Now the informed spec is that OKC will immediately flip Chris Paul to a willing MIA. Don’t know what to think of that yet.
Westbrook’s first choice destination was Houston, not MIA. “Thunder” prioritized draft picks in both trades with LAC and Cows. Cognoscenti were wrong on both. (Doubly so. In Cognos’ reconsideration OKC wanted to weaken MIA not strengthen with Westbrook bc they own to “Heat” draft picks.) General manager Sam Presti is the polar oposite of Pat Riley. Okies now have 15 first round draft picks in next 7 years and draft position swap rights with 4 of those picks. Little obsessive there? Well, Presti is the only general manager in the whole history of the earth to have drafted 3 future league MVP’s: James Harden, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook. FUCK.
