Westbrook has cleared the Nuggets and announced his departure? Two people are coming. Westbrook has no place to stand. You can go to the Rockets to find Durant
11:29am, 2 July 2025【Basketball】
The first operation was a heavyweight deal. The Nuggets gave Michael Porter Jr. + the first round draft pick in 2032 and exchanged forward Cameron Johnson from the Nets.
This deal is what the Nuggets hope to improve their outside projection capabilities. Sending off Porter, who is in a worse and worse condition, welcomes Old Huang Zhong, who is shooting accurately from the outside, and the Nuggets' strength has been greatly improved.
In addition, the Nuggets also signed defender Bruce Brown who currently plays for the Nuggets and wins the championship with the team in the free market. Brown is a dynamic and impactful player with a lot of energy. His return will inevitably have a great impact on Westbrook.
In fact, the arrival of these two people will squeeze Westbrook's playing time. Westbrook is full of energy to play on the court, but there are often all kinds of nonsensical scenes. To put it bluntly, it means that the basic skills are not solid enough and the lack of calmness in playing basketball. Even at this age of career, Westbrook is still the way he plays when he was young.
It is worth mentioning that so far, the Nuggets have not revealed the intention of re-signing with Westbrook. Westbrook himself seemed to feel that it was meaningless to continue to stay in the Nuggets, and he might be leaving. In the free market in 2025, Westbrook, who fought in the NBA for 17 years, is still a free agent.
Today, careful fans discovered that Westbrook had unblocked the Nuggets' social media account.
Several senior Wimi said that Westbrook unfollowed the Nuggets on Instagram. Not only that, Westbrook, the team he played for, has stopped paying attention to, except for the Thunder.
Previously, Westbrook refused to execute a $3.3 million player option and became a full free agent.
Westbrook originally joined the Nuggets in hopes to join forces to meet his teacher and strive for the championship dream. They played all the way to the Western Conference semi-finals, but unfortunately they lost to the championship team Thunder in the tiebreak, and Westbrook once again failed to fight for the championship.
In my opinion, it is already very difficult for Westbrook to find another team that suits him now. As for Westbrook's technical characteristics, strong teams do not need his ball-holding and impact type, but it is accompanied by a lot of mistakes. The weak team will not give Westbrook too much playing time.
Teams like the Nuggets that have insufficient bench lineup were originally suitable for Westbrook's performance, but now the Nuggets have exchanged for Cameron Johnson and signed Bruce Brown, and Westbrook no longer needs. Then Westbrook can only make a fortune.
This is quite sad. Westbrook is less than one year older than Harden, and he started far ahead of Harden. He was a little bit brighter in the middle. Now he has a basic salary and a 40 million yuan. This shows one thing: projection is really the most important basic skill of basketball in this era.
So, now, which team can Westbrook go to?
In my opinion, there are very few teams that are truly suitable for Westbrook. Westbrook's best destination is to return to the Thunder with a veteran's basic salary, achieve a fallen leaf return, and have the opportunity to win a championship ring with his thigh. However, for Westbrook, who is arrogant, it is probably difficult to accept that he returns to Thunder in this way at this stage.
As for another possibility, Westbrook can also try to contact the Rockets. After the Rockets got Durant's trade, they completed a series of operations, including signing players such as Finney Smith. However, the Rockets are now missing a substitute point guard, and perhaps Westbrook can try his luck. It is also a good story for him to join forces with Durant again in his later years of career.
However, there is another huge problem, that is, what the Rockets lack is outside shooting + organizational point guard. Westbrook did not do well enough in these two points.
So, where will Westbrook's next home be in the end? Let's wait and see.
