There have been rumblings about Sacramento Kings point guard Russell Westbrook being wronged by the Denver Nuggets organization. He was playing well for the Nuggets.
Russell Westbrook says the Nuggets told him not to pick up his player option: “The truth is that they didn’t want me back… They don’t want me. That’s OK. Somebody else do… They told me not to [pick it up]… I don’t go anywhere I’m not wanted.”

He is one of the greatest point guards of all time. He is a good player who did not deserve this treatment.
