Rockets Trading Chris Paul to Thunder for Russell Westbrook

The Houston Rockets are sending Chris Paul to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Russell Westbrook, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Houston will send a bevy of picks and pick swaps to complete the deal, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania: 2024 first-round pick (1-4 protected), 2026 first-round pick (1-4 protected), 2025 pick swap (1-20 protected), 2021 pick swap (1-4 protected).

As Wojnarowski points out, the Thunder have accumulated up to eight first-round picks since NBA Draft night. The team recently sent Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers in a trade that sent shockwaves through the league.
