After spending a single season with the Denver Nuggets, where will Russell Westbrook head next?
Westbrook could be headed to another Western Conference team, but will he stay there for long?
According to Sam Amick, Westbrook might be packing his bags and moving to the Sacramento Kings.
“Fellow free agents Tyus Jones and Russell Westbrook are also known to be options that the Kings are considering. Free agency formally begins at 6 p.m. Eastern on Monday. Beyond the point guard vacancy, though, league sources say the Kings are open for business when it comes to discussing the various possibilities with their roster,” Amick said, per NBACentral.

The Kings have started to some noise, indicating that they are ready to commit to roster adjustments this summer.
They have made it clear that they want a point guard, and Westbrook could fill that role.
Over the last few years, he has bounced around the league, playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Denver Nuggets.
Will he settle down in Sacramento or only be there for a short term?
Last season, Westbrook produced 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists for the Nuggets.
His playoff performances left something to be desired, but some people said he was a good fit in Denver, but he is open to moving on.
The Kings have a lot of problems, and Westbrook won’t solve all of them.
If they move forward with acquiring him, you can expect to see other changes, too.
This could be a busy offseason for Sacramento, and Westbrook might be just the beginning.
