Westbrook is leaving? The giant team recruits at a sky-high price, breaking record-breaking salary conditions!

Israeli basketball powerhouse Hapoel Tel Aviv Club has completed preliminary contact with Westbrook and is planning a high-paying contract that is unprecedented in European basketball history. If this news finally comes true, Westbrook may say goodbye to the NBA arena in advance and embark on a new journey to the European arena.

As a potential next team, Khapolt Aviv belongs to the traditional giant team of the Israeli League. It had just won the European Cup and is the number one new team in the entire European continent's basketball world.

In July last year, Westbrook's Lakers teammate Beverly signed with the team. Beverly also gave a very high evaluation of this signing:

"They gave me everything I wanted, and I can't refuse this contract."

Before going to Europe, Beverly also rejected two basic salary contracts from the Pistons and the Rockets.

In contrast, Westbrook's current situation is also full of variables. He currently has the last year left in his contract with the Nuggets, holding a player option worth 3.46 million. Considering the outstanding performance this season, even if you choose to stay in the NBA, there should be a basic salary quote waiting for him. It is not ruled out that Westbrook will choose to jump out of the contract and re-enter the free market.

With the emergence of overseas league teams, the question now also arises:

Will Westbrook continue to seek role player positions in the NBA? Or should I resolutely turn to Europe and get a sky-high contract?

For this historical triple-double king, if he wants to get him in love, European teams must show enough sincerity. Khapolt Aviv is obviously prepared for this and plans to leverage the former MVP to join the league at any cost.

Westbrook, who is 36 years old this year, has been fighting for 17 years since entering the NBA in 2008 and has left countless honorary moments. He has been selected as the All-Star 9 times and the Best Team 9 times, and won the MVP in the 2016-17 season.

relies on unparalleled passion and explosion speed to play his own style of basketball. Even in his late career, he was able to play his remaining energy on the team's bench. This season, he has played 75 regular season games, averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 32.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.1%. During the playoffs, he played as the team's sixth man in 13 games, and averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Although

is still valuable, we must also admit a reality. Westbrook is no longer the invincible man who led a single core team and frantically scored triple-double. From the perspective of referring to the advanced data, the Nuggets performed better when he was not on the court, with a net victory of 8.4 points per 100 rounds in the regular season, while when Westbrook was on the court, the Nuggets could only net victory of 0.1 points per 100 rounds; it was more obvious in the playoffs. When Westbrook was on the court, the team lost 16 points per 100 rounds, and when not on the court, the Nuggets could win 3.2 points.

It is obvious that Westbrook still has the ability in his later years, but in the fiercely competitive NBA, he is no longer the core of the protagonist, but more like a rotating player of the panacea type. If he chooses to join the European League, he will naturally be treated as the core again, or even a star in the league.

According to statistics, Westbrook's total salary in the NBA has reached nearly US$346 million, and he has long achieved financial freedom. Now he is more of a personal love for basketball, one is the familiar but gradually marginalized NBA, and the other is the new European arena that may be rejuvenated.

What is now placed in front of Westbrook is a multiple-choice question worth considering.
