Three people were signed in a row, and the Knicks were also fully staffed! Where will Westbrook go in the future?

There are still 40 days left before the start of the NBA season's regular season. Only the Warriors in the league have no operations this summer. However, according to Bay Area media, Kumingga may not really delay until October 1 to accept qualification quotations, which will harm others and be unfavorable to oneself, and there is no meaning. His team expects that after receiving the Warriors' qualification quotation within one week, the Warriors can quickly sign with Horford, Melton, Curry Jr., Payton Jr., and others who have reached verbal promises, and fill up the roster of at least 14 people to prepare for the new season. In the free market, some players cannot find their next player, such as Ben Simmons, who took the initiative to reject the Knicks' basic salary contract a few days ago. According to US media, Simmons seems to not want to play anymore (the basic salary can no longer support his attitude of pretending to love basketball).

Westbrook's situation is particularly embarrassing, and he practices hard. After jumping out of the Nuggets' option contract on June 13, it will be difficult for the entire league to have a place for three months! According to ESPN column reporters, if Westbrook can't find a job after the start of the new season, it won't be surprised. There are only a few teams in the league that are interested in him. Unless there are some injury problems, Westbrook is just a backup option. Of course, from Westbrook's perspective, like Simmons, he doesn't want to get only basic salary. Of course, he is not short of money, but he hopes to gain greater role space and court status, otherwise he can continue to stay in the Nuggets, but since Westbrook jumped out of the player option, he immediately played the full lineup and did not give Westbrook a room for turning back.

Start with a message. A week ago, US media listed the list of teams Westbrook may join in the new season, with the Kings ranked first, in addition to the Mavericks, Knicks, Warriors, and the CBA Xinjiang team. After the Knicks were embarrassed by Simmons, famous reporter Charania reported that Shamet returned to the Knicks with a base salary of 3.08 million yuan in one year. In addition, the Knicks also signed a training camp contract with former Rockets player Matthews, signing Brogdon with a minimum salary of 1 year. According to New York media, the Knicks' offseason operation has come to an end, Matthews and Shamet will compete for the same roster, and Brogdon is Brunson's substitute. It is also the last link of the Knicks' reinforcement in the new season, and it has completely closed the door to Westbrook!

The King's new general manager Scott Perry has always been obsessed with Westbrook, but the King's operation is too difficult. On the one hand, the King has always wanted to get Kumingga+ to clean up Munch, but the Warriors have closed the Kumingga negotiation window, and Munch's contract is also difficult to deal with. The most important thing is that Westbrook does not want to sign a basic salary. If the King wants to get Westbrook, he must at least cut or trade to make room for salary before he can sign Westbrook. As for the Mavericks, they only have the possibility of being interested in Westbrook in theory, because the team's lineup is full of 15 people, the team has a Thick Brow in the interior in the new season, and the super No. 1 pick Flag needs room for growth. A Westbrook who needs to hold the ball to play his offensive value is actually not helpful for improving the lineup.

So is there a chance to join the CBA? According to relevant sources in our media, this may be just a joke by the US media about Westbrook, because Westbrook's team may not have had any contact with the CBA. Moreover, most NBA players who come to the CBA either need money or continue their popularity to generate commercial value. Westbrook is not short of money and his family is in Los Angeles. He has no motivation to leave his hometown to play in the CBA. In the words of Clippers' reporter Eisnashari, I don't understand why Westbrook did not sign, but he did have a highlight last season. Average of 13.3 points, 5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He is one of the contributors to eliminate the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, but basically all teams have the attitude of: if you buy, I recommend it, I can't buy it.

We have discussed a lot about Westbrook's situation in the past three years, from the Lakers being labeled as a "clothes room cancer", to the inefficient playoff data of the Clippers, to the position conflict with Westbrook after Harden arrived, and Westbrook complained when he left, including the Nuggets' public criticism that the team did not maximize its value before the Nuggets publicly criticized, and in the Nuggets, the meritorious coach Malone was dismissed, and there were opposition and contradictions within the team. He was not the initiator, but his shortcomings magnified the contradictions. If he just doesn't have the shooting + ball-holding style, his assists and impact will still be useful; but the bad thing is that he makes too many mistakes, critical moments or some games, excessive operation, which makes people unable to understand. This kind of damage cannot offset his contribution to the team, even if it is the basic salary.

First of all, it is certain that Westbrook wants a contract with a minimum salary, and basically no team in the league can meet it; Westbrook wants to relax the conditions and wait for which team to suffer from injury, and he has the opportunity to return to the NBA as an alternative. Secondly, Westbrook wants no chance for the role space and team position. The experience of Lakers + Clippers + Nuggets proves that the elderly Westbrook is definitely no longer a puzzle for championships, even if he has a strong desire to win. If neither of these two points is possible, then what awaits him is retirement and gradually being eliminated by the current NBA development trend.
