This is one trade I would not mind doing. Unfortunately, I don't think Sam Presti would allow this to happen.

Only if Presti's running another of his "Discount Days" deals, as with Ray Allen and Jeff Green.

Westbrook is Durant's best friend, and gives the Thunder a much needed "edge" and energy.  I don't think there's any chance he gets traded.

Yep.  No chance.  I mean look at how bad offensively OKC was after Westbrook went down.  They need his offense, something Rondo wouldn't provide them.

 I didn't realize they are best friends.

I think you guys are misunderstanding. The OP is referring to Elvis WETSBROOK, who is currently leading the Chinese "C" league in rebounds. He is 5'11", so there's some debate about how his skills would translate to the NBA, but he apparently has absolutely freakish wingspan and upside jumpability at that size.

I would do that deal in a heartbeat.

Woah, a Rondo trade idea that doesn't involve him being depreciated by about 1000%!

I don't think OKC would do this trade simply because they constructed their team so that they need both Westbrook and Durant. They're not the traditional team where they benefit from having a traditional PG like Rondo.

Westbrook is not having great relationship with the coach. Can be a chance, I would say 50%

But they traded Green, after that they send out Harden.

The point that is being missed is they were in a salary bind with Harden.  They believed that they couldn't afford to sign him to a big contract.  They didn't just willy nilly trade him.  They didn't want to get rid of harden.  They had 3 great young players, and they could only afford to keep 2 - KD and RW. 

I seriously doubt they are trading RW, and especially not for a pass-first pg like Rondo.  They need RW's scoring badly.
