Phoenix Suns Rumours: Russell Westbrook trade rumours refuse to go away, Mike Conley could solve point guard issues and more

Russell Westbrook continues to be linked with the Suns

Russell Westbrook has failed to transform the Thunder into contenders

The Oklahoma City Thunder have not won a playoff series for three years. Last month, Billy Donovan's men went down 4-1 to the Portland Trail Blazers, and much of the blame has landed on the shoulders of Russell Westbrook. The All-Star point guard has spent his entire career with the Thunder, although multiple reports have suggested that he could be traded this summer.

While it remains to be seen if the Thunder will be open to trading Westbrook, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report believes that the Suns have the assets to complete a trade:

The Thunder wouldn't receive as much in return as the former MVP's stature might suggest, the Phoenix Suns could cobble together something that gets their attention.

It'd be a three-piece offer headlined by the sixth overall pick in the upcoming draft, which perhaps delivers a point guard replacement in Darius Garland or Coby Smith. The rest of the deal would feature Tyler Johnson, who's owed just his $19.2 million player option for next season, and TJ Warren, a 25-year-old combo forward who scores at ease and seamlessly added a three-ball to his arsenal in 2018-19.

Westbrook has averaged a triple-double in three consecutive seasons and is contracted through to 2023.
