NBA Rumors: 4 Teams Where Russell Westbrook Could End Up

NBA Rumors: Russell Westbrook has just had a more than decent season with the Denver Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points and 6 assists as a reserve in 28 minutes per game. In the playoffs, where they almost eliminated OKC, he also performed at a high level. As a result, there are franchises that could be interested in the future Hall of Famer, who recently turned down the player option he had with the Colorado team and is now looking for a new contract.

Where could Westbrook go if he leaves Denver in free agency? Here are four of the most rumored destinations:

Sacramento Kings
The Kings once had two of the best point guards in the league in their roster back in 2022. Today, they have none: Tyrese Haliburton leads a Pacers team aiming for the championship, while De'Aaron Fox was traded to San Antonio at the end of this season's trade deadline. Adam Wells from Bleacher Report believes Westbrook would fit well in Sacramento, where the offense revolves around center Domantas Sabonis. It's a playing style similar to what Westbrook experienced in Denver, although Sabonis is not Nikola Jokic.

Dallas Mavericks
The Texan team also needs a point guard for the upcoming season. The Mavericks will be without Kyrie Irving at least until the second half of the season due to a torn ACL. Furthermore, Westbrook already has experience sharing the court with Anthony Davis during his time with the Lakers, which could ease his transition into Dallas's core.

Milwaukee Bucks
Another team facing issues at the point guard position. With Damian Lillard out for the entire 2025-26 season, Milwaukee is seeking a temporary solution to remain competitive. While Westbrook doesn't have Lillard's outside shooting, he could contribute as a secondary playmaker and a seasoned vet alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Boston Celtics
The current champions are looking to trim salaries this summer to avoid surpassing the luxury tax threshold. One of the main candidates for a trade is Jrue Holiday, who has over 100 million dollars remaining on his contract for three years. Westbrook may not match his defensive contribution, but he could provide offensive direction, intensity, and experience. Ryan Blackburn of Mile High Sports has also suggested Boston as a possible destination.
