Russell Westbrook takes shot at Reggie Jackson over OKC Thunder trade demand.
We’ve already heard about Reggie Jackson‘s demand the Oklahoma City Thunder trade him, which apparently isn’t sitting well with his teammates.
While Kevin Durant has remained mum on the subject, fellow guard Russell Westbrook apparently couldn’t keep his lips sealed as he fired at shot in the direction of Reggie Jackson today.
Asked about the upcoming NBA trade deadline, Russell Westbrook suggested all was quiet except for one person who wants out.

Now if Reggie Jackson isn’t traded then it’s likely Russell Westbrook will simply suggest he was just joking around and meant no ill will, but it seems pretty clear that was an intended shot as his unhappy teammate.
There’s of course nothing wrong with what Westbrook suggested, though, it’s pretty well known that you don’t speak about teammates situations, especially if they’ve requested a trade unless you’re venting your own frustrations. Also, Reggie Jackson hasn’t publicly come out and requested a trade (it was his agent) so I’m sure he’d like it if Russell Westbrook kept quiet on the situation.
Either way, certainly sounded like a bit of a dig.
