Russell Westbrook has declined his player option and will become a free agent on June 30. This comes after the Denver Nuggets struggled towards the end of the season and into the playoffs.

 

Westbrook averaged 13.3 points and 6.1 assists per game for the Nuggets last season. It initially appeared as if he fit in well with the team, but recent rumors have suggested otherwise.

Westbrook will be entering his 18th season next year. It will be interesting to see how many teams, if any, will look to sign him.

The former MVP hasn’t been very sought out ever since his stint in LA with the Lakers. Maybe he can join another contender next season and be their missing piece to the championship puzzle.
