They'll be looking for those picks but other teams' GMs have leverage since they KNOW OKC is in a tough spot. Presti will get low-balled for Westbrook, simply put. And the longer OKC holds onto Westbrook, the less they'll get back for him.
So, what do the Thunder do?

Everybody improved
They improved the least. They are still the worst team on paper in the league
The cap goes up next year, he'd be stupid to agree to an extension now. Plus if that's the case why doesn't okc try to extend him right now? They can't.
Damn! They might lose him for nothing too.
No reason for him to sign an extension if he can get more money as a free agent. OKC will try and trade him but he'll get to pick his team by agreeing to sign with them long term. And that team has no reason to give OKC fair value if Westbrook will leave anyway.
OKC so screwed
okc is....and stars take less all the time.

Secure a verbal commitment from him that he'll re-sign in the summer. Anything less than that you've gotta trade him. Plain and simple
I fukk with Russ, but OKC gotta trade him ASAP if he ain't signing

Sam Presti has to trade him
its obvious OKC should get the Clippers on the phone and ask for Blake since he played college ball there...

OKC went from being stacked to being blown up in one week
1 game away from finals and possibly ship to lotttooo-bound! Grand opening, grand closing my nikkas
This is obvious but what's more obvious is he probably won't do it for no team.
