Recently, all NBA teams are recruiting and will achieve their due results next season, especially those popular champions and teams frequently take action in the free market. Many veteran players have also returned to their old clubs to play their remaining energy. After obtaining Harden's consent, Paul, a 40-year-old veteran, also returned to the Clippers at the peak of his life. Paul, Greece and Jordan Jr. formed the famous all-round city. The Clippers, who were suppressed by the Lakers for a lifetime, finally turned over at that time. Unfortunately, they never touched the floor of the finals. After several teams and multiple stars, they still couldn't win the championship. Paul, who had the idea of retirement, was eventually moved by the Clippers. Both sides also fought for another year with a veteran's basic salary contract. Moreover, the team players respected Paul very much, and Bill even gave up the No. 3 jersey.

In addition, Lillard, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, returned to his old club, the Trail Blazers after being bought out by the Bucks. The general manager and head coach also stood up for him on the day of the players' meeting. The conflict between De and the team can be said to have a smile to eliminate grudges, and after untiing the knot, he will come back again. He even joked that he would not let him do nothing, and would make him the most expensive assistant coach in NBA history. Even Bill joined the Clippers after being bought out by the Suns. Horford, who is also a veteran, has long made a verbal promise with the Warriors. Westbrook is the only famous veteran in the free market.

The fans are almost as anxious as Westbrook. The MVP winner who once averaged odd and even games has now fallen to the point where no one cares. Westbrook averaged 13+5+5 per game in the Nuggets last season, and his salary was only a few million yuan a year, which is a very cost-effective deal. Unfortunately, a team gave him a contract, and the old club Thunder couldn't say anything. Their lineup has won the championship, and how to arrange playing time and team status after signing Westbrook has become a problem. What’s important is the fear that Westbrook’s excitement will destroy the team’s original chemistry.

Westbrook's problem is that he is too passionate. When he was young, he could still win by relying on his body and passion. Now at such an old age, he still has only passion. Perhaps what he is waiting for is the CBA League.
