No Contract, No Team Is Westbrook’s NBA Run Over | Could This Be Westbrook’s FINAL Season in the NBA

No Contract, No Team Is Westbrook’s NBA Run Over | Could This Be Westbrook’s FINAL Season in the NBA

Basketball fans, one of the biggest names in the NBA free agency is still without a team. Russell Westbrook. Yes, the former MVP of ninetime allstar and one of the most explosive point guards in league history is currently teamless. But here’s the bigger question. If no one signs him, could this be the end of his career? Let’s break it down. After the 2024-25 season, Westbrook declined his player option with the Denver Nuggets, hoping for a better role and more playing time. But now August 2025 and he’s still unsigned. The team most heavily linked to him is the Sacramento Kings with reports suggesting an 80% likelihood he could land there. Other rumored suitors include the Milwaukee Bucks and briefly the New York Knicks, but the Knicks seem unlikely now after filling up their guard rotation. Reason number one, age and decline. Russ is now 36 years old and no longer as explosive as he once was. Reason number two, playing style. He’s still ball dominant and many contenders today prefer spot-up shooters or role players who can fit into an existing system. Reason number three, contract expectations. Even if he’s willing to take a smaller deal, some teams might still feel his demands outweigh the value he can bring at this stage. If no team signs Westbrook before the season begins, retirement could be on the table. Not because he can’t play anymore, but because it’s difficult for a former superstar to accept a small role off the bench with limited minutes. Remember, this is a former MVP and triple double machine. Sometimes a player like that would rather walk away than play in a situation that doesn’t fit them. What could happen next? Option one, sign with the Kings. He could bring leadership and energy as a backup or spark plug. Option two, wait for an injury to a starting point guard, which could open up a roster spot. Option three, play overseas in Europe, China, or another league if he wants to keep playing professionally. Option four, retirement. If no solid offers come through, this could be the last chapter of his Hall of Fame career. So, basketball fans, what do you think? Should Russell Westbrook keep waiting for the right team, or is it time to say goodbye to the NBA? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s talk about it.
