@ChurchPugh had an interesting idea.

Clippers get Russell Westbrook, PJ Tucker, and a future unprotected first round pick

Rockets get Paul George and Patrick Beverly

The Clippers run a serious risk of losing Kawhi next summer. Him and PG aren't a natural fit. They need an elite playmaker to complement him like Lowry in Toronto. Russ could be exactly that, while Tucker is an ideal complementary forward, and the future draft pick only serves to help.

The Rockets have already mortgaged their future to win a chip with James Harden. Him and Russ aren't co-existing well. Why not go a little more "all-in" and get a perfect complement to Harden? PG thrived with Westbrook as his playmaker, he should be able to go back to that in an up-tempo offense with Harden as his guy. Pat Bev already knows the system and is a nice Harden-complement.

Everyone seems to win to me.

Once again clippers didn’t trade SGA Gallo and 5 firsts just to get Westbrook.

Westbrook’s value is back to nothing. He proves over and over that he’s a liability in the playoffs.

PG does not have anywhere close to that kind of value II. He is a proven playoff choker time and time again and has one year left on his deal before he can opt out.

But those guys do the same as pg or haven’t been to play offs yet but Thompson but he was third option most the time.
