ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped another “Woj Bomb” last night, as he broke the news that Russell Westbrook had been traded to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Chris Paul and a handful of future first round draft picks.
At the time the Thunder-Rockets trade was announced, Westbrook was actually hosting a comedy show in Tulsa, Oklahoma as part of a charity event to benefit the “Light It Up” Foundation.
The eight-time All Star took some time to thank everyone for coming out, and later met with fans in the crowd.

Westbrook averaged a triple-double for the third consecutive season last year, averaging 22.9 points,11.1 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game.
The Thunder finished with a 49-33 record, but were eliminated by the Portland Trail Blazers in five games in the first round and they’re now in full rebuild mode.
If they can figure it out, Harden/Westbrook is the best 1-2 punch in the league.
