Wizards' Bid for Westbrook Reunion Falls Apart as He Retires
Marc Stein reports the Wizards offered Russell Westbrook a two-year return to D.C., but Westbrook balked at the terms/role and halted talks, opting for retirement instead. The piece notes the Wizards’ blend of veterans and young talent and suggests Westbrook could have provided veteran backup at point guard, citing his 15.2 points, 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game with the Kings last season and his prior one-season stint with Washington in 2020-21.
