Westbrook s future is a mystery: The Nets become the number one hot next home, and the Lakers and Clippers are also on the list

With the Nuggets defeating the Thunder in the Western Conference semi-final tiebreak, the journey of this season came to an abrupt end. What makes fans even more worried is that the team's core Westbrook may change his goal this summer. According to the latest odds issued by American bookmakers, if Westbrook chooses to leave the team, the Nets are becoming the next one most likely to take over.

According to the latest odds list, the Nets lead the battle with +600 (betting 100 yuan can get a return of 700 yuan). The Hawks and Magic tied for second with +700, with the Jazz and the Trail Blazers following closely. It is worth noting that the former team Clippers (+900) and Lakers (+2500) also appeared on the list, but ranked relatively low.

The 35-year-old veteran currently has the initiative. He has a $3.47 million player option next season and needs to decide whether to execute it before June 30. Last summer, Westbrook signed a two-year, $6.77 million "baby price" contract with the Nuggets. This season, he still delivered a comprehensive data of 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, but his playoff performance declined, with his shooting percentage falling to 39.1%.

League insiders analyzed that Westbrook's choice will trigger a chain reaction: if he chooses to execute the contract, he will continue to play for the championship team with a great value contract; if he jumps out of the contract, he may seek the last long contract in his career. The Nets currently have sufficient salary space and urgently need experienced point guards to lead the young roster, which may be the key reason why they lead the odds list.

As the opening day of the free market approaches, the future trends of the 9-time All-Star have become one of the biggest suspense this summer. Should we stay in Denver and continue to compete for the championship, or should we switch to Brooklyn to start a new chapter? The speculation battle among fans has begun.
