The NBA’s doozy of an offseason is all but complete. It’s the doldrums of August and rosters have fallen into place ahead of the upcoming season. A number of questions remain unanswered, though. One of which is if Russell Westbrook will return for his 19th season. And if so, with who?
As Westbrook turns 38 at the beginning of next season, his availability isn’t the biggest unresolved matter of the offseason. Jalen Duren and Peyton Watson are still in the midst of restricted free agency, while Jonathan Kuminga remains a free agent. Plus, although James Harden is expected to return to the Cavaliers, he remains unsigned after he declined a hefty player option ahead of free agency.
