Will Westbrook compete in European basketball next season?

8:20pm, 9 June 2025Basketball

If we only examine the salary earned in Westbrook throughout his career, the total salary of nearly $350 million ($346 million) is astonishing, Westbrook's career is amazing!

Also examines Westbrook's professional honors resume. This defender who debuted in the Thunder in 2008 will become the Thunder totem in the future and has long written a strong mark in the history of the Thunder.

Westbrook has been selected as the All-Star nine times and the Best Team 9 times. Among them, he beat the heroes in the 2016-17 season and won the MVP with a touching triple-double miracle average. In the 16-17 season, Westbrook played 81 games for the Thunder, averaging 34.6 minutes per game, and averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game. The average triple-double average was shocking. In the end, Westbrook beat Harden and won the MVP trophy that year.

In a nutshell, Westbrook is a model of success whether it earns a salary or honor.

But when examining Westbrook's championship resume, the embarrassment of not having a championship so far may even run through his entire career, and eventually end up with a lifelong fate of not having a championship, which is a pity.

Westbrook has never won the championship in his life because he always lacks All-Star helpers around him. One of the major reasons is that he lacks the loss attributes of the details at critical moments of the game. At the critical moment of the game, maybe a fast break layup can make a victory, but Westbrook can always mess up the blue above, and his passes were cut and inexplicable mistakes were even more crazy...

Westbrook averaged triple-double miracle more than one season since the 2017 season, but in those years the Thunder were just a round of the playoffs.

Even with All-Stars such as George Anthony, the Thunder is still sad in the first round. Can Westbrook really stay out of the matter and avoid being blamed?

Perhaps this is why even if you play well, you still make very little contributions to the team, and you may even be lacking in good terms.

This season, Westbrook undoubtedly played a successful season -

He played 75 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, of which he shot 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage, and 32.3% from the three-point shooting percentage and 66.1% from the free throw percentage. He performed well, and eventually helped the Nuggets enter the playoffs as fourth in the Western Conference. During the playoffs, Westbrook played 13 games as the team's sixth substitute, and averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, and his performance was outstanding.

But it is a bit embarrassing. When Westbrook is not on the court, the Nuggets can perform better.

Nuggets have a net victory of 8.4 points per 100 rounds in the regular season, while when Westbrook is on the court, the Nuggets can only have a net victory of 0.1 points per 100 rounds; this is more obvious in the playoffs. When Westbrook is on the court, the team loses 16 points per 100 rounds, and when not on the court, the Nuggets can win 3.2 points. Whether they are on the court or not, the Nuggets have a difference in offense and defense.

Westbrook has the last year left in his contract with the Nuggets, and he has a player option worth 3.46 million. It is still unknown whether he can continue to compete in the NBA next season, right?

Perhaps, Westbrook's next stop will go overseas to start a new chapter.

Israeli basketball powerhouse Hapoel Tel Aviv Club has previously completed preliminary contact with Westbrook. This traditional Israeli giant intends to successfully recruit Westbrook with an unprecedented high salary in European basketball history.

Hapol Tel Aviv had just won the European Cup. As the number one new team in mainland Europe, if Westbrook joins, it will definitely be a big boom, right?

It is worth mentioning that in July last year, Westbrook's former Lakers teammate Beverly signed with this team.

Westbrook will go next season, maybe his figure will appear on the European basketball court...
