1 year, 3.6 million US dollars! Westbrook joins the Kings for the 18th season, teaming up with Lavin DeRozan and Sasha

On October 16, Westbrook was finally "re-employed." According to ESPN reporter Shams, Westbrook has agreed to join the Kings, and the two parties will sign a one-year veteran's minimum salary contract of US$3.6 million. After being "unemployed" for more than four months, Westbrook finally finalized his new club. In the new season, he will join forces with LaVine, DeRozan and Sabonis to help the Kings fight for the playoffs.

For Westbrook, who is about to turn 37, he chose to give up the remaining one-year player option of $3.47 million with the Nuggets in June this year, which has been criticized by the outside world as extremely unwise. In fact, when the Nuggets fired coach Malone and general manager at the end of the regular season last season, it was revealed that Westbrook was one of the conflicts between Malone and the general manager, and it is not difficult to understand why Westbrook left.

It's just that Westbrook has been idle at home and failed to get a contract from an NBA team. There are even rumors of an affair with a CBA team, although it sounds extremely unreliable.

Now that Westbrook has finally finalized his new club, he has agreed to join the Kings. In fact, the Kings are the team most interested in Westbrook this summer. However, because the Kings were previously involved in the pursuit of Kuminga, they were unable to easily sign Westbrook. After all, there is still the possibility of lineup changes.

As for now, the Kings have finalized the signing of Westbrook, which also allows Westbrook to continue playing in the NBA. In fact, Westbrook chose to sign with the Nuggets with a minimum salary last season. In 75 regular season games played for the Nuggets, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.9 minutes per game. As for the playoffs, Westbrook averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

Westbrook still has good combat effectiveness. In the new season, he will team up with LaVine, DeRozan and Sabonis. He will compete with Schroeder for the starting position. Whether he can help the Kings enter the playoffs is exciting.
