what does okc owe westbrook?
Jack and ****. Just trade him to whomever. We've already 'done right' by him etc. by giving him that contract.
The organization has always tried to be player friendly. Especially with a guy like Westbrook they will attempt to do whatever is best for him.

Ibaka could actually end up being the worst player involved here not counting picks.

They have tried that and ya know, I'm still waiting for the payoff. At this point I have to wonder if we've been accommodating to a fault.

And then there's the Reggie Jackson one...

i think if the clippers came to sam with this offer without paul george having requested the trade, it would have been done. he didn't want to rebuild (yet), but you can't refuse this package seeing where the team is and their tax situation and no routes to get much better.

The payoff has been hundreds of wins, two Superstars re-signing, and a boatload of draft picks.

westbrook can't take personal accountability for his failures so i'm sure he thinks that getting embarrassed in consecutive playoff series is somehow the team's fault.

The one that goes Reggie Jackson -> Kanter -> Melo -> Reggie Jackson?

I can't believe they got this much for him. More than AD! That's amazing. I just hope they actually rebuild and don't try to run this team out. Hold onto Gallo till the deadline (hope he stays healthy) and wait on Steve till he's an expiring.
I don't know what a Russ trade would look like. Miami seems like a no bc we have their picks. Maybe Orlando for Fultz Mozgov Isaac and a pick or two? Something to the knicks (in December once they can trade all these free agents). Charlotte maybe?

If the reporting is to be believed Leonard (who is not an orthopedic surgeon FWTW) engineered this whole thing and basically had Steve Balmer over a barrel.
I'll root for PG personally, but obviously if those shoulders are never quite right again, it's to our benefit with all these picks. Just sayin'

Yeah. Quite easy to end up with a bunch of Perry Joneses on the roster.

Two separate trades. Jackson was Augustin+Singler, Perk+Pick was Kanter.
