Knicks weigh Westbrook trade, Rockets star denies Harden rift

Despite Russell Westbrook denying the rumors that he doesn’t want to play with James Harden anymore, the trade chatter just wouldn’t die.

Westbrook replied on ESPN’s Instagram, denying that the Rockets superstars no longer want to play together.

”It’s my birthday, but I should say. This is completely fabricated. Y’all have a good night,” Westbrook said.
But even Westbrook’s denial couldn’t stop the trade chatter building up for what could be a blockbuster trade in this compressed offseason.

Marc Stein of the New York Times tweeted on Friday that the New York Knicks have weighed trading for Westbrook.
