It'll be very interesting to see how Westbrook responds tonight.
I'm starting think Westbrook may not resign with the Thunder, and they may look to sign, and trade him down the road. He clearly wants to be the man, and that's not going to happen with Durant on your team.

:cheers:
I know Thunder fans don't want to hear this, and it maybe an extreme over-reaction, but this type of thing has happened before. Not enough balls for two ego's, both want to be the man, one decides to eventually leave or the team trades them.
Not saying it will happen.

Dude, you don't give up on a 22 year old player who has made incredible strides as a PG in only 3 years. You have to remember this dude was a SG in college and moved to the point in the NBA. His game now compared to when he entered the league is phenomenally better and with his work ethic, mindset, and coachability there may not be a ceiling for just how good Westbrook can play. Giving up on a player this soon is how you destroy a franchise. Westbrook will not be traded off this team any time in the next 5 years.

Don't bother. These kats just rehashing whatever the media tells them. Westbrook is taking a whole 2 more fgas per game than he did in the regular season.
As for coming out of the game and getting benched, as was mentioned he tried to change the play call but nobody responded so he had to go 1 on 1, turned the ball over, Scott pulled him and he yelled, "run the fvckin play!!.... every God damned time!" while pointing on the court.
He was asked about it again last night after practice and again laughed at the media and dismissed the notion he is mad or upset trying to take over the team, said something like, "you guys keep looking at what i do, how bad or good I'm playing, but what's important is how is the team playing and we were winning and are in the western conference finals."
3 wins away from potentially reaching the finals, with a team who are all locked up at least 1 more season and ages go 22,27,22,21,26 (starting lineup) then 22,24,22,22,29 and only 1 30+ in Nazr and yet people want to act like the sky is falling.

He'll probably understand that he can't play like a dumbass and stay on the court otherwise his backup will gladly take his playing time.

He also said, "We so excited!"

I doubt it's the franchise that would cause a departure, it would probably be Westbrooke's decision.
I don't think he wants to leave, but the media are doing a great job at trying to shove a wedge in that team for some reason
just put Westbrook at Shooting Guard, can't trust him to run Point anymore
