There is a really good chance that Detroit keep the pick

There is no way OKC is trading Westbrook. I don't think they'd trade him even if we included Drummond.

TANK!!!

This draft is LOADED. Here's my tanktastic franchise reset idea:

Monroe, Jennings, KCP, Singler, Jerebko for Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha (bought out and returned to OKC)


Tell Westbrook to take the rest of the season to recover.

Hit next summer with Drummond, Westbrook, Smith, '14 draft pick and max cap room.

If OKC would make that trade I'd do it in a heartbeat. That said, I highly doubt OKC would consider that trade even with Westbrook injured.

Injured or not, Westbrook is a 25 year old franchise piece. They believe in the Westbrook/Durant pairing strongly enough that they've shown they'll sacrifice pretty much anything to keep it together.

No way in the world they'd deal him for that package. I'm sure they view the injury as a temporary setback and not something that leads them to rethink their franchise direction.
