Breaking! Green Kai intends to sign Westbrook! The No. 1 defender in the NBA free market

Bucks media SleeperBucks updated social media and posted a composite photo of Kuzma + Rivers + Westbrook + Antetokounmpo, with the text: "Should we consider introducing Russell Westbrook?"

In fact, the Bucks have no shortage of defenders now. Cole Anthony, Trent, Rollins and Porter Jr. are enough for rotation.

Recently, US media Hoops broke the news that the Celtics intend to sign Westbrook in the free market, hoping to add scoring firepower and experience to the team's bench lineup.

The Celtics are short of manpower in the backcourt. If Pritchard is promoted to the starting lineup, only Anfernee Simons can play in the backline. He is a pitcher and cannot afford to organize and revitalize the second lineup, so introducing Westbrook is indeed a good way.

Tatum will not play in the new season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, which just happens to free up the Celtics' No. 0 jersey for Westbrook to use.

Just kidding, no matter what, the Celtics' No. 0 jersey only belongs to Tatum, and according to the famous reporter Fischer, this guy is likely to return in March next year. His recovery from Achilles tendon injury is faster than imagined, and he has even started training on the court.

Strictly speaking, if the Celtics have hope of hitting the playoffs by March next year, then Tatum may return as the king; on the contrary, there is no need to take risks. Anyway, he signed a five-year super-maximum contract of US$314 million as early as last summer. There is no need to be too desperate.

I have to lament that youth is good and with the advancement of medical technology, the 27-year-old Tatum has also begun to thrive on the court due to a serious Achilles tendon injury, and the 35-year-old Lillard can also do some simple shooting movements.

Getting back to the subject, this summer was extremely painful for Westbrook. After refusing to exercise the player option worth $3.47 million for the 25-26 season and leaving the Nuggets, he thought he would be able to find a new home quickly, but the reality is that no one is interested. The Celtics seem to be the last life-saving straw. If he can't grasp it anymore, retirement may not be far away.

Of course, the 36-year-old Westbrook can choose to move to overseas leagues to continue his career, but what is the meaning? He is not short of money, with a total career salary of US$346 million. Once he leaves the NBA, at his age, it means that he will not be able to come back...
