C'mon teams, don't you recognize the opportunity for tremendously goofy lowlights next year?
Is it time for a Senior League NBA? He is still a great player but there are lots of “seasoned veteran” players these days. A Senior League would give more players a shot at being in the NBA. Kinda kidding but not really. 😬
I think the Jazz should sign him then wave his contract again
any comment on this?
Which team is most in need of a player who throws up airballs and blows uncontested layups?
Just because he declined the option, doesn’t mean that he’s not going to re-sign with the Nuggets. It means that he has the opportunity to see what else is out there, as he should based on where he’s at in his career. He’s still one of the most exciting players to watch in the league…
Cashing in
Seems like he's been in the league since 1972
join the Celtics we need something positive after these injuries lately 😭
GET READY TO LEARN CHINESE, BUDDY
I'm guessing he'll join the Bucks. And lose the first round to the Pacers.
I’d expect Westbrook to be back with the Nuggets on another minimum contract or 120% of the minimum. I wrote more about his upcoming free agency here www.onoffbasketball.com/2025fawestbr...
I’ll take that money. I can airball 3s for $3.4M

Bro literally helped hand the Timberwolves the 6 seed by missing a layup with like less than 10 secs left and fouling NAW beyond the arc with a second left in the game. I hope he stays in Denver.
