For the sake of mentor, Westbrook voluntarily gave up his salary of 30 million, just to meet two conditions

Westbrook formally discussed the issue of contract renewal with the Nuggets, and the Nuggets' senior executives generously presented him with a two-year salary plan with a total amount of up to $30 million. However, facing this generous contract, Westbrook showed extraordinary humility and overall view. He admitted that compared to the amount of money, what he longed for deep down was the championship trophy symbolizing supreme glory.

Therefore, he made a meaningful proposal to the team: as long as the Nuggets can meet his two conditions, he is willing to accept a basic salary contract that is far below the market price and continue to play for the team. First of all, he eagerly hopes that the team can further optimize the lineup configuration in the upcoming offseason, especially introducing a three-pointer with accurate shooting and trustworthy shooting to enhance the team's outside firepower.

Secondly, he expressed his nostalgia and respect for his former mentor, Coach Ma Long, and hoped that the Nuggets could try to invite this tactical master who once gave him infinite respect and guidance, so that Coach Ma Long's wisdom and experience would once again illuminate the Nuggets' journey.

If the Nuggets can successfully meet these two requirements, Westbrook is willing to continue to wear the Nuggets' jersey with a basic salary of only two million US dollars and contribute his strength to the team. Westbrook's selflessness and sacrifice are undoubtedly touching.

Although he occasionally suffered criticism for impulsive choices on the court, his unparalleled impact and his tenacious fight for frontcourt rebounds have long become a beautiful landscape in the league. What is particularly unforgettable is that in the first match of the Western Conference semi-finals, it was his wonderful pass at a critical moment, assisting Aaron Gordon to hit a winning three-pointer, writing an immortal legend.

Westbrook, a player with both strength and cost-effectiveness, is undoubtedly an indispensable source of vitality for the Nuggets. However, he also needs to realize that improving his three-point shooting ability will be a key step to higher honors. In the days to come, we look forward to Westbrook continuing to write his own brilliant chapter on the Nuggets stage.
