Can’t even get a basic salary? The Kings only gave Westbrook an unguaranteed contract. If he doesn’t play well, he can be laid off at any time.

October 18th, so speechless and unacceptable! When Westbrook signed with the Kings, he only got a non-guaranteed contract. Compared with rookie Yang Hansen, it was embarrassing. It might even be better to retire directly.

Westbrook insisted on not retiring in order to stay in the league and sign a new contract to continue playing. The result was really unexpected. The Turtles did sign a contract with the Kings. But now when the contract he signed with the Kings was exposed, it is really sad. The former triple-double king superstar has been reduced to the point where he can't even sign a guaranteed contract.

It was originally reported that he signed a one-year base salary of 3.6 million with the Kings. Finally, someone wanted him. It was not easy. Everyone just wanted to see Westbrook play for a few more years. But now looking back, the Turtles didn't even sign a basic salary. A reporter quickly exposed that what Westbrook signed was actually an unguaranteed one-year contract, which means that if Westbrook doesn't play well, the King can kick him out.

For a top superstar who was once all-powerful in the league to sign this kind of contract, the Kings are really bullying people, and even want people to ask: "Westbrook, do we really have to play this ball?" Originally, a player who once had a maximum salary of almost 50 million is now getting 3.6 million, which is quite humiliating. What is even more humiliating is that the Turtles can't even get the 3.6 million, and there is no guarantee.

Taking a basic salary is already outrageous. Taking a non-guaranteed contract means that in the new season, the Kings can lay off Westbrook at any time as long as they want, without even paying any chips. The basic salary is not guaranteed, which is humiliating for a player of this level. It’s hard to imagine that if a team dared to offer Curry James such a contract at the end of his career, would they accept it? impossible.

The Nuggets offered him a guaranteed contract, but he didn’t want it. Without saying a word, he chose a non-guaranteed contract with the Kings. What was he thinking? The nature of this contract shows that the Kings don't care about you very much. If you are willing to come, they will give you a chance to try. If it doesn't work, they will cut you directly. Can a superstar endure this kind of suffering? Where is the dignity in this?

A former triple-double king has been turned into a temporary worker who can be laid off at any time. Westbrook is not short of money, and his net worth has reached 350 million US dollars. Is he short of this amount? Isn’t playing basketball now purely for love? Let me be honest, if he gives you this kind of contract, you might as well retire.

Master Wei is now the first person in the history of 203 triple-doubles. However, with this contract, the gap is so big. From the top salary to the lowest salary and being mixed into a temporary worker, this gap is simply the distance from Mount Everest to the bottom of the valley. And this contract is not even comparable to Yang Hansen. Young is a rookie, and his first contract reached 4 years and 21 million, but Westbrook can get this kind of contract. It is really disrespectful to him.

So why Westbrook accepted this contract? His decision is really a bit hard to understand, because the signal sent by the King's contract is that they don't care about him. It is simply giving you a spot to try, and if it doesn't work, it will be cut directly. It can only be said that Westbrook's contract may really be the most humiliating contract received by any superstar in NBA history. What if he is kicked off by the team in vain? It's really better to retire early, at least to save some face.
