While some big names have already changed teams, there are some other stars still looking for their next home. Among those stars is former MVP Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook is fresh off one season with the Denver Nuggets, where he helped them nearly knock off the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder. After Westbrook declined his player option, he entered unrestricted free agency, but his next destination is still up in the air.
In a recent Bleacher Report article ranking the top free agents still available, Eric Pincus put Westbrook at No. 7 and mentioned the Knicks as a potential landing spot. Pincus wrote that the Knicks could still use an additional point guard, so they could be a natural fit for Westbrook.
Of course, there is still some speculation that Westbrook will end up back in Denver, but for now, there is clearly some traction for the nine-time All-Star to head to New York. The Knicks previously had interest in Westbrook before signing Jordan Clarkson, but considering the skillsets of Westbrook and Clarkson, they could co-exist and give Mike Brown different backcourt styles off the bench.
