From maximum salary to minimum salary! Now that Thunder has politely refused, Westbrook s retreat is gone, and the king becomes the only straw

The offseason is almost over, but Westbrook is still not signed. There were rumors that Westbrook would sign the King 80%, but this is not very stable. Forbes reporter Evan Sidery reported that the King does want Westbrook very much, but only if they want to get Kuminga. Kumingga did not reach a deal in one day, Westbrook had to keep waiting. Basically, the king has become Westbrook's last straw. If the king fails to get Kumingga in the end, Westbrook will be lingering.

The most important thing is that Westbrook's retreat to the Thunder was also cut off. "Sports Illustrated" Thunder reporter Rylan Stiles revealed today that it would be difficult for Westbrook to return to the Thunder, and it seems to be an unlikely operation at the moment. Rylan Stiles believes that Westbrook is indeed a team soul to the Thunder, and they also like what Westbrook brings to this city. But it’s different to being together. He is currently out of place with Thunder.

Rylan Stiles said: "I think it's difficult for Westbrook to return to the Thunder, and his return is almost impossible. I emphasize that we already have a complete 15-man guaranteed lineup, so we don't have a place for Westbrook. Even if there is, I don't think the Thunder would want to get Westbrook. His philosophy and style of play are incompatible with the existing teams. I like Westbrook's athletic ability and aggressive style of play. I also think Westbrook is a team soul to the Thunder. His legendary status in Oklahoma City will last forever, but it's limited to that."

Before, many people said that Westbrook really doesn't work and returns to the Thunder, and a basic salary is fine. The problem is that the Thunder has not considered Westbrook at the basic salary. Rylan Stiles' final meaning is that he is more willing to see Westbrook go to other teams, because the league is more interesting, and he doesn't want to see Westbrook who cannot play. Last season, Westbrook played 75 regular season games with the Nuggets, starting 36 games, averaging 28 minutes per game, scoring 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists, with a shooting percentage of 45%, and 32% of three-pointers.

Unfortunately, Westbrook was not satisfied with his shooting percentage, and his various data also dropped a lot. The most eye-catching performance was against the Clippers in the first round. Westbrook's hit rate, personal data, and ability to save the field at critical moments were indeed completely played out. It can be said that Westbrook performed very well in his seven games against the Clippers. But in the 7 games against the Thunder, Westbrook really played himself out of the Nuggets lineup.

Because the Nuggets were too fast in this offseason, after Westbrook jumped out of the second year's player option, the Nuggets immediately exchanged Porter Jr. for the Nets' Johnson, and then signed back to LeBron. It directly blocked Westbrook's return route, and the Nuggets reporter even said that they no longer needed Westbrook. We don’t know where Westbrook will go. If he joins the Kings, will he be compatible with the young people in the team? The most important thing is that the king is also on the verge of disintegration. The combination of DeRozan and Laven failed, and Fox, who had been trained for many years, was sent away, and the young man Keegan Murray was quite mediocre. The Kings are now facing the dilemma of the team having no cornerstones. Westbrook's goal is to compete for the championship. Only by winning a championship can Westbrook's historical triple-double status and MVP be doubled. But joining the Kings may be another championship-free journey. Teams that compete for the championship do not need Westbrook, and Westbrook joins the weak team and cannot compete for the championship. This is a dilemma.
