If I'm OKC I'm trying my hardest to send Westbrook and picks to NOH for Chris Paul.
Maybe even include a Perkins for Okafor swap with Perk going to a playoff team for an expiring and a pick, that way NOH saves more money and gets an extra 1st.
Westbrook is very good and still has some potential, but I'm not a big fan of his game and shot selection, I see some underlying attitude issues.
He's become very overrated, even guilty myself.
I think he's a top 20 player, at least this year, but I had him over Melo and I can't justify that one anymore.

Ouch.. I dislike 'Melo myself, but would never dare rank Wetbrook ahead of him.

Yep, if you can pull this off, you gotta do it. Russel's a legit all-star and I think OKC needs him to dominate the ball like he does and the bad shots and turnovers are sort of a necessary evil, but Paul turns Harden and Ibaka into 15-17 PPG guys, and Durant only gets more efficient.
I'm just hoping that Westbrook + filler for Dwight never comes into consideration... If I'm Orlando, I'd rather start my rebuild with Westbrook than Brook or Bynum. Hopefully Orlando will want a total rebuild, and cap relief will be the factor they value most.
I honestly don't think OKC wants to move Westbrook though. Him and Durant seem truly tight, and that team is only going to get better the longer it stays together.
