Thibodeau's Wild West Show?

The most sensational pre-draft rumor involves Russell Westbrook being traded to the Knicks for at least Julius Randal and a draft pick of unknown Knicks origin.

Westbrook wants out of Houston and there are only two plausible destinations; New York and Charlotte. 

New York offers a short, reasonable contract in Randle and lots of freed-up cap space.

Charlotte's deal almost inevitably involve's Houston assuming at least Terry Rozier's long, expensive contract.

The clock is ticking.  However, this kind of major transaction absolutely affects who gets drafted at 8.

If Westbrook is NY's PG w/Ntilikina as second wave then Haliburton and Vassell provide tempting candidates at 8 and both will be available there.

Secondly, if Westbrook is PG then 8 could well be trade bait for a rotation player to complement him.

The plot thickens.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
