It is one of the big mysteries to be solved before the season kicks off... Or perhaps it will still have no resolution by October 21. Russell Westbrook is teamless and is not attracting the expected interest for a man of his résumé. His inconsistency and poor decisions on the court greatly limit the NBA offers he receives.

It seems unbelievable that an MVP who was able to average a triple-double not too long ago, is now without a team, despite not demanding a high salary. Russell Westbrook has not inspired much confidence with his performances in recent seasons and faces a serious risk of starting the NBA season without a team. Offers are slow to come in, and he is pushing it, unafraid to see how the competition begins without him being on any team.

The decision of Russell Westbrook is firm; he will wait as long as necessary and will not explore offers from abroad. He could earn an enormous salary in Dubai or China, as well as compete at the highest level in Europe, but the player is fully convinced that his only path will be to remain in the NBA. He believes that, sooner or later, an offer that fits his interests will come along and he is willing to be patient.
