Russell Westbrook of the Denver Nuggets has officially declined his player option for $3.4 million. He will become a free agent this coming offseason. Last offseason, Westbrook signed a two-year deal with the Denver Nuggets for the veteran minimum, with a player option included. The former league MVP is not quite what he once was; however, he still has value in some aspects. He had many high moments this season with the Nuggets, but also had plenty of low points. Any team that signs Westbrook at this point in his career is taking a risk, though he can still provide valuable depth to benches that are lacking in the current Association. Considering this, it will be interesting to see where Russell Westbrook plays next year.
