    Or they could just play a lineup of

    Westbrook - Jackson - Lamb/Sefolosha/Perry Jones - Durant - Ibaka

    If Westbrook is gone , I could see Durant wanting to leave very soon.

    Given how the thunder have played without WB i could c the possibility of trading him. That being said, i dont think i would do it to new york, since they got nothing. I will try to get something like antony Davis ( not gonna happen), andre drumond + picks, favors + picks or something else of value.
    Basically a young and athletic big who can play center, rebound and defend the basket, able to score on dunks and putbaks, + sometihng else of value, shooters, picks or a backup pg for jackson.

    LOL @ realistic. Yeah trade your 25-yr old all-star player for a 31-yr old passed his prime center, and a couple of avg role players. And at the same time pissing off Durant enough to make him leave when he is a free agent in 2016.

    Not happening.

    You're describing what the Thunder received Harden.

    FIFY

    Sorry, but Yahoo has gone to sh**

    If it wasn't for Woj, BDL and their fantasy sports, I would never go there.

    Its practically TMZ, everybody outside of Woj is just pitiful. I told Dwyer his articles sucked a couple of months ago and dude wouldn't believe me. That turd he turned out just yesterday should be proof enough, Clutch wouldn't even allow it in the GARM because it was so bad and locked it up.

    they Durant is playing right now, they can afford to lose Westbrook.

    I'm not a big fan of W but, Parsons for Westbrrook, is a win-win.

    I'm scared to try crack for this very reason. The euphoria is supposed to be amazing, but then you write nonsense like this before you go full-on homeless.

    So is BimaThug. Compare this to the CF articles he turns out. Just goes to show what they'll publish in a big media market for website hits. Just garbage.

    Uhhh... Please dont compare this crap to anything BimaThug writes. That's pretty insulting.

    I would compare this to a well written post in the random trade thread.

    OKC needs to keep Westbrook by all means. Trade Durant for Chandler instead. Dude is a total bust. Couldn't even put up 40 on lowly Miami.

    Felton has no trade value. Swapping picks is very low value given Westbrook and Anthony together. Even dumping Perkins doesn't matter that much anymore as his contract is just months away from morphing into something with (marginal) positive value in a trade.

    So at heart, it's Westbrook for Chandler and Shumpert. Unless you truly believe that Reggie Jackson is a top ten point guard in this league for the next 8 years (in which case, sure, your overall rotation is upgraded), liking that trade from the Thunder's perspective is crazy.
