Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder have reached an agreement on a three-year, $85+ million maximum contract renegotiation. Terms of the agreement will give the All-NBA point guard a player option for the third year, which would potentially put him on the free agency market at the end of the 2017-18 season.
Well this should stop the trades we can get Westbrook this offseason for Reke and a 1st lol. Westbrook signing a short contract actually gives us a better chance to sign him in the future instead of now IMO. We get a few years to build a franchise from top to bottom showing a player like Westbrook his addition would vault us into NBA championship conversations.
