Maximum salary contract! European teams offer Westbrook! Will he leave the NBA?

On June 5, European basketball reporter Nemanja Zoric reported that the Israeli team Tel Aviv Hapur has had preliminary contact with Westbrook, and they offered Westbrook a sky-high contract, an unprecedented salary in European basketball history. It is worth mentioning that Beverly has also joined Tel Aviv Hapur.

In February this year, Beverly and Tel Aviv Hapur completed the termination. At that time, Beverly said that he was grateful to Tel Aviv Hapur. This time, Tel Aviv Hapur's contact with Westbrook is likely to be matched by Beverly. The highest salary for European basketball is now Nunn, with an annual salary of 4.5 million euros (5.135 million US dollars).

If Tel Aviv Hapur offered Westbrook an annual salary of $6 million, would he accept it? Most likely not. First, Westbrook is still able to play in the NBA now, and it is not a state of no one to care about it; second, Westbrook is not short of money. Although Westbrook's salary has dropped significantly in the past two years, his off-market income has exceeded tens of millions of dollars a year. In May 2023, Forbes calculated the net worth of Westbrook at that time was $375 million. More than two years have passed, and Westbrook's net worth has exceeded US$400 million. Besides, Westbrook is a man from the Gu family, and it is difficult to convince him to play overseas. In summary, the leader thinks Westbrook will not accept the offer from Tel Aviv Hapur team.

On May 28 this year, the Nuggets officially announced that Westbrook successfully underwent right-hand surgery and repaired multiple ligament tears. In the second round of the playoffs, Westbrook played with injuries for a long time, but he did not disclose his injuries. In addition to the ligament tear, Westbrook also suffered a finger fracture. Westbrook had four fingers wrapped around bandages, and he didn't use injuries as an excuse!

This year's playoffs, Westbrook averaged 24.1 minutes per game, scoring 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 39.1%, 31.7%, 70%. This season's regular season, Westbrook averaged 27.9 minutes per game, scoring 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers. The three shooting percentages were: 44.9%, 32.3%, and 66.1%.

Finally, we welcome the discussion: Do you think Westbrook will play in European teams?
