NBA: Russell Westbrook leaves Denver, New York takes a shot at it

Russell Westbrook has made his decision. L’MVP of the 2016/17 season has decided to decline the $3.4 million player option with Denver. As a result, he is free to find himself a new franchise where he can try to fulfill his big dream, which is to win the NBA’ring.

The king of triple-doubles, 36, was an important element within the roster of Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets but has decided his future will be elsewhere. There is talk in the United States of strong interest from the New York Knicks, a team aiming for a star season.

After wearing the jerseys of Oklahoma, Houston, Washington, LA Lakers, LA Clippers, and Denver (in his last season at the Nuggets he traveled at an average of 13.9 points per game, with also 6.1 assists), Russell Westbrook may now move to New York. At 36 years old, he still has little time to try not to end his brilliant career without any NBA titles.

In addition to New York, watch out for Sacramento, another franchise interested in the 1988-class guard. However, it is clear that Russell Westbrook is looking for a team that is already ready to try to win the NBA’ring, and the Kings, at this time, are definitely not. The future of Russell Westbrook will be known in the coming weeks.
