Recently, former NBA player Danny Green talked about Westbrook on his channel "Danny Green x Inside the Green Room".

Speaking of Westbrook's current job, he said: "In my opinion, Westbrook chose to jump out of the contract himself, but did not find a next home in advance, which was even more out of the box. He had a player option in the Nuggets, but decided to jump out of the contract. I thought he had a guarantee or had already negotiated with other teams, so he dared to jump out of the contract. As far as I know, the Nuggets had no plans to let him play this season, and even his appearance pick would be below some players who should be behind him. But even so, you will still accept that guaranteed contract, and then either ask the team to trade you or accept other arrangements. You will choose to take the guaranteed money unless you are very sure that you have another certain position."

During this offseason, Westbrook rejected the $3.5 million player option next season and became a full free agent.
