Man get a clue before telling people to be realistic with their trade scenarios. My god. Westbrook is Paul George Part 2 next season. He has a PLAYER option for 2018-19, and can opt out after next season. Your logic, and trust me I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt even calling it that, only makes sense if Westbrook were on a Kyrie type deal, locked up over several seasons and trading him for a pick would piss off the fan base. Westbrook holds all the leverage here. If he tells the Thunder he's opting out and it's a certainty, are you suggesting the Thunder call his bluff and get NOTHING in return for him? That would really pump up the fan base. In fact, I'm calling it right now... if Russell Westbrook wants to be a Cav and help take down Durant and the Warriors, he can make it happen. All he does is demand a trade to Cleveland. Not sure of his no trade clause rights but even if the Thunder could trade him anywhere they wanted like the Pacers did George, whose presenting a better deal than the Brooklyn lotto pick? NOBODY. THE Pacers received GARBAGE for Paul George and still did so because it's STILL better than nothing. You are asking for people to be realistic yet you are suggesting the Thunder let Westbrook leave for zilch. Ya you are a genius.
