I will preface right away here that the Chicago Bulls should not directly trade the Oklahoma City Thunder for superstar veteran point guard Russell Westbrook. Everything the Bulls are building this summer would fall apart with the cost that Russ would come with.
What led the Thunder to having the idea of Russ shopped in the first place was a thunderous (no pun intended) deal that involved the Los Angeles Clippers landing superstar forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in one pivotal morning, on July 6.
The trade that involved the Thunder sending PG to the Clippers for a king’s ransom was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on his Twitter timeline.
