Overview

• Westbrook remains an unrestricted free agent after declining a roughly $3.5 million player option with the Nuggets in June.
• Shams Charania reports strong mutual interest between Westbrook and the Kings, who ranked 29th in bench points and assists last season.
• Sacramento currently has one open standard roster spot and sits about $5.4 million below the luxury tax line, making a deal financially feasible if terms align.
• Carmichael Dave estimates about a 70% chance Westbrook signs with the Kings at some point, contingent on agreement over money.
• Marc Stein reports Westbrook’s camp is focused on securing an NBA contract with zero discussion about playing overseas despite talk of a China offer.
