If OKC is going to blow it up.  I'd rather have Adams than Westbrook.

2018 Brooklyn pick straight up.

We'd have an animal at center for the next decade +

They have literally no reason to trade Adams.

If they trade Westbrook they will be in rebuild mode.  One year left on that contract and he is going to get paid.  Not sure they want lug around that 20+ million dollar contract for the next 5 years while they are trying to get good again.

They are going to want to stockpile picks.  I'd even throw in the Clippers or Memphis pick too.

well, he averaged 8 pts and 7 rebounds last season in 20 something minutes. good, not great. plus, he plays under the basket on offense. period.

not a space and pace type of guy who would be able to play lots of minutes in CBS system. nice to have him, but the nets pick might be a top 5 pick. hard to give that up for adams.

He caused havoc on small ball teams like GS.  He can really move for his size.

I think he would complement Horford nicely.

Why wouldn't they want to rebuild with a young big?

They're not trading a young promising big they just took.

On Adams I think he has potential but really overrated by some after the playoffs.  Bill Simmons said he was the best C in the NBA.

He's just about the least likely player to be traded in the NBA.

So it comes up on Celtic Blog so we can discuss nothing. He is a beast and will be with OKC until he is unrestricted.

He said he was the best C left in the playoffs and I agree with that
