Earl Watson lost his starting spot in the Thunder lineup to Russell Westbrook and he knows that a trade may be looming.

"It's very high," said Watson. "At the same time, I'm trying to make the best of the situation here. But I think the writing is pretty much on the wall."

Watson is making $6.2 million this season and $6.6 million next season to conclude his contract.

"It's obvious the way things are going," he said. "We're a team that's still in transition. . . . You try to be professional and try to mesh in, and try to make the best out of this team."
