Four breaking news overnight: Westbrook signed with the Kings, Super Six retired at the age of 32, the youngster renewed his contract for 5 years and 140 million

On October 16th, there was a lot of breaking news in the NBA in the past night. Westbrook signed with the Kings, Super Six retired at the age of 32, the young player renewed his contract for 140 million in 5 years, and there is also news about Zeng Fanbo. Let’s take a closer look below. Let’s talk about Westbrook first. Just today, famous reporter Shams reported that Westbrook agreed to join the Kings on a one-year contract. Later, multiple reporters confirmed the news. According to famous reporter Stein, Westbrook’s salary is 3.6 million per year, a veteran’s minimum salary contract. In this way, the NBA career of 9-time All-Star Westbrook can continue.

Westbrook played in the Nuggets last season. He originally had a one-year player option, but he declined it at the beginning of the off-season. However, the subsequent job search was bumpy. Except for the Kings, other teams were not interested in him. Westbrook also missed the training camp for the first time in his career. Many people even believed that he might play in the CBA. But just today, good news came from Westbrook, which is definitely exciting for Westbrook fans. Although Westbrook is getting further and further away from the championship, one less game of his is worth watching, so cherish it.

Let’s talk about another piece of news about the Knicks. Just today, Knicks guard Brogdon suddenly announced his retirement. The 32-year-old guard, a former Super Sixth Man, winner of the Sixth Man of the Year and Rookie of the Year, suddenly left the NBA. According to reports, the Knicks signed a training camp contract with Brogdon this year. Although he has not yet become a permanent member, there is a high probability that he will eventually stay. But for some unknown reason, Brogdon suddenly chose to retire, which surprised everyone, including the Knicks.

Let’s talk about Zeng Fanbo. Just today, the Nets officially announced that the team has waived forward Zeng Fanbo. Zeng Fanbo previously signed an E10 contract with the Nets, and then got a chance to play in the first game of the China League. He played for 10 minutes and did not take a shot. In the second game, Zeng Fanbo was DNP and did not get any chance. At that time, many people predicted that Zeng Fanbo would be laid off. As expected, less than a week later, the news finally came. Zeng Fanbo is currently recovering and training in the United States. His next plan has not been announced, but according to the rules, he still retains the possibility of playing for the G League Long Island Nets.

Finally, let’s talk about the Kings. Just today, the Kings announced that the team had signed an early contract extension with young player Keegan Mureda. The contract was specifically worth 140 million over five years, which shocked everyone. Keegan Murray is just a young player for the Kings. He averaged only 12.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season, and his three-point shooting percentage was 34.3%, which is relatively mediocre. Keegan Murray is still recovering from injury. He suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb on October 13 and will undergo surgery. He is expected to be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks.

Many people say that there is a reason why the Kings have been bad for so many years. I really don’t know what they think about giving such a little-known role player a big contract of 140 million, and it is a five-year contract. Keegan Murray is the No. 4 pick in the first round of the 2022 class. He did play well in his rookie season and has the potential to grow into a top 3D player like Klay Thompson. He averaged 12.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game and shot 41.1% from three-point range. He was also selected to the All-Rookie First Team. However, in the following two seasons, his efficiency declined, his status fluctuated, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped by 7 percentage points. However, he was able to renew his contract in advance and get such a large contract. It really makes him laugh out of his dreams!
