Tielin: If Westbrook is willing to accept the role of mentor, there will definitely be a team who wants it, but it will be difficult for former superstars to do it.

Recently, former NBA player Danny Green talked about Westbrook on his channel "Danny Green x Inside the Green Room".
He said: "Those players over 35 years old, if you are not Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant, it will be difficult to stay in the league. The team knows that these veterans usually have strong self-esteem, are unwilling to accept basic salary contracts, and are eager to join the championship team, but it is very difficult to meet all these conditions at the same time. At present, if it is a weak team, he should of course have a chance. There are 30 teams in the league, and there should always be a team willing to sign Westbrook, and even the Utah Jazz or other teams can use his veteran leadership."
" You have to accept such a role - willing to sit on the bench and guide young players to grow. I think if Westbrook could accept this, he would definitely be able to join such a team. But most of the players who were once stars of this level and had a strong sense of self-esteem, and would have difficulty retreating to the second line at the end of their career, saying, "I am willing to not play at all, just help these young people improve." Because of this, his situation is even more difficult. This also makes me feel that Westbrook chose to break out of the contract without having a clear alternative, which is more rash than the decisions of the team managers."
