And to kick the "insanity" up another notch: I think if OKC would have pulled the trigger on that Rondo-for-Westbrook offer a few years back, they would have beat the Heat in the Finals... They were one defensive-minded, pass-first guard away from being able to win that series.

Oh man, I strongly disagree on that last point. With Rondo and Thabo and Perkins, they wouldn't have had enough offense on the floor. KD would have been swarmed.
As I said above (while you were posting) I strongly dislike Westbrook's game from a stylistic standpoint. But to me, his results have reached the point where his overall impact is beyond reproach. He's an elite player.
