Can we put together an offer to get Westbrook?

[tonegully]

Title? 

Is there anyway possible to get in on a trade for Westbrook and get him to ATL

[Guest]

He's a free agent next year..

Unless  he is willing to extend his contract  why bring him in and go through what we just did with Al?  

[tonegully]

i mean if we can get an extention. maybe a 2 year deal.

[Pacman21]

Of course we could but it's not gonna be nearly as good as other teams

Agreed, a team like LAL, most likely his preferred destination  have young players for OKC to start their rebuild,

Westbrook will somehow find his way to Warriors after the 16/17 season.

Can we move this thread out of Homecourt?  This isn't even a current free agent.  

Every team in the league is thinking of how to acquire players like this.

Right! It's too much of a gamble. He has no ties to ATL which makes it even more risky.

He's better off testing FA. He'd be one of the stars in the 2017 FA class.

dang..well at least GSW not in the East.

Yeah Jim Buss' job is on the line this season.

He seems desperate enough to do a Ingram, Russell and future 1st for Westbrook.

Thunder

Russell/Robertson/Ingram/Illyasova/Adams

Lakers

Westbrook/Clarkson/Deng/Randle/Mozgov

[Guard]

Can't see Russell wanting to resign so there wouldn't be a point. Plus we don't have the assets ( drafts picks and desirable young players)  to get a deal done.

Since OKC is in  sell mode....it there any other players they may be looking to move we night have interest in?

[Jwohlgem3]

Take the risk we aren't going to win a championship like this send Schröder tarean and 2018 1st and take a shot

Then what? He leaves  and we just gave away our young talent and picks? How do we rebuild?

[Jwohlgem3]

And what if we win and he stays and we don't have to rebuild and know we have a top 5 player

Oh hell no.. And watch him walk after this year cause that is exactly what will happen. Plus Russell Westglass is not a point , he is a attack first guard.. Not sure he fits in the first place

Win what? Westbrook , Sap and D12 looks good on paper but does it work well together? Look he is a helluva a talent but the dude will have zero interest in staying here just like everyone else. We could not even keep bionic titty Whoreford , who is half the player.

[Jwohlgem3]

I'd rather a year of him then having no chance at a championship ever and good coaches create systems for talent
