What can the Thunder get for Westbrook that allows them to still contend for a ring?

[DMAVS41]

Well I meant that you have a young player already developing well in that position and it doesnt really make sense to trade away one of your best players this season (Affalo) and a young Center who has shown promise (Vucevic) and a lottery pick for Westbrook.

Affalo, Vucevic, Oladipo, and lottery pick >>>> Westbrook

No sense to take the Knicks route to get a star.

What? You aren't losing Oladipo in my trade. You are keeping him!

Oladipo would be perfect to pair next to WB. They would be the best defensive backcourt in the league...and actually opens up Oladipo to do what he does best.

You are also ignoring that the Magic are getting back the Dallas first round pick...and Perry Jones III

So in reality it's;

Afflalo, Vucevic, Nelson, and a lottery pick for WB, Perry Jones, Thabo, and a first round Dallas pick

Nelson is irrelevant. Afflalo is opting out after next year and the Magic are either going to lose him or overpay him (trust me...pray you lose him)

And while Vucevic is good and losing a top pick stinks, WB is a legit superstar. The Magic would be lucky go get a player 75% as good as WB with their pick this year.

You really telling me that the Magic wouldn't trade Vucevic and the 4th pick for WB and the 20th pick? Because that is essentially what the deal boils down to give or take. Not to mention Perry Jones is really good.

The Magic already made a huge mistake not moving Afflalo...they better move him this summer or early next year or they are retarded.

[COLOR="Magenta"]Deron williams would b perfect

a pg who knows his place,wont fire dum shots especially in the clutch

[miles berg]

Westbrook and Perk for Deron Williams and Brook Lopez.

[blacknapalm]

should have been pulled the trigger when rondo was hurt and wb was healthy. with rondo's contract, you probably could have got faverani or something too.

[miggyme1]

u guys just dont get it.

the addition of westbrook paired with kevin durant is what makes the thunder so special.

u give kevin durant a pg like deron williams and they wont even make it to the western finals. smh

The best trade would be a 3 teamer with BOS, LAL and OKC
I don't know specifics, but the major pieces being:
Rondo to OKC
Westbrook to LAL
Laker's pick (and future pick) to BOS and Steve Nash's broken down body

[Jasper]

Real point is (this discussion occurred many times) a PG is not that realitive for winning a ring.
Perfect ecample was the Bulls run as well as Miami's Pg.

They need to be defensive , bring ball up , and pop the occasional shoot or drive.
Harper as Chalmers are right there.

Westbrook would be better off , to be the force he is and become the SG.

Bring in a true PG.
-------
That being said , I'll stick with thread OP and say that even the league has excepted PG to become twinners, Rose , Rondo , Westbrook etc etc etc

Teague from the Hawks would be a better fit for Oak.

Durant can not burden the whole offense , like Bron in Cav land.
League has changed where you need a legit 3 star players to win it all.

This dates back to Knicks , Lakers and even my Bucks ring year with Kareem , Big O, and Bobby D.

[Mass Debator]

Yeah, Westbrook just has to slide into that SG role and sign Kyle Lowry next year.

Go-ran Dra-gic

[scm5]

Conley + Gasol for Russ and Perk.

I think Memphis would take that trade if OKC throws in Lamb for Tony Allen.

Tony Allen would benefit OKC a lot as well, the dude is such a game changer defensively and only takes good looks.

Rubio + Love for Westbrook.

OKC wouldn't do it, cause they're idiots, but Timberwolves would jump at this opportunity easily

[aboss4real24]

Rubio + Love for Westbrook.

OKC wouldn't do it, cause they're idiots, but Timberwolves would jump at this opportunity easily

[COLOR="Magenta"]if u think the wolves would that . ur an idiot [/COLOR]

They would easily do it, Love will leave anyway, and Westbrook >>>>>>>>>>> rubio both in playing level and marketability, and the later is what Wolves desperately need.

[aj1987]

Rubio + Love for Westbrook.

OKC wouldn't do it, cause they're idiots, but Timberwolves would jump at this opportunity easily

Why the heck would the Wolves give up a top 5 player and a top 15 PG for a borderline top 10 player?!
