The rising American Ary: Full free agent Westbrook is expected to join the Kings.

If the news is true, although it is very regrettable that Westbrook failed to bring his talent to a championship team, it at least ensures that he can start his 18th season in the NBA without "wandering" the overseas league.

Last season, Westbrook wore a Nuggets and held a basic salary contract to join forces with his good friend Jokic. He started 36 times in 75 games in the regular season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 breaks; he played in 13 games in the playoffs, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He refused to execute the player option and left Denver not long ago.

It is worth mentioning that Westbrook vs. S. teams are both their old clubs, namely the Clippers and the Thunder, and they both played for 7 games, and the Nuggets stopped in the second round.

If nothing unexpected happens, Westbrook's role as a substitute in the Kings, and he cannot even serve as the super sixth man like the Nuggets, because before that, the team had signed Schroder for three years and $45 million, unless the latter starts in the new season.

Speaking of which, Schroeder is indeed very likely to be the Kings starting point guard in the 25-26 season. After Fox was traded to the Spurs last season, the team's starting point guard was Ellis. This guy averaged only 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to stand up for the heavy responsibility of backcourt organization. The former is better than him.

Last season, the Kings ranked 9th in the Western Conference with 40 wins and 42 losses, losing to the Mavericks 106-120 in the playoffs, thus missing the playoffs.

In fact, the Kings' lineup is quite good. The main players include Laven, DeRozan, Sabonis, Monk, Schroder and Westbrook (to be reported or officially announced by Shams). Unfortunately, they are in the wild West with many powerful people. They are likely to face the fate of missing the top six in the new season, and they can only continue to try to stand out in the playoffs and enter the playoffs.

Speaking of which, the king still had a strong interest in getting Kumingga from the warriors, and the two sides had met. However, the 22-year-old Kumingga came to the king, and DeRozan, who was about to be 36, had to carry the bucket and run away.
