You'd have cap space next summer and all of your first round picks once the draft is concluded. It's definitely a step backwards this season as I don't think Westbrook would want to come off the bench and even if he does, he'd more than likely be a negative. You'd sacrifice some shooting but maybe with the extra roster spots you could kick the tires on someone like Quinn Cook and then get another scrap heap ball hander/creator.
I'm not a fan of going the cap space route, but there is a small part of me that would be interested in this. It would clean up the books, and I wonder if Westbrook could be a useful rotational piece if he were willing to come off the bench and run the second unit?
It doesn't really matter because I don't see LA making that trade.
