OKC-LAC draft day rumor?

I'll be posting this in the LAC forum as well.

I've been searching all over the net for the OKC-LAC draft day trade proposal, but i can't find anything.
I just heard it from one of my basketball buddies, he's a contributing editor to a local basketball magazine, i forgot to ask the link, i must've been too drunk to understand it all completely. But here's some bits about it:

LAC trades:
2009 #1 pick - Blake Griffin
Future 2nd rd pick/s
Marcus Camby / Chris Kaman

OKC trades:
2009#3 pick - Hasheem Thabeet/James Harden/Ricky Rubio
2009#25 pick - potentially Sam Young
Russell Westbrook
Nick Collison

At first i thought it's silly but it works on the trade checker.
Anyone heard or seen this before? Got a link?
I didn't really understood his reasoning but it has something to do with OKC's strategy to strengthen their financial stability.

it's extremely unlikely westbrook is traded.. i can see jeff green in this package and then maybe but not westbrook.

We wouldnt have a backcourt if that happened. That trade seems like it would screw us over a bit.

One of the other Clippers fans posted this, and I don't know if you guys have seen this idea before, but would you guys do this:

Kaman for Watson/Wilkins/#25/2010 First from PHX via OKC

that is a tough one. basically it's the pho 1st for kaman since those other assets aren't really worth much to okc.

i'd probably do it if kaman weren't so injury prone and wasn't on such a long contract. he also seems kind of flakey to me. on the other hand, if he could play 70+ games and come even close to re-producing the numbers he put up in 2007 then you're really getting a deal on him for this type of package.

i don't think presti's going to consider trading the phoenix pick until it's more clear where phoenix will stand next year, anyway. but i'd say no to this deal. kaman's unreliable and his deal is too long.
