Ahead of the official start of NBA free agency—Monday, June 30 at 6 p.m. ET—NBA insider Marc Stein has shared an interesting tidbit regarding forthcoming free agent Russell Westbrook, who earlier in June declined his 2025–26 player option with the Denver Nuggets.
According to Stein and his colleague Jake Fischer, the New Orleans Pelicans, New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves are said to be among the teams "in the market for veteran guards" this offseason. And to that end, the Knicks are "said to be a possible destination" for Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook.
