The Russell Westbrook Trade Rumors are Heating Up

Recently a report surfaced stating the Houston Rockets were looking to make some trades this off season which included everyone but James Harden and.....only James Harden.

Any move between Houston and New York for Westbrook would likely include Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox, Julius Randle and draft picks. The Knicks would be looking to add another star next off season via free agency and build around Westbrook and RJ Barrett.

Houston doesn't have a coach, their GM is gone, and the team was built to play a Mike D'Antoni style game.

One problem, D'Antoni isn't around anymore and by the sounds of it, neither will Russell Westbrook.
