My sense of all the Westbrook "rumors" is that they have been wishful thinking for LA, and that's about it. IOW I don't think any doors have ever been there in the first place.
Instead I think LA's choices are to play him or to sit/waive him until his contract runs out.
It's hard to see any value to someone else in getting RW - you don't want him on the court, he certainly won't be a trade chip, you won't re-sign him, you he won't be attracting sign-and-trade offers when he's a FA. It's no value, and huge negative (he's owed massive money, that you have to pay him if you trade for him -- the kind that an owner wants lots of compensation for).
What makes it even more impossible is that LA wants YOU to send value to them (like Kyrie, or the Indy boys). As if he's someone you want. Sheesh.
