With rumor season in full swing, we react to Russell Westbrook's reported trade request, peer into the Rockets' potentially Knicks-ian future, and wonder if Westbrook's career was always destined to end this way. Then we parse the messy Victor Oladipo situation in Indiana, and eventually talk ourselves into him and Westbrook getting traded for each other. Finally, we assess the Chris Paul fit in Phoenix, and the challenges of squeezing DeMar DeRozan onto the Lakers. Plus a shout out to @yaboynimrit!
