Reject 3.5 million US dollars! Westbrook makes a decision, and the road to NBA career is getting wider and wider

The NBA Finals are in full swing, and the free agent trading market is undercurrent. Antetokounmpo is temporarily unwilling to leave the team, Durant has become a hot commodity, and many eastern and western giant teams such as the Spurs, Rockets, Heat, Knicks, Timberwolves, Mavericks are bidding for the God of Death. According to US media, the Durant transaction is expected to be completed in the next few days. At the same time, veteran super giants such as James, Harden, Westbrook have player options, and they can also take the initiative to control their destiny. According to the rules of the NBA's labor and capital agreement, they can decide whether to implement player options before June 30!

Just today, Westbrook made a decision in advance! According to NBA famous reporter Stein, Westbrook refused to execute the player option worth $3.5 million in the last year and became a full free agent. Then, NBA salary expert Bobby Marks updated the Nuggets' salary status after Westbrook became a free agent. At present, after Westbrook rejects the player option, the Nuggets' total salary will be lower than the second richest line of $10.6 million, but the Nuggets have 12 players with contracts, and they can only use the exception of $5.7 million to supplement the two veterans' basic salary players. If Westbrook's move is to sign a contract with the Nuggets again, he can only sign a basic salary contract for a veteran for more than 10 years. His salary next season is 3.6 million US dollars

Life experience tells me that Westbrook cannot refuse 3.5 million US dollars first and then sign 3.6 million US dollars. A mere $100,000 is not worth it. In other words, Westbrook may have to say goodbye to Jokic, and Westbrook is likely to have intended to go to the next home and even obtained some promises, and all of this is traceable. Turning back to 10 days ago, European media reported that the basketball giant Tel Aviv Hapur Club in Israel plans to offer Westbrook a high-paying contract that is unprecedented in European basketball history. A week ago, Westbrook himself updated his social media and posted a black and white back, and wrote: I am the force of nature, and have completed 17 seasons. Thank you for this continued journey. The 18th season is about to set off. In other words, Westbrook will continue to stay in the NBA and fight for his dreams, Why not?

Westbrook has been in his 17 years of career and has played for 6 teams in succession. From becoming famous at a young age when Thunder, to becoming a superstar, to being displaced and questioned after leaving Thunder, Westbrook is not afraid of time or wind, and is always a young man. Westbrook, who is over 36 years old, dares to jump out of the player option. The key is that he is absolutely confident in his strength and is also successful in his transformation as a substitute, which also makes his NBA career wider and wider. This season, Westbrook played 75 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points + 4.9 rebounds + 6.1 assists + 1.4 steals per game; in 13 games in the playoffs, Westbrook averaged 11.7 points + 3.7 rebounds + 2.6 assists per game. In the words of fans, Westbrook's basic salary is so delicious. Even if he is not short of money, he is definitely worthy of having a more decent pension contract.

For Westbrook, the option to reject players is simple, but it is very particular about where to go next. Westbrook is not short of money, but the championship is short of the championship. Teams that compete for the championship will be his number one choice, such as the Warriors and the Thunder. They all need a transmission like Westbrook that has a superstar aura on their bench. At the same time, Westbrook's willingness to leave the Nuggets' comfort zone may mean that a team gave him a starting promise, such as the Mavericks, Irving will miss the first half of the new season due to injury, and they need a perpetual motion machine like Westbrook, and Westbrook can also transform into a substitute after Irving returns. In short, Westbrook's fighting spirit is an art that is about to be lost. His NBA career is getting wider and wider. I wish him a good belonging. Fans, where do you think Westbrook’s next stop is the most suitable one? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
