Following the shocking trade of Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers, the NBA world has waited for the next shoe to drop — a potential trade of George’s former teammate Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City.
It appears, while not imminent, Westbrook’s representatives and the Thunder organization are at least exploring options for the longtime Thunder player, and the Detroit Pistons are one team being mentioned as a possible landing spot for the point guard.
The Thunder, staring down the barrel of onerous luxury tax payments would love to begin a proper rebuild, and the team is well stocked with draft assets after getting a bounty in return for George.
