We’re almost into September, and Russell Westbrook is still a free agent. Jake Fischer's latest reporting indicates that the only team showing interest is the Kings, but they’re working on some of their own cap maneuvering to add Russ without getting rid of Malik Monk’s salary.
The fact that it’s this late in the offseason, the only suitor is the Kings, and they’re still waiting on other transactions, should tell you everything you need to know about Westbrook’s market at the moment.
There’s a real chance that this drags out all the way into the season, and the future Hall of Famer doesn’t start the year on an NBA roster.
