The Oklahoma City Thunder no longer have to sweat because Russell Westbrook has reportedly agreed to a contract extension.

As I’ve said in previous posts, with Kevin Durant’s decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes turned to Russell Westbrook. Everyone wondered how Westbrook felt about the situation, if he had any prior knowledge, if he told Durant he was going to leave OKC and more. Durant’s introductory presser with the Warriors didn’t reveal much, but he did an interview following his practice with Team USA for the Olympics.
Since the departure of Kevin Durant to the Oklahoma City Thunder, eyes have turned to Russell Westbrook and his future. Westbrook will become a free agent next year and the Thunder are faced with the task of what to do. They don’t know if Westbrook wants to stay but can’t risk letting him walk away with nothing in return like they did with Durant. But there are murmurs that he does want to stay in OKC, at least for now.
As I said before, the departure of Kevin Durant means some major shakeups in the NBA. Russell Westbrook will be a free agent next year and the Oklahoma City Thunder have some big decisions to make. If they can’t get Westbrook to sign an extension, they may ship him out to recoup something before he leaves on his own.
Sooooo, Oklahoma City has traded Serge Ibaka to Orlando Magic on draft day. WTH. How are they gonna get to finals next year?
Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook has bowed out of the 2016 Olympics in Rio today. What does this mean for Team USA?
