Besides the report of reliable Greg Cote that Miami owner Micky Arison is not “as big a fan” of Russell Westbrook as Pat Riley is there has been absolutely nothing new today on the Westbrook front. I thought this might get done last night. I could hear in my mind’s ear the cell phone towers pinging between here and Oklahoma City; I could see in my mind’s eye the perspiration on the brow of Miami capaholic Andy Elisburg as he tweaked the numbers one more time and then, and then shouted “I’ve got it!” Where there is will there are ways and there was three-part will yesterday and seemingly myriad ways. Since then: silence.
