Wolves should avoid signing readily available free agent despite point guard woes

With the NBA season just over a week away from tipping off, nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook remains unsigned. Despite still being unsigned, Westbrook has zero interest in playing overseas, per Marc Stein. Frankly, why should he? Westbrook is flawed, sure, but he just averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists last season.

There remains mutual interest between Westbrook and the Sacramento Kings, who have long been considered the main suitor for Westbrook. The Minnesota Timberwolves don't have confirmed interest in Westbrook. However, some fans might want Minnesota to sign the veteran, given their well-discussed point guard problems.
