RDTrains Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I like this they don’t gut the team and improve. https://uproxx.com/dimemag/russell-westbrook-chris-paul-thunder-rockets-trade-details/ The Oklahoma City Thunder are officially rebuilding, and that means the Russell Westbrook era in OKC is at an end. In a move that once again shifts landscape of the NBA this summer, the former NBA MVP is on the move after the Thunder officially started fielding offers on the guard who has averaged a triple-double for two straight seasons. According to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Westbrook is now headed to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul and a bevy of draft picks. Westbrook’s trade comes after the Thunder abruptly sent Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers in a move that also netted the franchise Kawhi Leonard in free agency. George’s apparent discontent in OKC with Westbrook has sparked a rebuild for the Thunder, who met last week with Westbrook and his team and decided a trade would be best for both sides.

FairWarning Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 And OKC will probably flip CP3 into more draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Robbery by Houston.Seems like every major trade nowadays is initially lopsided toward the team trying to build a "Super team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Harden and Westbrook on the same team. That's 90% of their shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiavelli Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 OKC has 7 1st rounders potentially in the next 4-5 years, besides their own.A lot of protections in them, but great currency nonetheless. They're def playing the long game now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machiavelli Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Westbrook a clear upgrade over Paul. Well worth this cost. Rockets have moved to the front of the line in the West now. I get what OKC aims to do, but they will need to find a taker for CP3 within a year and a half. But they do get to bottom out and try accumulating top picks.
