Trade revealed! Westbrook is expected to transfer! Another rebuilding NBA team

4 wins and 13 losses, second to last in the Western Conference. The Kings can catch up or even surpass the Pelicans (2 wins and 15) no matter how hard they try.

Famous reporter Fischer recently reported that the Kings Supermarket has opened. The entire team except Murray and Clifford can be traded, especially the core members of the team, namely LaVine + DeRozan + Sabonis.

Meiji Sidery said in this regard that the Warriors can consider sending Kuminga + Moody + Hield in a package, and trade Sabonis and Ellis from the Kings.

In fact, judging from the latest news, Sabonis is easy to negotiate, but the Kings don't seem to be very interested in sending Ellis away, and there are countless teams who are hungry for his body, making him a super hot commodity.

This guy has averaged 18 minutes per game so far this season, scoring 6.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals. He averages 1.6 three-pointers per game with a 42.4% shooting rate. He is a plug-and-play backcourt player with both offense and defense.

I believe that what everyone is most concerned about is the whereabouts of Westbrook. So far this season, he has played 17 games for the Kings and started 11 times, averaging 28.2 minutes per game and contributing 14.1 points6 .9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 3.1 turnovers, 1.1 steals, 44.4% field goal percentage, and 2.1 three-pointers per game with a 38.9% field goal percentage, proving that even though he is 37 years old, he still has a lot of gas in the tank.

This summer, Westbrook, who was almost unemployed, signed with the Kings on an unguaranteed veteran's minimum salary contract of US$3.6 million a year. The team can waive him at any time without paying the remaining salary, and he can be traded according to the rules, which means that he is now on the shelf.

As mentioned above, Westbrook has shown a certain value this season. If he is waived and becomes a free agent, there is a high probability that a new owner will be willing to take him under his wing, or even choose to join a team of his choice. If he is traded, he has to pray that he can be sent to a competitive team; if he is traded to an equally bad team, he can also negotiate a buyout and enter the free market.

In short, although the Kings have given Westbrook a chance to "rebirth", his remaining playing career cannot be wasted on rebuilding the team. It is best to go to the championship team to "enjoy the thigh".

People always ask why Westbrook refused to exercise his player option this summer and left the Nuggets, which has ranked third in the Western Conference with 12 wins and 4 losses so far this season? According to my answer, it's not that he wants to leave the Nuggets, but that the Nuggets don't want him to stay on the team.
