    I’m calling it right now.

    EDIT: this is my prediction, not thread title “Sources: Ujiri is going to trade for Westbrook”

    Ujiri is a good GM. No damn way he does this.

    No, he’s a risk taker, but not an idiot!

    Doubt it, if anything he blows it up and trades Lowry for all those picks Thunder just got.

    If Ujiri is really smart he's going to trade Gasol, Lowry and maybe even Siakam (ding ding, he's where the Rockets should make a call imo) and rebuild, without Kawhi they are done, getting Westbrook won't make them a contender.

    Funny how he had a chance to reportedly and was too smart not to do it.

    Jerami Grant needs to be a target for Morey.

    He did not pass. The Clippers made the better offer.
    You guys just read rumours to make your arguments.

    Also just thought of one team that’s even more likely to make a deal for Westbrook. PAT RILEY AND THE MIAMI HEAT.

    This actually makes even more sense. Dragic (1 year left) Winslow and Bam and any picks they can trade. Can even throw in more to take Adams off their hands though it would be to break it up into smaller contracts.

    SOURCES!

    Miami is out of assets unless okc values Goran over Rus.

    No you’re right they don’t have much. But Winslow is one good piece. Goran is expiring (more likely to unload Russ for than a CP contract for example), Bam is an ok piece and they can also break up say Steven Adams contract into two contracts of his value is low (not sure how the league views Adams). And I’m not sure what firsts Miami have left to offer but whatever they can they would include, even if it’s unprotected.

    Westbrook and Butler on the same team. What a clash of personalities.

    And if you’re gonna rebuttal with something that you’ve read online, then you have not learned anything.
