You could get Westbrook traded but it would be an all-in for a single season move.
He's expiring next year so if you went to a team that had a couple of bad contracts w/ additional term on them, you could get them to take Westbrooks 1 lousy year if you'll take 2 lousy years from the players you're getting in return.
Like, could you include another bad enough contract w/ the bad contract of Tobias Harris? From the 76ers standpoint it gets a 2 year liability off the books in exchange for a 1-year liability. Would you even need to? I think Harris at $37 million next year would be close enough to Westbrook's $47 to make it work. I don't remember the exact percentages by my memory is that it would work.
But all that does is make a 1 year problem into a 2-year problem when you take on $39 million for 23/24.
Then again, that's kinda what they may have to do if they hope to get Westbrook moved.
It was just such a completely inexplicable decision.
