Si Russell Westbrook at Chris Paul ay tuloy ang sagupaan ngunit sa iba na nilang koponan.
Ang pag sasaayos ng team ng oklahoma ay patuloy parin. kamakailan lamang si Paul George ay inilipat na ng Thunder sa LA Clippers at kahapon naman ayon sa ulat ay ang 2017 Kia MVP Russell Westbrook sa Houston Rockets. Si Westbrook at ang dating kakampi na si James Harden ang 2018 mvp ay mag kakamping muli.
Si Chris Paul at ang first-round picks ay mapupunta sa Oklahoma city, ayon sa report ng ESPN Adrian Wojnarowki at Royce Young.

dagdag pa ni Wojnarowski na ang picks ay first-rounders in 2024 and 2026, kasama ng pick swaps sa 2021 at 2025. ang kasunduan ito ay ini-ulat na may basbas ni Westbrook at ng Thunder GM Sam Presti na tinarbaho nila ng eight-time ALL-NBA point guard at ng kanyang agent, Thad Foucher.
Shams Charania of the Athletic subsequently broke down the protections:
Sources: Pick protections in Thunder/Rockets, Russell Westbrook/Chris Paul trade:
2024 first-round pick, protected 1-4
2026 first-round pick, protected 1-4 2025 swap, 1-20 protected
2021 swap, protected 1-4 — OKC can swap Clippers pick or Heat pick.
James Harden was a driving force in this deal, I’m told. Russell Westbrook and Harden decides they wanted to reunite and Rockets made it happen despite some questions about fit now that Harden is so ball dominant. Houston believes ceiling is higher with Russ than CP3.
