They are interested in each other, and Westbrook is revealed to have joined the Kings! The US media "fadeawayworld" also showed off three other candidates, among which the Thunder team returned to their old club, won the championship with a strong victory.

80% go to the Kings

According to Carmichael Dave, host of Sacramento radio station Sactown Sports 1140, on the show, Westbrook and the Kings are interested in each other, and the two sides have an 80% chance of joining forces.

"This contract has not been completed, but it has been brewing for a long time. Both sides are interested in joining forces. I think it is 80% possible. Westbrook will eventually become a member of the Kings." Sactown Sports forwarded Westbrook's first report on the odds of the Kings and commented.

The Kings need to adjust the list

The Kings' team reporter Matt George later confirmed the authenticity of the news, pointing out that at the beginning of the free market, the Kings and Westbrook were interested in each other and had been in contact with each other.

But before signing Westbrook, the Kings were also facing the problem of layoffs and making room for free. After signing McDermott with 3.6 million yuan a year (not officially announced yet), the Kings already had 15 formal contracts.

Therefore, according to the league regulations, if the Kings want to sign Westbrook, they must first lay off a player before that.

Matt George said everything doesn't seem easy, and the Kings are likely to trade players like Devin Carter or Malik Monk to finally complete Westbrook's signing.

The US media shows the other three next players

Due to Westbrook's current star level and role, and the Kings' backcourt is already crowded, they signed Schroder this summer, who is expected to lock in the starting point guard role.

The Kings also need to make room for signing Westbrook through a trade, so the US media "fadeawayworld" showed off three more suitable next choices.

Champions

After leaving the Lakers, Westbrook regained his confidence and fun in the game, and even began to accept the role of substitute during this period.

If Westbrook is still willing to accept a basic salary contract, the Clippers and Westbrook have a chance to join forces again. After locking in Harden + small card dual cores, the former is determined to strive for the championship in the next two seasons.

However, the Clippers have signed Paul in the free market during the offseason, and the original core Harden can provide Westbrook with limited roles and ball rights.

Choose 2: Heat

If Westbrook does not put the championship first, but rather wants to find a team that really needs itself and is willing to provide more ball rights, then the Heat will be a better choice.

Compared with the Clippers and Kings, the Heat lacked staff in the backcourt, and Westbrook will have a lot of opportunities to show himself.

In addition, the Heat's team culture is also perfectly in line with Westbrook's characteristics. Coupled with Coach Spoel's top coaching and developing players, Westbrook has the hope of finding a more suitable role positioning in the Heat.

Choose one: The Thunder team

There is no doubt that the top position belongs to the Thunder. As Westbrook's old club, the Thunder is the defending champion and will provide Westbrook with the best chance to compete for the championship.

From the perspective of sentiment, Westbrook's return to Thunder will also be a choice for traffic and topicality, which means that this veteran chose to "return to the roots of fallen leaves".

Considering that Westbrook's next market has been poor since the offseason, he has never been able to take into account both the ball, salary and championship. If he can't find a perfect next home, and the Thunder are willing to welcome this meritorious veteran at the end of his career, the two sides will join forces again, which will be what all fans are most willing to see.
