Thunder and Cavs blockbuster trade scenario for Westbrook

[BallsOut]

Cavs send: Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love
Cavs receive: Westbrook, Kanter, Roberson

Thunder send: Westbrook, Kanter, Roberson
Thunder receive: Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love

Why Cavs do it? They get Westbrook, another dynamic scorer and playmaker to combat the revamped Golden State Warriors. The departure of Mozgov is softened by the soft hands of Enes Kanter, a gifted offensive post and pick and pop threat. Throw in the athletic wing stopper in Roberson to contain the likes of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

Why Thunder do it? Get the most value they can now for Westbrook since he's going to leave by season's end. Thompson and Love can be easily flipped to a third team like the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers for future draft picks.

What are your thoughts on this trade?

LOL @ LeBron* fans. Dat logic.

**** no

Westbrook would not be a good fit with Kyrie and Lebron

Cavs fans are becoming worse than Lakers fans with the ridiculous trade suggestions.


If Presti ends up trading Westbrook, it will be for young players and a bunch of draft picks so he can commence a full rebuild. Trading a superstar point guard for a stat padder in Love who is at best a second option and Thompson who is a good but not special big man wouldn't make OKC any better of a team going forward.
