I also agree IT for Westbrook is only trade that would make sense if you were dealing IT. But we all know Thunder want more than just IT and that is were the hold up is.
Well if they want IT and a Brk pick we have to tell them to f themselves
I don't mind giving them a first round pick, but not an Brooklyn one. And lord knows, we have plenty of second rounds to definitely give the OKC some edge in drafting.
It is the most valuable Celtic since KG and PP. He is responsible for a culture of high level players wanting to be here. His value is far beyond what is on the court. If his play slips then or he demands a max contract that doesn't work then we can cross that bridge later. But seriously. You want IT? Fine. Give us a top 7 player straight up with a contract extension. Then we can talk. But not till then.

IT is an Celtic, especially considering how hes so friendly, and an actual genuine guy that you can talk to. He's humble, but hes also loud spoken, and not afraid to show his passion for the game with intensity. This guy can finish inside. I think he's always been underrated, but if Westbrook wanted to sign here with approval, and we could start the team with an Russell Westbrook, Horford, Crowder, Smart, and Bradley, phew, the sky is the limit. We would have cap space, and enough assets and then some.
Westbrook is a top 10 player, and can be erratic, and shoot a lot. But he's an huge upgrade over Isaiah Thomas, and certainly a fantastic player. Players like him don't grow on trees, and I feel like Ainge, Coach Stevens, and the fans could certainly entertain the idea in a pitch to Westbrook.
