Living in fear of a Russell Westbrook trade

I can’t sleep. I’m not eating. I’m anxiously checking my phone every 30 seconds. My marriage is suffering.

Don’t get me wrong. Russell Westbrook is a very good player. He’d be the best point guard in Detroit by a large margin. A team that has spent years looking for an upgrade over Reggie Jackson could do much worse than Russell Westbrook the player. But it’s not just Westbrook the player. It’s also Russell Westbrook the contract, and that contract.

Holy. Shit.

That contract. Of course, Pistons fans might already be numb to so many zeroes.
