Rumor has it that the Thunder are willing to trade Russell Westbrook to the Celtics, so as to avoid losing him in free agency. I am not sure if this is going to happen quickly, but maybe before the trade deadline after the All-Star break. With Durant's departure, I don't think OKC is just going to sit and watch their free walk away.
That was a huge mistake for the thunder if that will happen, I wonder OKC will not be fun to watch anymore, I don't think they will do that as they don't want to lose the market, that is a big lose on their part, they can still make it to the playoffs with westbrook on board.
