The fall out from that deal imo is that Westbrook started to assert even more his equivalence to KD and the beginning of a fraying of their relationship at least in the bb sense (who should have the ball more kind of thing). Durant's departure seemed to mirror the Bosh one out of Toronto. Management were frozen in place unable to gauge KD's intentions and fearful of fan reaction if they traded him ...as well as getting true value especially after the Harden debacle. So, I sort of sympathize with Presti who probably had ownership breathing all over. The CBA changes too well may have played a part (spreading the wealth, cap restrictions).
Westbrook is an amazing player but I wonder if he is malleable enough to work/play (especially as the PG) on a championship winning team. He may have been the real reason KD decided to leave. Funny how things work out.
