[QUOTE="bEER_Nation13, post: 129593288, member: 1349554"] Lakers will probably get Russell Westbrook since LA is his hometown, he did play at UCLA and we all (or least I did) got to watch him play live at the Coliseum when WVU beat them few years ago. The question is do they trade for him. It would take someone like Ingram or Russell + draft pick to get him. But they could just wait until next summer when he becomes a UFA and sign him without losing any assets. Of course, Knicks could make a trade for him by giving up someone like Porzingis + draft pick. NY is another real possibility for him because I think he likes the big city scene. I think Knicks or Lakers will likely be where he signs next year with Boston being a dark horse. But I think if someone does make a trade for him and gives up some legit assets, they will feel very confident about being able to resign him because I would not give up Ingram, Porzingis, etc for a 1 year rental. But OKC has to trade him unless they know 100% he will resign. He seems more of a honest guy than KD, he'll tell the management straight up if he wants to or not. If not, then they will trade him.
