber player. They're devoted to developing Adams and I don't think okc wants to pay monroe what he's gonna get paid. Not sure minute ever reaches all star status.

His defense is not fine at all. He's a revolting door around the basket.
BTW OKC is totally fine. If something needs to change for them that's the coach.
