    I think Westbrook would be defending those guys, he was drafted primarily for his defensive potential and he's got the length to do it fairly well.

    I agree. it would be short term. A year or two to see who is the better point. Then trade the other.

    I realize that OKC is currently in our Division - however in time, there will be realignment in the NBA...and they won't be in our Division when that happens.

    To this, I believe that OKC can be a trading partner:


    here is my thinking: 3-team deal with New York

    [I know that this would be complicated, with some of this not transpiring until after July 1st]


    Outgoing:

    Portland: Travis / Sergio / #24, #33 / Ruffin (trade exception) / Frye

    New York: Lee / #8

    OKC: #3 / Bad Contract


    Incoming:

    Portland: OKC #3 (RUBIO) Bad Contract

    NY: Travis / Sergio / PDX #33 / Frye

    OKC: Lee / NY #8 / PDX #24/ Ruffin (trade exception)
