The Thunder refused! The Rockets don t want it now. The NBA s most helpless super giant, and the parent team can t even go back

The new NBA season is coming, but Westbrook's next stop is still not confirmed. The future of this former MVP and the historical triple-double king is full of uncertainty. The current situation is not optimistic for Westbrook. Previously, the Sacramento Kings had been rumored to be interested in Westbrook, but according to Kings reporters, the team's interest is to get Westbrook and the Warriors' Kumingga, and the two need to be "bundled" to trade. However, over time, the king seemed to have gradually faded his pursuit of Westbrook. Other teams have little interest in the 35-year-old veteran, and Westbrook's career seems to have reached an awkward crossroads.

It can be said that strong teams do not want them, and weak teams do not need them. Someone has imagined whether Westbrook can return to the Rockets? Whether he can reconnect with his old teammate Rand, some fans have proposed the idea of ​​"feeling gameplay", similar to the "Light Bulb Combination 2.0 Basketball" tried by the Clippers. Rockets reporter Bradeaux shared a composite photo of Durant and Westbrook on social media, responding to the topic.

He admitted that although fans can reproduce the "king combination" of the fantasy Thunder in the game "NBA 2K", the Rockets are absolutely impossible for them to sign Westbrook back in reality. Bradeaux highly praised Westbrook's career achievements, calling him MVP and a triple-double king in history, and his career is great.

However, Bradeaux also pointed out bluntly that Westbrook's style of play does not match the Rockets' current lineup. Bradeaux analyzed that Westbrook's current style of play has obvious shortcomings: his shooting efficiency is low and his average turnover is as high as 3.2 times. If he joins the Rockets last season, he will become the "turnover king" in the team. In addition, Westbrook's 35-year-old age and his consistent radical game style also discouraged the Rockets from him.

Looking back on the 2019 offseason, the Rockets exchanged Westbrook from the Thunder for Westbrook at the cost of Paul plus two first-round picks and two draft picks, but the team's chemical reaction was imbalanced.

The combination of Harden and Westbrook is far inferior to Harden and Paul. The scene where Westbrook was shorted by the Lakers in the playoffs has become a pain point in Rockets fans. The Rockets then sent Westbrook to the Wizards in exchange for Wall and a protected first-round pick, which was eventually used to trade Shin Kyung. This history makes the Rockets cautious about Westbrook's return, and it can even be said that "the shadow remains." After that, Westbrook failed even more with the Lakers, and in the Clippers and Nuggets, they can only be said to be fairly good. What is even more sad is that even Westbrook's parent team Thunder clearly stated that he would not welcome his return. "Sports Illustrated" Thunder reporter Rylan Stiles bluntly stated in an interview that the probability of Westbrook returning to the Thunder is "almost zero".

Rylan Stiles has similar views to Rockets reporters, both of whom highly praised Westbrook's achievements and called him a superstar. His historical status is undisputed, but the Thunder's existing young lineup is incompatible with Westbrook's playing style. The Thunder now takes Alexander as the core, supplemented by a fast and team-based style, and Westbrook's high mistakes and strong impact style is obviously difficult to integrate. Westbrook's performance against the Clippers in the first round last season also became the focus of discussion. A Clippers reporter once mentioned that Westbrook made multiple key shots in the first round of the playoffs against the Clippers, including a life-saving three-pointer, showing the veteran's resilience.

However, although the Clippers reporters approve of Westbrook's ability, there is no sign that the Clippers intend to sign him back. Instead, the Clippers chose Paul 40. Moreover, Paul joined with a basic salary, and with his rich experience and excellent organizational skills, he became a better choice for the team. Westbrook, by contrast, seems far less popular in the league than Paul. According to statistics, Paul brought the Spurs' high-end data worth up to $20 million last season, while Westbrook's signing prospects are becoming increasingly unclear. From Westbrook's perspective, his situation is indeed difficult. The

The Thunder clearly refused, the Kings' interest gradually cooled down, and other teams rarely paid attention to it. The Clippers reporter's "killing and heart-killing" evaluation - praising Westbrook's key performance but unintentionally signing him back - further highlights Westbrook's embarrassing position in the league. By contrast, even at the age of 40, Paul can still obtain a basic salary contract with experience and leadership, and may even have a market under higher salaries. This makes people wonder whether Westbrook's career is heading for the end? Many journalists and American media predict that Westbrook's signing may be delayed until the start of the new season, and it is even possible that no one is concerned about it. His playing style seems out of place in today's NBA, which emphasizes space and efficiency. Unstable shooting, frequent mistakes and older age make the team extremely cautious when considering signing him.
