Embarrassing! Average of 13+4+6 per game but no one cares about it! He really shouldn t have rejected the player option

If we want to select the most embarrassing free agent this summer, Russell Westbrook, the NBA history triple-double king, will definitely rank at the top, and it can even be said that he will win the championship! Because he didn't have to do this, and he even had the hope of realizing his career championship dream next season, but Westbrook chose to interrupt his cooperation with Denver in advance and jumped out of his contract this summer and became a complete free agent. So, we now see the Big Westbrook who is unwilling to be in the free market! Last summer, Russell Westbrook and the Denver Nuggets signed a two-year contract worth $6.77 million, with the second year of the contract being a player option worth $3.47 million. In this way, Westbrook has obtained the absolute right to decide where he will play next season this summer! Should I keep the Nuggets to continue to assist Jokic in the championship, or should I refuse to test the waters of the free market and start a new chapter in my career?

In the end, Westbrook made a mistake that was most likely a big failure in his career because he chose to refuse to implement the $3.47 million player option next season. Westbrook, who jumped out of the contract to test the waters of the free market, naturally ended his cooperation with the Nuggets in advance. In the 2024-25 season, Westbrook played 75 regular season games for the Denver Nuggets, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, contributing 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 breaks and 0.5 shots, shooting percentage of 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 32.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.1%.

13 playoff games, averaged 24.1 minutes per game, scored 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.1 blocks, shooting percentage of 39.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 31.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 70%.

Frankly speaking, judging by Westbrook's comprehensive performance averaged 13+4+6+1 last season, his test of the free market should be sought after by league teams! After all, you only need to spend a little money to attract this triple-double king of history to his command. But reality slapped Westbrook loudly because, except for previous reports that the Sacramento Kings were interested in him, no other team in the league expressed interest in him.

In this way, this means that if you fail to join the Kings in the end, then this historical triple-double king may face no ball in the new season.

According to famous reporter Sam Amico, league sources said they would not be surprised if Russell Westbrook had not signed the contract at the beginning of the season. According to well-known journalist Andy Bailey, the Sacramento Kings, the Miami Heat, the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks are considered Westbrook's potential next home.

Little do you know that there are almost no teams in the league that are seriously considering signing Westbrook! There is no doubt that Westbrook's unattended state will continue, and may end before the start of the new season, and may run throughout the entire 2025-26 season!

Just imagine, if Westbrook chose to execute the player option this summer, how could he be embarrassed now? What's even worse is that leaving the Nuggets may make him miss his last chance to win the championship in his career. Because after the Nuggets strengthened this summer, they have now become the super favorite team to win the championship in the new season.

Unfortunately, Westbrook is no longer in the Nuggets, and he will even face the embarrassment of no ball to play in the new season. There is no doubt that Westbrook shouldn't have refused to implement the player option worth $3.47 million next season, I regret it!
