Lakers-Thunder

Lakers gets: Westbrook, Singler

Thunder gets: Russell, Ingram, rights to switch draft picks 2018

As a Thunder fan I take this deal and rebuild for a few years. This deal could only go down if Westbrook commits to Lakers long term but I believe he would. He gets his own team and in 2017 he can help them lure other stars to LA. No big name free agent will sign with Lakers to play with Russell or Ingram anyway.

Thunder should jump on that deal. That's a nice rebuild. Westbrook is out of there at the end of this season. No doubt about it.

I think since he won't sign an extension (smarter to hit free agency and get max $$ when the cap peaks), teams aren't going to want to risk giving up all their assets and risk losing him after 1 or even 1/ 2 a season. I think he'd resign with Lakers m, especially if they trade for him and have his Bird Rights to get the extra $$.

OKC: Russell, Randle, Williams, future 1st, and 2 future 2nds.

LAL: Westbrook

OKC can rebuild with 2 young lottery picks (Russell and Randle), and get future picks. This would give them a lot of young talent to start their rebuild.

Russell
Oladipo
Roberson/ Singler
Randle/ Sabonis
Adams/ Kanter.

Lakers can't afford to give up both Russell and Ingram.
