Let the official Knicks for Clicks season to began. It was only a matter of time but Russell Westbrook officially wants ‘out of Houston’ according to Shams.

The former MVP wants out of Houston after only one season with the team, the question then becomes what is Westbrooks value? I don’t think he will command a top first round pick. Obviously Houston will want significant compensation for his services but will they get that? Maybe.

The question than shifts quickly too who wants him? It was reported that the Clippers and the New York Knicks are the two teams that have expressed interest in Westbrook if he becomes available and now that he is, lets wait and see. From the standpoint of assets the Clippers have ZERO they absolutely mortgaged their future on Paul George with the draft picks they gave OKC and too be honest they do not really have ‘great’ young talent.

On the flip side of things the Knicks have a good amount of draft pick in the coming years and promising young player. But if you’re the Knicks getting Westbrook is kind of a ‘win now move.’ The Knicks are in no position to win now and actually have acknowledge that they are in the rebuilding stage currently. So getting Westbrook while it would be ‘flashy’ it does not really help them down the line. It could actually hurt their future a lot if they trade away RJ Barrett or Mitchell Robinson or a future 1st round pick. Lets stop the Knicks for Clicks talks already and just let this play out please. No negativity for the Knicks this offseason they are finally trying to build correctly do not screw anything up PLEASE.
