Maybe it's Westbrook that leaves OKC

[InameallmyanimalsLarry]

Would you trade #3, Bradley and IT for Westbrook?
I think I would.
Cs get a top 5 player, OKC get a starting back court and #3.

[PaulP34]

Westbrook would have to be traded and I dont think anyone would trade the bank for one year of his service. He's going to LA next year

[Chris22]

God, no.

[Who]

Yes

I'm not a Westbrook fan so no

[Sketch5]

He's a beast of a player, but I don't think his BBIQ is super high and he plays like a loose cannon half the time. He averaged 5 turnovers a game against GSW, and I think he had 4 down the stretch in a close out game, can't remember if it was game 5 or 6. He's kinda like Harden. Lots of good numbers, but can he lead a team, put them on his back? I'm not too sure.

Plus I bet he's heading to LA.

OKC is in a win-now mode.

So, yes. They should explore ways to replace him. The original poster's offer appears fair. Question is, "are they amenable with having IT and draft a PG in Dunn or Murray to take over RW's role? Frankly, I believe it is a very good proposition.

OKC is a complete team. They could make another title run but not with RW. Originally, I thought of them making a trade for Rose but I just read this new trade proposal for us to make and it seems really ok.

[hpantazo]

No way. Not only would he hurt our team, Stevens would quickly go back to coaching NCAA ball.

[esel1000]

Yeah easily... and I'm a huge IT fan

[passesofftodj]

Please no, draft Dunn if you want to go that route.  Huge assets for a one year rental when there is a 2.5% chance of winning a title?  Pass...

[jambr380]

In terms of pure value, it is probably fair, but only if Russell would extend before the trade. Westbrook is on another tier compared to IT, who I rate highly with the likes of Irving and Lillard, but none are of Westbrook's caliber. He is a top 5 NBA player and you obviously need to pay a premium for that.

In this scenario, we retain Crowder, Smart, and likely Turner. However, because he is an expiring, there is just no way you can sink that much into a possible one-year run - especially with the uncertainty in our front court.

You aren't going to win championship with that kind of defebsive effort, he is Harden PG version

[Vox_Populi]

Immediately.
