28 teams in the NBA have recently entered the offseason, and each team is actively adjusting its lineup.

At this time, not only the team is choosing players, but also the players have to choose teams. Westbrook played for the Denver Nuggets this season and performed quite well. Although he is no longer a star, Westbrook is still a reliable role player, with an annual salary of more than $3 million and playing ok games.

And this summer, Westbrook needs to make a decision, and he still has more than $3 million in player options next season. At this time, in addition to the NBA arena, there are also teams from Europe recruiting Westbrook. Two weeks ago, an Israeli team said they were willing to give Westbrook the most expensive contract in European basketball history.

The most expensive contract in the European basketball circle, with an annual salary of only about $4 million, so this Israeli team offered Westbrook a contract of nearly $5 million at most. Many contracts in European basketball are after tax, so it is also a good choice if Westbrook accepts such an invitation.

Westbrook has recently announced that he will jump out of his contract and will not execute the player option for next season and become a full free agent. As a result, more people speculate that Westbrook may leave the NBA arena. But today, Westbrook announced his decision.

According to US media reports, Westbrook focused his attention on the NBA, but still hoped to continue playing in the NBA, and had no plans to go to the European arena. Choosing to jump out of the contract, Westbrook also gives the Nuggets a flexible space for lineup adjustment.

Westbrook is currently on vacation with his wife and has undergone surgery to repair his hand ligaments and fractures.
