Westbrook s three potential players are released, and the Lakers are on the list! Impact and ambition are the standard equipment for the championship

In the free market, there are two players who are focusing on, one is Simmons and the other is Westbrook. Although these two people are in a bit down, their status is still here. One is the talented No. 1 pick, and the other is the NBA history triple-double king, which obviously has certain value in the league. Now, Simmons and Westbrook have become grasshoppers tied to a rope. In the words of NBA reporter Jake Fischer, Simmons' whereabouts are delaying Westbrook's market trends. Where exactly is Westbrook going? Earlier, Westbrook's biggest next home was the Kings. The two sides had in-depth negotiations and were interested in each other. However, the King finally chose Schroeder in terms of strengthening the defender level, not Westbrook. They no longer become part of Westbrook's next family.

Now, Westbrook's next home is mainly locked in three teams, and the three teams are all his old clubs. The first one is the Lakers. The Lakers have just cleaned up their salary space and are ready to execute the next trade to further deepen the strength of the lineup. After introducing Smart, if the Lakers plan to send Reeves or Vincent away, then letting Westbrook return may be a good choice. Two years ago, Westbrook spent an unpleasant time with the Lakers. In fact, the main problem was that his contract was too big at that time, with an annual salary of US$47 million ranked second in the league. The data he produced was indeed difficult to match his salary. Now, Westbrook also accepts the reality of his ability decline and is willing to get a basic salary contract and starts with a substitute player.

In the words of Lakers blogger BronMuse, "If Westbrook returns to the Lakers with a veteran's basic salary, will you welcome it?" As the same sentence, Westbrook, with a basic salary, will be delicious no matter what. With the experience of cooperating with James, Westbrook will be more comfortable to enter the Palace Lakers in the second time and will quickly adapt to this team. In addition, Westbrook's second next choice is Thunder. After all, Thunder is Westbrook's first parent team. Only Westbrook's famous third young master at the time was the last. Before Alexander led the Thunder to win the championship this year, Westbrook was the first player in the Thunder team history, and now he probably has to give way to SGA. Of course, Westbrook is still the Thunder's team record holder, with his Thunder's career totaling 18,859 points, second in Gloves Payton.

US media ClutchPoints said: "Lillard returned to the Trail Blazers, Paul just returned to the Clippers, the league is turning back time, staged a story of going home, and now, there is only one chapter left. Everyone's eyes are focused on Oklahoma City. Russell Westbrook is still there. For Thunder fans, he has experienced climax, heartbreak and reconstruction. Westbrook is like a storm, leading the Thunder forward and paying for them. Everything came out. Vitality, loyalty and enthusiasm were synonymous with him, and the city also gave him infinite love. Now, with the rise of the Thunder, the timing seemed too perfect. The young core player was ready, the stage was set, and the audience was waiting. Take him home, and the last time to chase the championship. The last time seeks final victory. "

Westbrook's third next home was the Nuggets he played for last season, and this possibility is also the greatest. The Nuggets reporter Vinny Benedetto of the Denver Gazette reported that the Nuggets are likely to strive to work again with Westbrook, who was selected as the All-Star in his career, to fill the last vacant spot in the lineup. Murray's situation is not sure now. Pickett and Brown are the best substitutes to be found for Murray. If the team loses confidence in the role of these two as substitute point guards, then Westbrook's chances of returning to the Nuggets will be even greater. For a team that is determined to win the championship, Westbrook can still provide great help on the bench. This experienced organizational core is about to start his 18th season of his career.

Westbrook performed well in the Nuggets last season, playing in 75 games, and averaging 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Including in the playoffs, Westbrook's form was completely full against the Clippers in the first round, and he could score a basket of three-pointers who have always been weak. In that round of the series, the Clippers and Nuggets had to play the best substitute player. Without Westbrook, the Nuggets had almost been eliminated in the first round. Unfortunately, Westbrook did not continue his touch until the second round. In the second round, he averaged only 9.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in seven games, with a shooting percentage of only 34.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage as low as 21.9%. This has also become the reason why the Nuggets are hesitating whether to sign Westbrook again. I also hope that Westbrook can break his crownless curse wherever he goes and win the first championship in his career as soon as possible.
