The Sacramento Kings are not expected to sign Westbrook unless they can make a spot by trading a defender.

This is what a famous American media reporter said in a recent interview. According to some sources, if the Kings are sure that they cannot get Kuminga, the possibility of their signing Westbrook will increase, and another condition is required, that is, unless they can trade a defender and make a place in the rotation lineup, they probably won't take this action.

Currently, most media people believe that Devin Carter is more likely to be sent away as a bargaining chip than Monk, thus making room for signing Russell Westbrook.

Since the opening of the free market, there are not many stars left on the market, including Westbrook, Simmons, Gidey, etc., and there are only more than a month left before the start of the new season. According to the current situation, Westbrook and Simmons may still be free agents at the beginning of the training camp. The difference between the two is that Simmons had previously revealed signs of retirement.

Yesterday, the US media gave Westbrook's next odds prediction, among which the Kings are still the most likely, -140, the second possibility is the Mavericks, with an odds of +250, and the Warriors ranked third with an odds of +350. The most bizarre one here is the fourth place, the CBA Xinjiang team.

According to data, Westbrook's odds for joining Xinjiang team are +1,000, but later some Chinese media people came out to defy the rumors that Westbrook's chances of joining Xinjiang are extremely low, and there is no contact between the two.

It is reported that Westbrook and Simmons both require salary to be higher than the basic salary, and the salary expert analyzed: Why choose young people who can spend less money to find similar to them? Everyone will grow old slowly, and Simmons has some major flaws that can never be changed. So, why not give other young people a chance?
