Report: There Is Almost No Scenario Where Thunder Trade Russell Westbrook

Once Kevin Durant left for Oklahoma City, the rumors surrounding Russell Westbrook’s exodus from the Thunder gained steam until Westbrook squashed them all when he signed an extension with the team.

Westbrook is now eligible for a trade come February 4, and no matter how the Thunder look with Westbrook running the show, there is reportedly no chance that OKC moves the star point guard next season.

More from Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders:

Sources close to the situation say the Thunder’s view on Westbrook is to see what he can do as the single focal point of the team and plan to keep the noise out of the equation until next summer.

 

Sources close to the situation have said, there is almost no scenario in which the Thunder look at trades with Westbrook this year.
