Break out of the contract to join the Israeli League? Westbrook denied the rumor!

As we all know, Westbrook is no longer good now. He is no longer a superstar, or even a first-tier star.

Now Westbrook is just an ordinary rotation player, with an annual salary of more than 3 million US dollars and is subject to the public opinion requirements of the starting level. Even so, Westbrook is worthy of the salary he earns and the Nuggets. During the playoffs, he continued to play with two hand fractures and multiple ligament injuries.

' attitude is commendable, but the popularity is obviously polarized. Some people think that his sword is not old, while others think that he hurts the team much more than it helps the team.

This season, Westbrook played 75 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game; he played in 13 playoffs, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

In recent seasons, Westbrook has been to many teams, but has not left a good ending in each team. "Can Westbrook still play in the NBA?" Such questions are rampant.

A few days ago, Westbrook officially decided to break out of the contract and not implement the player option worth more than $3 million next season. After Westbrook became a complete free agent, the first team to have an affair with him was not an NBA team.

According to European basketball media Legion Hoops, sources revealed that Israel's Tel Aviv Hapur men's basketball team has had preliminary contact with Westbrook.

The media said, "This team that has won the European Cup is planning to provide Westbrook with a sky-high salary that is unprecedented in European basketball history." Tel Aviv Hapur men's basketball team just won the European Cup last season and is committed to strengthening the defending title.

Currently, the most expensive annual salary in European basketball are about 4 million US dollars. If Westbrook really wants a salary of this level, it will still earn more than in the NBA, and many of the annual salary in Europe are after tax.

Westbrook's current personal ability is worthy of a high salary, but his influence is definitely worthy.

So Westbrook is really going to try to switch to the European arena? Finally, today, everything has come to a conclusion.

According to the report of Mark Steine, a well-known NBA reporter, Westbrook only focuses on his NBA prospects in the free agent market and does not intend to consider anything else, no matter what rumors about overseas contracts are.

"After the free market opened, the possibility of Westbrook returning to the Nuggets still exists. His move to jump out of the contract has indeed brought some additional lineup flexibility to Denver this summer." Stein followed up with the report. George Shinas, general manager of Tel Aviv Hapur, Israeli basketball club Tel Aviv, also refuted the news that the team is interested in introducing Westbrook, saying that although there are many speculations and rumors in the team during the offseason, the focus is on more realistic and achievable goals.

"That's 100% fake news, someone mentioned the number, $50 million a year, which is crazy. This is not true, no one is interested in Westbrook, and no one is looking for him."

Overall, both sides don't like each other.

NBA players now go to Europe to play in the environment, and the environment is different from more than 10 years ago. Once a veteran like Westbrook leaves the NBA environment, it is almost impossible to come back. But if Westbrook continues to play in the NBA, his reputation will definitely get worse and worse. The former MVP continued to do work that was not very useful to the team, consuming the fans' past enthusiasm.

In this way, playing in the league outside the NBA is indeed a good choice for Westbrook. If you have to stay in the NBA, then I hope the Thunder will be the last stop of his career.
