RUMOR: Houston Rockets Could Trade Russell Westbrook

All along, the Rockets traded for Westbrook ultimately to increase their chances at winning a championship. The hard part is that the organization will not see how Harden and Westbrook perform together in the playoffs until way after the trade deadline is over.

The regular season can only reveal so much, and it will be up to Morey to make an early judgement with limited information.

The question must be asked — Is Morey looking more seriously into moving Westbrook than a typical player? Only time will tell.
