At 37! Farewell, Westbrook! Another Western Conference team has decided to give up.

Famous reporter Fischer:The Kings do not want unrestricted free agent Westbrook to return...

Last season, Westbrook had a one-year veteran minimum contract of $3.63 million. He played in 64 regular-season games, starting 58, averaging 29 minutes per game with 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.3 steals, shooting 42.7%, 33.8%, and 69.4%. It can be said that the value for money was excellent, but the problem is that the Kings, who are in a rebuilding phase, do not need a 37-year-old player.

Westbrook was born on November 12, 1988, stands 1.93m tall with a 2.03m wingspan, and was the fourth overall pick in the first round of the 2008 draft.

This guy has had an NBA career spanning 18 years, during which his personal achievements include MVP, All-NBA selections, scoring champion, assist champion, All-Star, Olympic gold medal, and being named one of the 75 greatest players. The only thing missing is a championship ring to complete his legacy.

Back to the topic, according to current sources, the teams interested in signing Westbrook this summer are the Heat, Timberwolves, and Wizards. As mentioned above, joining the Heat with Giannis Antetokounmpo would be ideal, giving him another chance to compete for a championship.

It is worth noting that recently, New York Post reporter Stefan Bondy reported:If LeBron James ultimately chooses to return to the Heat, then Westbrook will not bring his talents to Miami.

Westbrook and LeBron James had previously collaborated during their time with the Lakers, but the results fell far short of expectations. They parted ways after just one and a half seasons, with Westbrook being traded by the Lakers in the middle of the 2022-23 season.

If the Heat doesn't work out, returning to the Wizards, who boast a talented roster including Trae Young, AJ Dybantsa, Anthony Davis, and Deandre Ayton, is also a good option. During the 2020-21 season with the Wizards, Westbrook averaged 22.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 11.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in the regular season, and 19 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 11.8 assists in the playoffs. That was his last peak.

In short, Westbrook needs to find a job as soon as possible; otherwise, the longer he delays, the fewer NBA teams will want him, and he may inevitably face an unceremonious exit.
