Bleacher Report has reported in the wake of Kevin Durant leaving for Golden State, the future of Russell Westbrook is anyone’s guess for now. One of the most athletically gifted players in the NBA, Westbrook is a point guard that can bury you in scoring while leaving you dazed with blazing speed and changing directions.
Westbrook to the Celtics potentially would make teams lose their minds trying to figure out how to stop Isaiah Thomas and the elusive Westbrook. Nonetheless, throwing in Al Horford into the mix will just make you throw away the whiteboard and hope for the best.
At 27 years old, Westbrook is still in his prime and has the energy of an energizer bunny when he is on the court. Just whenever Westbrook is on the court, he is a difference making player and can change how a game goes.
If Westbrook were to be traded to the Celtics, first of all, the C’s would have to give up a lot obviously in order to acquire the star point guard. Jae Crowder, Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, Tyler Zeller would all be names involved in the trade for Westbrook. Crowder’s name has already popped up in a rumored trade if the C’s were to get Clippers star dunker Blake Griffin.
A star player that could be heading towards the East Coast, Westbrook would be a extremely helpful player on he C’s roster and would make the Celtics contenders for the championship as soon as he signs the contract. We will see where the negotiations head off to and it should get more interesting as the hours and days go by.
