As a former superstar, Westbrook is now the only rubbish contract in the league. Today, he has come back from injury, but even against the weak Spurs, the Wizards are still difficult to win. Westbrook played in the game for 25 minutes, shooting 3 of 11, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, contributing 9 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 turnovers. The plus-minus value is -20. What's interesting is this game. The Wizards lost just 20 points. If Westbrook does not play, the Wizards may not be unable to win.
This year Westbrook's annual salary reached 44.21 million US dollars, and he can now average 18 points, 9.5 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game in the regular season, shooting 37% from the field and 30.6% from the three-point range, both in terms of basic efficiency. It can be seen that Westbrook's current offensive efficiency is quite bad. In fact, it can be seen from the shooting hot zone that Westbrook's shooting level in other areas is quite poor, except for the three-pointer in the bottom corner.
The discerning person can also see that it is very difficult for Westbrook to be the starter of a championship or even a playoff-level team. It is very difficult for the Wizards to play like this, let alone play. What a major role, in fact, the best place for him now is as a substitute core for a championship-level team.
Now the 32-year-old Westbrook has ushered in a full decline, and his worst part is that he knows his shortcomings but has not improved at all. After the serious injury, Ross developed organization and three-pointers, Dro Zan changed from being a pretty boy in the CIC to being able to shoot three points. Westbrook's current state is similar to that of Anthony, who was abandoned by the Knicks.
If Westbrook is willing to accept a substitute role and negotiate with the Wizards to buy out and join a championship-level team, this is definitely beneficial to Westbrook. Although Westbrook's ability has declined, he can still act as a bench For example, he is now regarded as a powerful version of Schroder. He has less than 2 years of contract left. If he contacts the Wizards to buy out, he may only need to give up 20 million US dollars to regain his freedom.
So compared with Harden, Durant, and Irving in the Nets to form the Big Three,Westbrook forms the Lakers Big Three with James and Davis. Although Westbrook's role has transitioned from an absolute core to a bench core, he can still be as famous as Jameson. Even if he wins the championship, he can earn a "third champion." Although I want to be incomparable to Durant, Bi Harden is more than enough. Do you think Westbrook should transform?
