Apparently, now that George is out in OKC, the Thunder are looking to blow things up and discussing trade possibilities for Russell Westbrook.

Count on Russ Westbrook asking out or being moved now. Only question is where and for how much. Just a thought: how much fun would it be to have KD and Russ battling for the NY crown while Kawhi/PG and LeBron/AD are doing the same in LA?
