Reports say a CBA team has offered Westbrook between $10 million and $14 million, with only 23 games plus extra pay if they reach the playoffs.

On October 15 Beijing time, the news of Westbrook getting an offer from a CBA team caused a lot of buzz. The US media ClutchPoints provided further details on social media. The report states —

Westbrook has drawn little focus in the NBA offseason this year, yet the Chinese league is very keen on acquiring him. The league showed strong commitment by offering him a contract exceeding $10 million, and this is just for half a season!

Multiple reports indicate that the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) has proposed a contract ranging from $10 million to $14 million to Westbrook, hoping he will leave the NBA and showcase his skills overseas.

Sacramento local radio host Dave Carmichael revealed that this deal only covers half a season, corresponding to 23 regular season games in the CBA; if his team advances to the playoffs, both playing time and salary could increase.

The most frequently mentioned potential destination in the reports is the Xinjiang team, which finished tied for third place last season among the 20 teams in the CBA.

Of course, most insiders within the NBA believe Westbrook prefers to stay in the NBA, with the Sacramento Kings being the team he is most likely to join.

However, the salary the Kings can offer is far below the amount proposed by the Chinese league.

The specific salary comparison is as follows:

Kings offer: $3.6 million

Chinese league offer: over $10 million

So, what choice should Westbrook ultimately make?
