Westbrook may return to Thunder to perfectly make up for No. 1 position

On July 27, after many veterans in the free market found their next home, the offseason reinforcement of each team is basically coming to an end. Players who are still not signed may face unemployment, and former MVP Westbrook encountered such a dilemma. Last season, he joined the Nuggets with a minimum salary as a substitute point guard and averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Judging from the data, he is very valuable. In some games, Westbrook has become the team's winning surprise.

Westrow has been in a state of displaced in recent seasons. Even though he is still actively working on the court, he has never been recognized by the team and received a long contract. The biggest problem is Westbrook's instability in key games and decisive moments and the impact on the team. After welcoming several championship players, the Nuggets decisively gave up Westbrook.

It is reported that the new Thunder King Alexander revealed that he was willing to pay out of his own pocket to provide Westbrook with a $5 million middle-class contract, inviting this MVP player who once played the peak of his career in the team. During his time in Russia, Westbrook scored 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists per game, and was also the super big hit that the three young men stayed behind until they were traded in the end.

The Thunder just won the championship this summer and retained all the players in the championship lineup. The core of the team with Alexander + Jewish + Homgren is already very clear in the future. However, the team's staffing in other positions is not sufficient, and there is no real point guard to sort out the offense in the starting lineup. Often, Alexander and Jewish take turns to play the role of organizers. In the substitute lineup, although there are many defenders, they tend to be more defensive 3D attributes. After Gidey was traded, the number one position appeared in a "vacuum". Westbrook's joining can directly make up for this flaw. He has always been an offensive point guard, but he also has outstanding abilities in offensive organization. He uses breakthroughs to tear open the opponent's defense line to give teammates an opportunity to easily score.

Thunder fans are also looking forward to Westbrook's return, after all, he has brought passion and many beautiful memories to this small city. Compared with Durant and Harden, Westbrook has a higher level of contribution to the city and its fans.

Durant switched to the Rockets in the offseason, and Harden renewed his contract with the Clippers. If Westbrook can join the Thunder, then even if the three young men were unable to compete for the championship together in the same team, their respective teams were all favorites to win the championship in the West. Westbrook and Harden have not yet won the championship in their careers, and Durant's championship ring won by the Warriors has always been criticized. No matter who can win the championship next summer, the three can justify themselves and achieve a more perfect ending in their careers.
