Ex-Nugget Russell Westbrook could announce free agency decision soon
Ex-Nugget Russell Westbrook could announce free agency decision soon originally appeared on The Sporting News Ex-Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook remains unsigned deep into free agency, however a decision for the former MVP could be looming. Earlier this offseason, Westbrook took to his blog, Word of Westbrook, to let fans know that his free agency decision is coming soon. 'It's no secret that there's news about where I'll end up on the horizon, and I appreciate y'all's interest,' Westbrook said. 'But just hold tight, there's more to come.' Westbrook announcing this on his blog could signal that he could potentially be his own newsbreaker in the future, with many speculating that the decision could be announced via Word of Westbrook. Westbrook is still a valuable player despite his advanced age Westbrook isn't the same player he once was when he was averaging triple-doubles and winning MVP's throughout the 2010's, but he's still a productive asset even at 36-years-old. This past season with the Nuggets, Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 6.1 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game in 75 appearances (36 starts). In each of the last three seasons, Westbrook has received votes for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award. Should Westbrook depart from Denver, it'll be his third team in as many seasons. Many teams across the league have gauged their interest in the nine-time All-Star's services, but just where he will play next season remains to be seen. In the meantime, Westbrook is one of the best guards available on the open market.
