The real reason why Westbrook left the Nuggets! The latter plans to abandon him throughout the year and may have received a huge contract from the Chinese team

On October 10, will the 36-year-old Westbrook really miss the opportunity to return to the NBA? King reporters reported that Westbrook may have received a huge contract from a Chinese team; in addition, former NBA player Danny Green broke the news that if the player option is not rejected, the Nuggets will directly abandon him in the new season.

During this offseason, Westbrook refused to exercise the player option worth US$3.47 million in the final year with the Nuggets. He has been unemployed since becoming a free agent. Currently, there are still 12 days before the start of the new season, and Westbrook has not signed with any team.

Kings reporter Carmichael Dave revealed that Westbrook may have received an offer from a Chinese team; the reporter said on the show: I heard some news from a person I trust enough that Westbrook may have received a contract from China for about half a season. The treatment of this contract is almost four times that of what the Kings can provide.

US reporters once reported that the Kings and Rockets are interested in Westbrook, but this is just a rumor; regarding rumors that Westbrook may join the Rockets, Durant once said: Westbrook is a legend. I think he should continue to stay in the NBA, and I think he should leave the NBA according to his own wishes.

Why did Westbrook choose to jump out of the contract? Former NBA player Danny Green revealed on the show that the reason why Westbrook decided to reject the player option was that the Nuggets did not intend to let him enter the rotation, but were prepared to let him sit at the end of the bench for a long time; sources said: As far as I know, they (Nuggets) have no intention of letting him play this year, and even want to rank him behind some players who should be below him.

Last season, Westbrook played 75 games for the Nuggets (36 starts), averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.9 minutes per game, shooting 44.9% from the field and 32.3% from the three-point range.

Westbrook's strengths and weaknesses on the court are very obvious. He is full of impact but easy to get distracted, and his shooting stability is too poor. Can he return to the NBA? We can only wait and see.
