Won’t come to China to play? It was revealed that Westbrook and King have a strong intention to cooperate! It is expected to reach a signing before the opening game

NBA history triple-double king Russell Westbrook may come to the Chinese Professional League to play in the new season. This can be said to be the most talked about and hottest topic among domestic basketball fans in recent days.

There is no doubt that if Westbrook really wants to come to China to play in the CBA, the traffic will definitely be full! At the same time, this will also be a great blessing for domestic fans. Just imagine, wouldn't it be great if you could really enjoy the performance of this future Hall of Fame star at your doorstep!

According to previous reports by Kings reporter Carmichael Dave, unrestricted free agent guard Russell Westbrook may have received an offer from a Chinese team.

Carmichael Dave revealed on the show that he heard from someone he trusted enough that Russell Westbrook may have received a contract from China for about half a season, which is almost four times the package that the Sacramento Kings can provide.

It is reported that if Westbrook gets a basic salary contract in the NBA, his annual salary will be US$3.63 million. This means that the contract offer provided by the Chinese team for Westbrook is approximately US$14 million. It can be seen that the Chinese team is really willing to spend a lot of money in order to attract Westbrook to join!

But just when everyone was looking forward to seeing Venus Westbrook playing in the Chinese professional arena in the new season, bad news came!

Recently, ESPN reporter Shams said on the show: There is a strong two-way cooperation intention between Russell Westbrook and the Sacramento Kings. The Kings bench performance was weak last season, with scores and assists at the bottom of the league. Westbrook, who averaged 13 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds per game last season, is exactly the backup point guard solution the Kings need.

There are multiple intersections between Russell Westbrook and the Sacramento Kings management, and the league is paying close attention to whether this signing will be reached before the start of the new season.

As we all know, it has long been an open secret in the league that the Kings want to sign Westbrook, and the biggest obstacle hindering their signing is the salary issue. According to a report by Kings team reporter Carmichael Dave, if the salary issue can be resolved, the possibility of Westbrook joining the Kings this year is as high as 70%. If the NBA signing fails, he also holds a generous offer from a Chinese team.

All in all, Westbrook should have no worries about not having the ball to play with now, and his career will never end quietly like this!

It can be seen that there is a high probability that Westbrook will stay in the NBA in the new season. Although it is not 100% safe to say that he will reach a contract with the Kings, the probability of this happening is as high as 70%. The remaining 30% possibilities are actually considering joining a Chinese team! And given that Westbrook and the Kings have strong two-way cooperation intentions, it is highly unlikely that he will come to China to play.

Although Westbrook not coming to China to play will make countless domestic fans feel disappointed and even frustrated, we still sincerely hope that he can eventually sign a contract with the Kings. Because Venus Westbrook should have belonged to the NBA, he still has gas in the tank, and he is fully capable of becoming a qualified NBA substitute player!

Maybe we will say that Westbrook will get a lot less money if he stays in the NBA? Obviously, making money is no longer Westbrook's first purpose of playing basketball. What he wants most now is to be able to enjoy basketball happily.

By the way, are you optimistic about Westbrook and the Kings reaching a cooperation? If it can happen, can the signing be completed as soon as possible before the opening game of the new season? We might as well wait and see!
