No interest for Westbrook? Was wondering if he was going to sign with a team.

Knicks were the early rumor but then they signed Clarkson for peanuts. Kings were an early and current rumor but idk if he's not interested or what.littlerock2277 wrote:No interest for Westbrook? Was wondering if he was going to sign with a team.
Outside of that just random writers throwing names out.

I'm not mad at this list. The three most prominent RFA's are on there. Gonna be an interesting wrinkle to see how that gets addressed when the next CBA comes out. Wonder if they scale the NBA age entrance back to 18 to persuade players to enter the draft after high school so they could get to that second NBA contract sooner instead of staying in college for three years because of the NIL deals they could get.
Also, I wonder why someone hasn't tried to sign Charles Bassey yet. A lot of teams could do worse than him as their 2nd/3rd Center.

Probably because Bassey's knees have imploded basically every season at some point. He is a solid 3rd C in a pinch but the dude just cannot stay healthy unfortunately

Good point. Still worth the minimum to see if he can stay healthy for a year.

Bassey has been playing Summer League for Boston and has a good chance of making the team imo. C's are really lacking bigs this season so it's a good fit. He's been really good in Vegas and says he's healthy for the first time in a while.

Damn that’s sad didn’t think he was bad last season. But I can see the issues of teams signing him.

I honestly don't think he would be a bad backup at all to Trae i think our 2nd group has alot of talent that he could work with. It's not like we have a good enough backup PG on the team as it sits anyways.
We need a legit talented backup PG and a 3rd vet big and i'll feel really good about the hawks.

Its not the right Jordan and its not the right Butler. But they are younger, cheaper and they can help the Suns.
