I don't think it would matter one bit. Westbrook's career has become a tire fire. He's not moving the needle for anyone with any realistic aspirations to be good.

There isn’t any team where the fit matters and Westbrook moves the needle anymore. After his super max expires, he’ll likely get one more short deal and then be out of the league.

I really expected a boring trade deadline overall. This is crazy. I wonder if this sends some urgency among the other contenders today to make moves.

Clippers/Nuggets/Bucks have limited assets but maybe a minor trade. Memphis or Boston maybe but could have the opposite effect as well.

Gonna have to root against the Suns in the postseason.

Only a poor number of Thunder fans understands that we lost many years on keeping Russell with us. Also the lost of KD. :nod:

They really are and it’s annoying. The norm deal last year was a ridiculously good deal for them.

3 2nds, psseeee not bad but not good

Muscala fits well with the team, his 3 was good, is clear they want Poku and JRE back to play, and next year Chet.

Bazley can defend well, but on ofense is bad, he can be good on the Suns if he can be their pj tucker.

i think saric is probably toast since his knee injury but he's been playing a little better lately- i'd give him playing time and see if a miracle happens. a pre-injury saric might be a guy that could be re-signed and kept around.

I doubt it would be a move Presti would pull the trigger on but I would love to explore a trade for Bridges if Nets want to move off him at the end of the season. Dort and a couple of picks might be enough to get it done.

If I was Presti I would try very hard to get Bridges. He is a very good wing with a very good 3pt shot and this is something this team needs.

Based upon what we think Brooklyn wants, it would be tough. They would want a star like shai or an elite prospect like Chet or our draft pick this year if it ends up being really good. If they already refused 4 frps for him, it’s hard to see us getting him in a trade that doesn’t leave us feeling sick about who we lost. He’d be a great it on this team though. He’s great on any team. He’s a poor man’s Paul George, in my opinion. If his recent offensive improvement continues, he might not be that poor of a poor man’s George.
