The NBA moves fast. A week ago, the Thunder was the quietest team off the offseason. Then, Paul George requested a trade.
Now, George and Jerami Grant are gone and the Thunder is considering moving Russell Westbrook, as well. The Oklahoman’s Thunder coverage team of Erik Horne, Maddie Lee and Berry Tramel tackle a roundtable of questions on the team’s direction:
Which team is most likely to trade for Russell Westbrook?
Horne, Thunder beat writer: Probably Miami. It makes too much sense to pair Jimmy Butler with another star. The basketball fit isn’t great, but a Butler-Westbrook combo should be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference.
