What magic does Westbrook have? It s crazy to send away 17+ players per game for his king.

Season 24-25, Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 75 games he played for the Nuggets. Compared with the basic salary, this data is very valuable. However, no team in the free agent market has so far extended an olive branch to Westbrook.

Why is no team willing to sign Westbrook?

is still the season. When Westbrook was on the court, the team lost 0.6 points in a 10-game game, and the team averaged at least 10 minutes per game. When they were not on the court, the team won 8.6 points in a 10-game game, and the team won 8.6 points in a 10-game game, which was still the team ranked last.

In short, Westbrook's Nuggets lose and win when they are on the court. From the side, Westbrook's data at least at the same price are still gorgeous but still have a side effect on the team.

Based on this, strong teams such as the Thunder and the Cavaliers will not destroy the existing rotation. The top priority for the bottom of the fish like the Hornets and Jazz is to cultivate young players. It is normal that Westbrook has not yet had a home.

Speaking of this, something interesting is coming.

According to the NBA China official website, the Kings tried very hard to send Monk away to free up the spot to sign Westbrook. What is the significance of the king chasing Westbrook?

First, Sabonis Jr. is the starting center, Murray and DeRozan form the front line, and then LaVine occupies the second position of the starting lineup. Then the remaining number one position will be won by newly joined Schroeder and Monk.

—Schroeder. His career accounts for 88% of his playing time, and he has 6.4 assists every 36 minutes in terms of efficiency.

—Monk. His career accounts for 21% of the playing time, playing No. 1, and his efficiency is 5.0 assists every 36 minutes.

Obviously, Schroeder is more suitable to play number one position. It just so happens that Monk is also suitable for the team's sixth man - No. 5 and No. 2 in the 22-23 seasons, second only to Naz Reed in the 24th season.

In other words, the Kings are not short of players who start the first position and lead the substitute.

In addition, Monk's performance is not bad at this stage.

- Playing against the Celtics, averaging 22 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists per game;

- Playing against the Cavaliers, averaging 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game;

- Playing against the Knicks, averaging 26 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists per game;

- Playing against the Thunder, averaging 16.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists per game.

It can be said that playing against top teams has shown good combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, the Kings coaching staff in the 24-25 season also intends to train Monk to double-energy guards. In terms of data, there are many star players such as Edwards and Mitchell who have obtained a total of 362 assists.

For the rebuilt king, Monk has 17+ combat power and also shows a certain ability to connect. Since that's the case, I'm still willing to give up signing Westbrook, there's probably only one possibility. It’s not that Westbrook has great magic power, but more importantly, the king wants to get rid of Monk’s big contract of 3 years and 60 million.

From the side, it is not unreasonable that the king has been "bad" for a long time. To be precise, there are too many tricks. I mean, just at this stage, Monk is definitely more useful to the team than Westbrook.
