Wow! No one is interested! Goodbye NBA! The most bleak superstar in the free market.

James has already gone to the 76ers, so why haven't the Heat or other teams signed Westbrook yet?

Reporter Sidery says:Westbrook has received very little interest in this summer's free market, almost no one is asking...

This guy last season played on a one-year veteran minimum of $3.63 million for the Kings, appearing in 64 regular-season games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, contributing 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.3 steals, with shooting percentages of 42.7%, 33.8%, and 69.4%.

It seems like great value for money, but unfortunately Westbrook's problem is that he is too old and there may be personality issues as well. He will turn 38 this November. Not everyone is a superstar like James who can maintain All-Star level performance and immense commercial value for a long time.

Notably, according to Miami Herald reporter Barry Jackson, a coach trusted by Spoelstra advised the Heat not to sign Westbrook because the veteran is difficult to coach.

Back to the point, if Westbrook really can't return to the NBA and has no intention of retiring, then perhaps he should consider taking his talents to other leagues. In fact, last summer there were rumors that the Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv was preparing to sign him with a huge contract, but it turned out to be fake news. This summer, similar rumors have spread again.

Recently, reporter Gerard Solé reported that,Greek giants Panathinaikos, Israeli powerhouse Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Dubai Basketball Club are in fierce competition, all intending to bring Westbrook under their wings.

Of course, overseas teams being interested is one thing, but whether Westbrook is willing to go is another. After all, according to incomplete statistics, his total career salary income so far has reached $350 million, so he doesn't need to leave home for money. Therefore, it is also possible that he realizes he has been completely abandoned by the NBA and decides to retire on the spot.

Westbrook is already full of honors: 1 MVP, 9 All-NBA selections, 2 scoring titles, 3 assist titles, 9 All-Star appearances, 1 Olympic gold medal, and being named one of the 75 greatest players, etc. He is only missing one championship ring to complete his career, but unfortunately it may never come true.
