Awesome! Rumors say there's interest in signing Westbrook! This is an NBA championship-winning team.

Congratulations, congratulations in advance.

According to the American media Hoops,the Celtics are keen on signing Westbrook in free agency.

Due to Holiday leaving, the Celtics' guard rotation is now quite stretched, with the anticipated starting five for the upcoming season being Pritchard, White, Jaylen Brown, Boucher, and Kuta.

If Pritchard is confirmed as a starter, it means the only capable guard left for the Celtics' second unit is Anfernee Simons. Although last season with the Trail Blazers he averaged 19.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, shooting 36.3% from three with 3.1 made threes per game, his playing style is more of a shooter and he struggles to take on the role of a primary playmaker.

Therefore, during this summer's offseason, the Celtics have been eager to find a guard who can distribute the ball. In July, some American media reported that Simons would bring his talent to Boston, but that ultimately fell through. Last season, while playing for the Nets, he averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. Although his offense was lacking, his defensive organization remained solid.

After weighing options, Westbrook has become one of the Celtics' most ideal choices in the current free agent market, arguably the only one. Even though he is 36 years old, he still has plenty of energy left. Last season with the Nuggets, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season, and in the playoffs, he posted 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game.

This summer, Westbrook surprisingly declined to exercise his player option for the 25-26 season, becoming an unrestricted free agent. However, no team has shown interest so far. The Kings were the most likely to sign him, but after failing to make a sign-and-trade deal with the Warriors for Kuminga to free up cap space, they lost the opportunity to bring him to Sacramento.

Now, the Celtics are in urgent need of players and face almost no performance pressure for the new season. In short, Westbrook has a chance to join this 2024 championship-winning team. If he seizes it, he can make an NBA comeback; otherwise, he may have to continue his career overseas or announce retirement...

There are no eternal legends, only veterans gradually fading away. Best wishes.
