Russel Westbrook and James Harden meet again. It was known that Westbrook was on the starting line after Paul George’s trade with the Clippers.
We also knew that Houston was on the line to welcome him, even if Miami was the hottest track, with Detroit, even New York also on the record. But the Rockets finally got the last word. ESPNreports the news: OKC leader in Houston Chris Paul doing the opposite.
The Thunder also recovers two first rounds of Draft (2024, 2026) and can exchange his first pick with the Rockets in 2021 and 2025. Still according to the same source, the Texas club would have liked to find a third team to content “CP3”. Charge to OKC, in reconstruction mode, to take charge of this task.
Miami could host the 34-year-old playmaker, who has three years of contract left at $ 124 million. Russell Westbrook remains in three seasons in triple doubles, a record. He has already played with Harden in Oklahoma, reaching the Finals in 2012 (defeat against Miami by LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh).
The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, pick swaps in 2021 and 2025, league sources tell ESPN.

Houston hoped to find third-team destination preferable to Chris Paul, but ultimately leaves it OKC to execute next step once Presti confers w/ CP3 agent Leon Rose. Miami remains possibility for Paul (3 years, $124M) — and OKC obviously has picks to incentivize deal, if needed.
