Promote Westbrook s annual salary of 50 million? The manager of a wealthy European family officially refuted the rumors: I have no interest or contact with him

On June 17, Israel's Tel Aviv Shaples general manager George Hinars denied rumors about Westbrook, calling it "100% fake news" and also talked about ongoing negotiations with former European basketball league MVP Misic.

Tel Aviv Sharp made headlines last offseason for introducing some big names in European basketball, signing players such as Beverly. Driven by huge investment, Sharp achieved their main goal: to win the European Basketball Cup. Now, the club is setting its sights on the European Basketball League and is preparing to start another ambitious offseason with high-profile signings.

As the club attracts a lot of attention, it is no surprise that the speculation and misinformation follow. Among them, the more sensational rumors say that NBA star Westbrook is close to signing with Tel Aviv Sharp, with a contract worth more than $50 million - an unprecedented number in European basketball. Shinas talked about Westbrook in an interview with Basketball Sphere, saying it was completely unfounded.

"That's 100% fake news," Shinas said. "Someone mentioned the number - $50 million a year - it's crazy." "I know Tel Aviv Sharp attracted attention because of spending money. I counted it and there were 37 players connected to us," he noted. "Fortunately, we have three squads, because when you have 37 players, things get easier."

"Seriously, it's not true. We have no interest and no one has ever touched him," confirmed the general manager.

At the same time, there are also some more well-founded rumors, including rumors involving former European basketball league MVP and current Suns guard Misic. The player himself also confirmed the interest of Sharp in him. Shinas confirmed that the club is still in touch with Misic and negotiations are underway.

"He (Misic) is a great player, a legend of the European basketball league, and one of the best players of all time," said Shinas. "We talked to him in late March and early April. We didn't reach an agreement at the time, but we kept in touch with him and his agent."

According to previous reports, Westbrook plans to refuse to execute the 3.46 million player option to become a free agent. Judging from the odds, the Heat is Westbrook's number one hottest next player.
