'The Only Home We’ve Heard For Him' – Sacramento Kings Chances of Landing Russell Westbrook Explained by NBA Expert

Fischer reported about this on the “Insider Notebook” on YouTube.

“We are still waiting to see what other moves could come in Sacramento before the Kings try to bring in Russell Westbrook,” Fischer said. “And that’s been the one home all along that we really have looked at for Russell Westbrook. And that is still the home I have heard earlier this week for Russell Westbrook — if he’s gonna be in the NBA at all, honestly.”

However, recent reports from The Athletic’s Sam Amick show that the Sacramento Kings need to move a few players around to make room for Westbrook.

“More specifically, the odds of a Russell Westbrook signing go up if they know they’re completely out on Kuminga (though they aren’t expected to make that move unless they can make room in the rotation by trading a guard),” Amick reported.

The Sacramento Kings are predicted to sign a two-year deal

The Sacramento Kings may not have enough room for Russell Westbrook. However, that hasn’t prevented rumors about both parties. In a recent report from Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus, the insider predicted that the Kings will sign him to a two-year contract.

“The team has since acquired Cam Johnson, Jonas Valančiūnas, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown. Denver still has room to sign Westbrook, but it doesn’t appear inclined to do so,” Pincus wrote about Westbrook and the Denver Nuggets.

“The Sacramento Kings stand out as his obvious next home, as they need a point guard to back up Dennis Schröder,” he added. “Prediction: Russell Westbrook signs a two-year minimum deal with a player option in Sacramento.”
