Looks like a fire sale coming to OKC, Lakers need a PG - could he be the one ?

Don't see how it would happen, he's making like 40m, and how are we gonna give them what they want to get him and at the same time satisfy the salary requirements?

No - let him lay in the cesspool that he created in OKC. He went all in on recruiting PG and now he has a gigantic stab wound in the back. Good for him.

You hate Lebron but you want a 40m aging Westbrook who shoots 1-13 on threes. You have got to be kidding me...

Not a chance. I think the only team that could get him are the Rockets if they trade CP3 and picks

It does make sense for the Knicks. Don't know what assets they have, though

OKC pulled the trigger at the right time.

They risked going into this season struggling and fighting for a playoff spot only to have Paul George or Westbrook get upset and publicly demand a trade.

They got maximum assets for a star player because they traded him at the right time.

They won't get the same return for Westbrook but they will be stocked and ready to build for the future.

I wish we could package KCP in a deal but we have NOTHING more to offer.

With Golden States falling apart and Houston stucks with a declining Chris Paul, the West is now wide open. With healthy PG13 and Westbrook, I think they have the chance to go into the Western conference Finals. However, their owner wanted to save money again. Realistically, even if they find a buyer for Adams, they are not going to be a contender. So instead, they traded away probably their best player and get lots of asset in return while also save money. I think this was a clever move by their GM. I'm just curious how long would Presti get fed up
