I understand that OKC doesn't want to lose yet another franchise player, but they really don't have the cap space or trade assets to build around Russell Westbrook.

OKC's best bet at this juncture is to get some solid young pieces before the best years of Westbrooks career are wasted away as an annual first round exit.

Gotta think they could land at least 2 top 5 picks and a quality starter for Westbrook...time to move on, OKC.

I made a Westbrook thread a few months ago and got roasted by a majority of people  :laugh:

It was like, would you trade both BKN Picks and some extra for Westbrook.

I'll try and find it.

Truthfully I think the lack of rumors is also because besides Boston, there aren't many teams with the assets to acquire him, and the C's already have IT.

OKC's likely trying to add him to pair with Westbrook.

I'm not shocked at all, why trade an MVP candidate if you don't have to? I thought he signed an extension last year?

I didn't mean for the C's, I just meant in general. Although I expect Westbrook to the Lakers to gain traction at some point, ecspecially if they get Paul George.
