The Russell Westbrook trade rumor mill was fired up again earlier this week. It received a bucket – well, maybe a small glass – of cold water on Friday.
ESPN’s Chris Broussard said any talk of Boston moving to acquire Westbrook at this point is all speculation, particularly since Celtics general manager/president Danny Ainge “is one of the chief wheelers and dealers in the league.”
“On paper, they make sense as a team that could trade for a Blake Griffin or a Russell Westbrook,” Broussard said of the Celtics dealing for either of the two Western Conference stars.
