    I would do it heartbeat. He's only in his 2nd year and he's already one of the top finishers at the rim in the league. Great passing skills and basketball IQ. His shooting isn't as good as Brooks but his aggressiveness driving in the paint more than makes up for it.

    Yea Westbrook is a pimp. I like AB, but I would flip him in that deal.

    Westbrook choked on the last 3 possesions. His playmaking ability is worse than brooks.

    I would, too. But OKC wouldn't do it. Westbrook is better than Brooks.

    Unless Westbrook develops a consistent outside shot, I will choose Brooks over West Brooks everytime.

    Brooks would play much better next to Durant than Westbrook!

    Hell no! Brooks is waay better than Russell! Westbrook has the size advantage but Brooks is way better on the perimeter.

    Brooks and Westbrook are equal at driving in.

    Westbrook is a nice player but I'd keep AB. He's a better shooter scorer and his play making is going to keep getting better.
