Russell Westbrook's CBA market value revealed! Ridiculous, absolutely absurd.

What?

According to the American media outlet Clutch Pointsa CBA team has offered Westbrook a yearly salary between $10 million and $14 million, requiring him to play only half a season with about 23 games. If he helps the team reach the playoffs, his salary could increase further.

The CBA's new season foreign player salary cap is $4.25 million, but teams can exceed this limit by paying an adjustment fee, which is equivalent to the NBA luxury tax. If the excess is more than $2 million, the adjustment fee rate is 150%.

Wow, the cost for a CBA team to acquire Westbrook is far more than just a salary slightly over $10 million. Which club can afford that? Even the wealthy Shanghai team might find it hard to bear, and having money doesn’t mean they can spend it recklessly.

Regarding the above report from the American media, many netizens have expressed doubts, as follows:

In fact, no matter how much the CBA or other leagues offer, it’s a drop in the bucket for Westbrook, whose total career earnings have reached $346 million. Plus, his main goal right now is to return to the NBA, and he doesn’t even seem interested in playing overseas.

According to the latest odds on Westbrook’s next team, the Kings, Rockets, Mavericks, Warriors, and Knicks are the top five contenders, with no CBA teams listed.
