Here comes! Westbrook personally accepts the status quo! The last big brand in the NBA free market

Westbrook: "The news about my final destination is coming soon, please be calm."

In June this year, Westbrook refused to execute the player option with the Nuggets in the 25-26 season, thus becoming a full free agent, but has not signed a new home yet. There are many different opinions on this, and some people even think that he will retire...

According to previous reports, Westbrook is close to signing the Kings and only needs to wait for Kumingga's problem to be solved.

Westrow, wearing the Nuggets' jersey last season, held a basic salary contract of $3.3 million, played 36 starts in 75 regular season games, averaged 27.9 minutes per game, scored 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 breaks, with a shooting percentage of 44.9%, 32.3% and 66.1% in three events; in the playoffs, all substitutes played 13 games, averaging 24.1 minutes per game, contributing 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists, and hit percentages of 39.1%, 31.7% and 70% in three events.

In terms of data and combined with annual salary, Westbrook, who is about to be 37, is a very cost-effective player, but unexpectedly, he is almost ignored in the free market this summer, and the Kings are one of the few teams that have substantial contact with him.

However, this kind of thing is not very strange. Many big-name stars can still produce good data in their last years of their careers, but because of their age, they will be ruthlessly eliminated.

For example, Anthony played for the Lakers in the 21-22 season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1 assist in the regular season, and averaged 2.2 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 37.5%. However, he did not get an NBA contract in the summer of 222 and had no choice but to announce his retirement in May 23.

Fortunately, as mentioned above, according to Westbrook's words and major sources, this 9-time All-Star guard is likely to be able to continue to seek job opportunities in the NBA at least in the new season, and will not be forced to leave the game sadly like Anthony.

means that if you really sign a contract with the King who only has the ability to compete for the playoffs, it means that Westbrook will be the same as Anthony, that is, there will be no championship in his NBA career.
