Westbrook signed with the Kings and will form an "All-Star backcourt" with LaVine and DeRozan

Finally, Westbrook has found a new home in the new season.

According to NBA "revealer" Shams Charania, Westbrook has reached an agreement with the Kings and will start his 18th season in Sacramento. This will also be the 8th team he has played for in his career (including the Utah Jazz).

The 37-year-old Westbrook played for the Denver Nuggets last season. With Jokic and Murray beside him, he finally played the most commendable season in recent years.

played 75 games and contributed 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 27.9 minutes, contributing to the team's regular season.

But in the offseason, just when people thought he would exercise his $3.47 million player option, he unexpectedly chose to jump out of the contract and become a free agent.

Since then, no team has offered him an olive branch, whether it is the Thunder, his old club, the Rockets with VanVleet injured, or the Golden State Warriors.

The Kings are one of the few teams that has been pursuing him, but they have temporarily shelved his joining because they have been discussing the Kuminga trade with the Warriors. Now that Kuminga has confirmed to stay on the team, the Kings have also accelerated the introduction of the 16-17 regular season MVP, and finally reached an agreement today.

In the new season, the Kings have the ability to field a "four All-Star" lineup of Westbrook - LaVine - DeRozan - Keegan Murray - Sabonis Jr., regardless of the competitiveness in the Western Conference, but at least the popularity and traffic are full.

It has not yet been determined whether the Kings have promised Westbrook the main position in the new season. After all, the team currently has new European Cup-World Cup double champion defenders Schroeder and Malik Monk, as well as the selected rookies Ellis and Devin Carter.

It is still unclear whether the 37-year-old Westbrook can "be himself" with his new club.

But at least a stone can be dropped in the hearts of fans. Such a former mvp with a very distinctive personality and even a comedic color will stay in the nba at least next season.
