I think the Pistons are an intriguing place for Westbrook.

Detroit get Russell Westbrook

OKC gets Reggie Jackson, Langston Galloway, Luke Kennard, Thon Maker, 2020 1st from Detroit Unprotected, and 2022 1st from Detroit Unprotected

OKC adds two more unprotected 1sts, gets out of a ton of long term money since Jackson and Galloway are expirings, and picks up a couple of young players still on their rookie deals. Kennard would be an interesting pairing with Shai in the back court for OKC. Detroit probably shoots up to contending for home court advantage in the Eastern Conference with Westbrook, Griffin, and Drummond.

Parker is still only 24 and he’d probably be a good compliment to Zach at the 4. Who knows, seems weird he hasn’t been signed yet.

He seems like the type that thinks he's too good to play for the MLE, let alone for the minimum. He was lucky to get $20 million last year from the Bulls.

Heat get Chris Paul

Rockets get Russell Westbrook

Thunder get Goran Dragic (expiring), Justise Winslow, 2020 and 2022 1sts from Houston

OKC doesn't get a ton for Russ but I think this is about as good as they'll get.

I'd be stunned if the Heat gave up Justice Winslow. They seemed really pleased with how he was developing in the latter half of last season playing point for them. I think they might want to get an aging Chris Paul to help increase his learning curve, not replace him.

Paul is only happy with the ball in his hands. He hasn't been willing to teach younger players much so far in his career. Plus the Heat also have Jimmy Butler now who is also ball dominant. Winslow will have to go back to his old role which isn't good for him.

I think those are very good points. I just can't see the Heat giving up a rising star for a guy on the downside of his career. At least not without getting more back.

Rising star? It was his fourth year in the league and he averaged 12 points per game with awful efficiency numbers. Yes, he was better last year in a different role but still not that good of a player.

Yeah, I stand by that, just from what I saw of him. His role changed. He played better and the team was doing better.

All true. Him being a serviceable starter doesn't make him a rising star though.

Your referring to a team that lost 5 more games than the year before and didn't make the playoffs? That's better?

That is true. I didn't really word that as I would have liked. I do think he's an up-and-coming talent and he still has a high ceiling.

Winslow missed with injury I think in maybe two chunks of the season and wasn't moved to point guard until part way into the year. Although I am not big on metrics, his numbers improved in most areas, if not astronomically.

They had started experimenting with Winslow at point the year before otherwise he wouldn't have been signed to a big extension.
 
OKC is completely blowing it up. I really like Jerami Grant-- traded to DEN for a 2020 first rounder.

Is this a joke? Great addition for Denver.

They have yet another athletic, long rangy swingman. I really like that roster.

Harris/Craig/Grant/Millsap/Lyles are the kind of guys to put around Murray/Jokic.
