It's over, the deal is off! Goodbye Westbrook! He might be exiting the NBA for good.

It's done, the farce has finally come to an end.

Kuminga rejoined the Warriors on a two-year, $48.5 million contract that includes a team option and the waiver of his trade veto rights.

Therefore, once the trade freeze ends in mid-January next year, he will be eligible to be placed on the trade market again.

Last season, Kuminga appeared in 47 games for the Warriors, starting 10 times, averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game; in the playoffs, he averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.

Undoubtedly, due to Butler's presence, Kuminga will serve as a bench player for the Warriors this new season, but his time on the team likely won't be long, as he could be traded as early as January next year.

The Warriors' 15-man roster is now full, as follows:

Curry, Butler, Draymond Green, Hield, Kuminga, Melton, Horford, Pojemski, Moody, Payton II, TJD, Poole, Santos, Richards, and Curry Jr.

Yes,Seth Curry, Steph Curry’s younger brother, has also joined the Warriors. He is expected to first sign an Exhibit 9 contract, then be waived before the season starts to create salary cap space, and finally re-signed with a standard contract.

In his NBA career so far, Curry Jr. has averaged 10 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game in the regular season, shooting 43.3% from the field and making 1.7 three-pointers per game; in the playoffs, he averages 11.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, hitting 2.1 threes per game at a 46.8% clip.

Clearly, the younger brother possesses an extraordinary shooting ability just like his older sibling, and his arrival will significantly enhance the Warriors' perimeter threat.

Back to the main point, with Kuminga re-signing with the Warriors, Westbrook might really be saying goodbye to the NBA.

According to reporter Stein,the Kings were the only team interested in signing Westbrook this summer, provided they could clear cap space through a trade.

Previously, the Kings tried to trade Monk plus a 30-year lottery-protected first-round pick in a sign-and-trade deal to acquire Kuminga from the Warriors, but it ultimately failed.

Since he hasn't signed with any team, Westbrook did not appear at any media day for the new season, marking the first time in his career he has missed an NBA training camp.

Statistics show Westbrook is just 505 points shy of becoming the all-time leading scorer among point guards; given a full season, he could definitely reach that milestone.

However, given the current situation, he may have to face the disappointment of missing out.

Last season, Westbrook played for the Nuggets, appearing in 75 regular season games with 36 starts, averaging 27.9 minutes, 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, helping the team finish fourth in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record; in the playoffs, he averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, battling the Clippers for seven games in the first round and then pushing the reigning champions Thunder to seven games in the second round before being eliminated.

This summer, it was expected Westbrook would exercise his $3.47 million player option for the 25-26 season to stay with the Nuggets and continue competing alongside Jokic, but surprisingly he declined and has since remained unsigned in free agency. He may now have to either move overseas to continue his career or announce his retirement.

No one denies that Westbrook still has some fuel left in the tank, but at age 36, his value is inevitably lower, especially since the league has many younger, more effective players who can replace him. This is a common challenge many aging stars face near the end of their careers. Good luck to him.
