Sources say that he is unwilling to talk about extensions and that he is almost certainly going to leave. NBA GMs have said they think he will be traded before season starts, most seem to think Boston.
What Package of Assets/Players, If Any, Would You Trade for Westbrook?
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date

Yeah, I think they ask for it, but you got to think, if there are only 3 serious teams what are the others ones offering? You don't have to give the best possible deal to get Westbrook, you just have to beat the other deals.
If they wanted Gobert and Hood I would not include any first round picks. Gobert is a top 3 DPOY canidate and Hood is already an above average starter with even more potential. Both are <25 years of age.
Westbrook
Burks
Hayward
Lyles
Favors
That would be a fun lineup.

Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see Ainge giving them Brooklyn's 2017 1st. That should definitely be top 5, if not 3, in what is a killer draft.
Are any of those players going to be better than Westbrook? Did they just sign a 30 year old center to a max contract? Do they want to try and convince another top tier FA to sign with them in 2017? I think those answers are : Most likely not, yes, and yes. I think they want to win now so they do what they have to to get Westbrook.
You might be right though. They might get away with Jaylen Brown, 2018, and Marcus Smart (or something along those lines). It all depends on what else is being offered. From what I read the Thunder want to get a deal done and it makes most sense to do it ASAP so they can tank the full year and get ahead (or behind) the pack.
Nice English there, bro.
Have you ever seen History of the World - Mel Brooks?
You should. One of the funniest movies ever. I will try to find a clip relevant.

I'm surprised we are taking Westbrook. Its obvious we are pushing forward with what we have right now. If we made any changes, I think it's at the deadline. On paper, we are set.
I'm not sold on Westbrook anyway. He will hit his Iverson wall in a few years and won't be able to rely on that elite athleticism anymore. He's a star which we might not have currently, but I think our window is open longer than his.
