Where to go to Westbrook? Choose one of the next four, the last dance of your career, and the annual salary number is touching

After the end of the 2024-25 season, Westbrook jumped out of the contract and became a free agent, playing 75 games for the Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. It is obvious that Westbrook still has oil in the fuel tank, but it is indeed not much. He is no longer the triple-double machine of the past, and chose to jump out of the contract. The Nuggets did not include Westbrook in the next season's plan. The free market has been opened for nearly a month, and no other team is willing to accept Westbrook. Many fans are speculating about which team Westbrook will join and who will this veteran who has been fighting in the league for 17 years. Although Westbrook's condition has declined severely, he is still full of fighting spirit and can actively influence his teammates on the court. Normally, Westbrook will not be ignored. He will definitely join a certain team next season. Where will he go? In this regard, US media ClutchPoints published an article analyzing Westbrook's four potential next players.

The first is the Heat. The reason given by the media is that cultural fit is that Westbrook can have a positive impact on the bench, guide rookie Acuzzonis, and promote the rhythm of the game behind Herro. The Heat will attach great importance to Westbrook's passion; the second is the King, because Westbrook can add stability to the King's back and provide leadership in the locker room; the third is the Bucks, because Lillard leaves, and the Bucks need lineup depth, and Westbrook can lead the second team to provide championship motivation for Antetokounm; the fourth is the Pistons, who serves as a substitute for Cunningham, which is a rising team. The Pistons need an experienced and passionate mentor like Westbrook.

Yes, the next home of Westbrook that ClutchPoints predicted by the US media are the Heat, Kings, Bucks and Pistons. Each reason is very sufficient, and it is a bit consistent. They all value Westbrook's passion. For Westbrook, he still desires competition and hopes to continue to stay in the NBA. No matter which team he joins, Westbrook can lead the second team, use his passion to inspire his teammates and help young players grow. It is worth mentioning that the media also said that next season may be Westbrook's final chapter, and after the end of next season, Westbrook may announce his retirement.

What is certain is that Westbrook will definitely have a veteran's basic salary next season, with a salary of more than three million US dollars. After playing in the NBA for 17 years, Westbrook earned $346 million. To be honest, what he cares most about now is not the salary, but the championship. If he can, it is best to join a team with competitive championship strength. It is getting closer and closer to retirement. Westbrook has few opportunities. If he can win a championship trophy, I believe Westbrook's historical status will rise to a higher level. Let's wait and see if there is a chance.
