The makeover in Oklahoma City continues. And so does the Western Conference's seemingly never-ending game of "Can you top this?"

Just days after sending Paul George to the LA Clippers for an unprecedented haul of draft picks, the Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly shipped 2017 Kia MVP Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets.

Chris Paul and a package of first-round picks will be headed back to Oklahoma City, per a report by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Royce Young.

Wojnarowski added that the picks would be first-rounders in 2024 and 2026, along with pick swaps in 2021 and 2025. The deal was reportedly completed with Westbrook's blessing as Thunder GM Sam Presti worked with the eight-time All-NBA point guard and his agent, Thad Foucher.

Shams Charania of The Athletic subsequently broke down the protections:
