On February 8, Beijing time, the arrival of the NBA trading deadline is getting closer and closer, and whether Westbrook will be traded by the Lakers has also been concerned by many people. Among them, including Wei Shao's former owner Wizards.
According to Wizards reporter Chase Hughes, insiders revealed that the Wizards intend to sign back Westbrook, but the premise is that the Lakers use him from the Rockets in exchange for Wall, but the Rockets bought out Westbrook, and the Wizards reached a signing agreement with him.
The reporter said he wasn't joking, and the wizards wanted to sign Westbrook back because last season, he did well with the likes of Bill, Yamura and Garford and made it to the playoffs.
Previously, reporters reported that it was difficult for the Lakers to send Wei Shao away before the trade deadline, because no team was interested in him, and even the Rockets needed the Lakers to sign the first round of the 27-year pick to agree to Wei Shao for Wall. But if Westbrook is bought out and joins at a base salary, there may indeed be a lot of teams interested in him.
However, because of this, some fans have also questioned the Wizards reporter's vision, believing that if Wei Shao is really bought out, then there may be many teams competing for him, from the perspective of the championship, I am afraid that it will not be the round of the Wizards with average records. And if you consider it emotionally, Wei Shao's return to the Thunder is also a good way out.
But from this rumor, it can also be seen that the outside world believes that Wei Shao is far from worth the salary he can get at present, and even only interested in him in the case of a buyout, which is enough to show how bleak Wei Shao's trading prospects are now.
