What about the basic salary? Westbrook’s three achievements in the new season are about to top the list in history!

Throughout the offseason, perhaps one topic that fans are concerned about is where Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook, who have become brothers in trouble, will go. Since he has not received a new contract, the topic even changed from which team he was signed to to staying in the NBA. And just last week, some media revealed that the Chinese CBA team had offered Westbrook an extremely attractive contract. This has led many fans and media to believe that Westbrook may end his NBA career and continue his playing career overseas.

Fortunately, everything has settled. Not long ago, Westbrook successfully reached an agreement with the Sacramento Kings, which had been rumored before, and became a member of the team with a one-year basic salary of US$3.6 million. Although this contract is not large, with various top-level contracts and many endorsements off the court, the amount of compensation is no longer a problem. And don’t forget that Dennis Schroder and Domantas Sabonis of this team were once Westbrook’s younger brothers in the Thunder. DeMar DeRozan, one of the core players, is Westbrook’s good brother, so his career with the Kings may bring a lot of surprises. Let's look forward to Westbrook's situation next season and see what records he will have waiting for him as he has basically entered the last year of his career!

Reach the top of the point guard scoring titles, and the record is just around the corner.

First of all, there is an achievement that Westbrook is likely to achieve next season, which is to become the first point guard in history to become the leading scorer. Currently, this record is held by the legendary superstar "Big O" Oscar Robertson, with a total of 26,710 points. Since Westbrook entered the NBA in 2008, he has held two scoring titles and has excellent scoring ability. His current career total points accumulation has reached 26,205 points, which is only 505 points away from Robertson's record.

Last season, while playing for the Nuggets, he still averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game, scoring a total of 994 points. As long as he can maintain his form last season and stay healthy, he will surpass his great predecessors and reach the top of the list in history. And coincidentally, Westbrook surpassed Big O in the past and became the first triple-double king in history. In addition, Big O is a legend of the Kings. Therefore, when he plays for the Kings next season, he has a great opportunity to pay the highest respect to his predecessor.

Consolidate the throne of the Triple Double King and continue to set new records.

Let’s talk about Westbrook’s biggest impression on fans so far in his career, and that is his all-around skills. So far, his career triple-doubles have reached 202 times. He is the only player in the NBA who can break the 200-time mark on the triple-double list. The second-ranked Big O is 21 times behind Westbrook. And even Nikola Jokic, who is currently closest to Westbrook and is still playing, is still 38 times behind.

As the Nuggets have completed the upgrade of their lineup this season, Jokic will most likely not be as full-out in the regular season as he was last season, but will retain his strength to prepare for the playoffs. Therefore, Jokic's pursuit of Westbrook will slow down a lot. And considering that even if he becomes a substitute, Westbrook still contributed 4 triple-doubles to the Nuggets last season, so when the overall lineup is weak, Westbrook may get more ball possessions, which will be a big help for him to continue to improve his triple-double record.

The total data has been greatly improved, and we continue to pursue greatness.

Finally, let’s talk about Westbrook’s other records. His personal score is expected to reach 27,000 points, thus surpassing legendary stars such as Paul Pierce and Tim Duncan, and reaching the 14th place in history. As for the number of rebounds, according to his statistics of a total of 370 rebounds last season, he is also expected to break the 9,000 mark next season. Not to mention assists, which has reached 9,925 times. He will become the eighth player in NBA history to reach the 10,000 mark. If he maintains his form last season, he can even surpass Magic Johnson and Mark Jackson respectively and become the sixth person on the historical assist list.

Then there is the steal list. He has reached 1,956 times so far, and he also has a chance to break the 2,000 mark. Therefore, no matter what the Kings' record is next season, Westbrook's data will be further improved, and as a future member of the Hall of Fame, his historical status will be further enhanced.
