That being said, how likely is it that we can package players to OKC to get their first round pick from them? Though they may be wounded, I doubt that Presti stands pat especially if Westbrook gives him any indication that he would like to stick around. I wonder how far does a Lance Thomas (and/or Derrick Williams) sign and trade gets us for a pick swap in 2017 or 2018.

But I still think we can't return anything of value the Thunder other than KP, which would be the dumbest decision Phil has made (and he's accrued a pretty impressive list of them since being here). I just don't see any iteration where we could field a competitive offer for Westbrook, nor would I want to. People complain about players putting up empty numbers but conveniently omit a guy like Westbrook because he played next to a HOF. Without Durant, I suspect that Westbrook will get badly exposed as such and I wouldn't want that type of cancer around a guy like KP.

...What? Is this Westbrook the same triple double machine who wants to tear off the rim every chance he can? There isn't a single team that wouldn't want Westbrook on their team.
