There has been a lot of speculation about the possibility of Oklahoma City trading their superstar point guard Russell Westbrook since Paul George was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Westbrook is reportedly intrigued by the Miami Heat.
Here is an excerpt from Adrian Wojnarowski and ESPN:
In the aftermath of co-star Paul George’s departure, Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook welcomes the idea of general manager Sam Presti engineering a trade that would bring an end to his illustrious 11-year career with the franchise, league sources tell ESPN.
The Miami Heat have expressed interest, a potential destination that also appeals to Westbrook, league sources said.
Westbrook and his agent Thad Foucher have been discussing trade possibilities and scenarios with Presti and the sides are both motivated to find a resolution sooner rather than later, league sources tell ESPN.
Tyler Herro, who hasn’t signed his rookie contract with the Miami Heat, has been included in some trade rumors according to Chris Fisher of 24/7Sports.com:
The Thunder, who targeted Herro in the draft, would likely want him included in any trade scenario for Westbrook, who is still due $171 million from the 5-year contract extension he signed in September of 2017. Since Herro has yet to sign with Miami, he can be dealt immediately without a 30-day waiting period.
It will be interesting to see how everything shakes out and it sounds like we could find out sooner rather than later.
