If the rumors are true and he wants to be in LA (Lakers), then they have no choice but to trade him to LA. No team is going to over pay for a rental.
Man if the Thunder lost KD and Russ to free agency and didn't get anything out of it
.............Yikes![]()
LA fans are delusional.
Presti NEEDS to get on that phone with either Ainge or Kupchak and hear out their respective offers for Westbrook.
Seattle can't even come to finalize an arena plan, and just voted one down like a month or two ago.@ "move them to Seattle" somehow fixing their problems.
2032. Wait on it

You dont give up players you have pretty much locked up for 7-8 years for a one year rental of Westbrook
I'm not giving up that '17 Brooklyn pick for a one year rental of westbrook
Thats why an extension comes with the trade.
Sounds good, I'm willing to create whatever super team
Nets ruined the value of that pick anywayIt doesn't work that way
And even if it could, he'd be giving up money because he'd get paid more if he waits til the offseason
And once you hit the offseason, it's a crapshoot, not worth it
It's going to be interesting going forward, OKC will be looking for a stable of 1st round picksPresti NEEDS to get on that phone with either Ainge or Kupchak and hear out their respective offers for Westbrook.
It doesn't work that way
