Westbrook just got booted out in the 1st rd becaus he has no help, and his contract will be up soon, so he could be ready to leave for a contender.

He is definitely way more ready than Fultz to play in playoff games..

So fultz straight up for Westbrook is the best okc can hope for

It.       Rosier
Westbrook.  Smart
Jae.       Jaylen
Trade.       Yabu
Horford.      Zicic

You use a combo from Jae, AB, Smart and picks to upgrade at PF

HIGHLY doubt OKC would give up Westbrook for anything really. Especially coming off the historic year he just had.
Also Fultz straight up for Westbrook is definitely not the best OKC can hope for. Not even close to true.

No, I don't want selfish guys on our team. Plus Fultz is a cost controled asset.

Absolutely not.  Fultz will be on a rookie contract for the next five(?) years, and you can mold & develop him as you want.  He also might already be a better 3-point shooter, which this current team needs.  Westbrook needs a super high usage rate to be effective, and I am not at all convinced that kind of usage leads to championship contention.  Westbrook reminds me of the 2nd gear in my car.. it can quickly get it from 10MPH to 60MPH, but you need to have a different gear to drive 80.

It's a no for me. He's still a little too out of control and too trigger-happy with his shot selection for my liking.

Plus, as others have said, Fultz would be inexpensive for many years.

This is honestly a no from both sides, for reasons others above me have stated. We could find much more suited players for the pick, and OKC could find better offers for Russ
