The Sacramento Kings<\/a> are hoping to become playoff contenders again in the new season, but they\u2019re going to need a little help.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s front office seems hesitant to make big swings in the offseason, so they may only commit to minor adjustments.<\/p>\n

Is one of them the addition of Russell Westbrook?<\/p>\n

According to Jake Fischer, Westbrook will make his way to the Kings this summer, but there is a chance he won\u2019t be in the NBA at all in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kings are the one home for Russell Westbrook if he\u2019s going to be in the NBA at all,\u201d Fischer said, via Fullcourtpass.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Russell Westbrook might not be in the NBA next season, per @JakeLFischer<\/a> <\/p>\n

It sounds like Westbrook has to go with the Kings if he wants to remain in the league.<\/p>\n

The free agent would likely be signed to a vet\u2019s minimum contract, which is a far cry from what he is used to, but the best he can get.<\/p>\n

And would he be a starter or spend more of his time on the bench?<\/p>\n

Westbrook\u2019s role with the Kings isn\u2019t clear, and, again, he would have to accept whatever they put on the table.<\/p>\n

Of course, he could also choose to turn down Sacramento and either sit out until he finds a new team or perhaps even play overseas.<\/p>\n

Westbrook has his problems, but he\u2019s not a bad player.<\/p>\n

His value among teams has certainly diminished over the last few years, partly because he keeps moving around from squad to squad.<\/p>\n

Now, the market for Westbrook is minimal, and he is having to deal with that reality.<\/p>\n

The Kings would gladly take him, and they could help revitalize his career, but Westbrook could balk at their offer.<\/p>\n

If he does, will he have other options?<\/p>\n
