Russell Westbrook is an NBA legend and still productive. But he's also having a very hard time finding a new NBA home.

Westbrook is coming off a down season with the Lakers. He struggled to find his shot all season, averaging 18.5 points per game, one of the lowest totals of his career.

Options are dwindling, and the point guard, a giant figure in the NBA in recent years, remains without a team heading into the new season.

This season has been the lowest point of Russell Westbrook’s career. What was supposed to be a glorious homecoming for the Los Angeles, California, native has quickly become a complete disaster.

In his last outing against Dallas, Westbrook had a team-high 2 steals. His 1.1 steals per game rank fifth among Clippers players, while his 6.2 rebounds are second only to Zubac's 9.3.

A defense that very much limited Luka Doncic in the first and third quarters. "Ain't too many people defending better than me at this point, if we're keeping it honest," Westbrook said.

With Westbrook on the floor, Denver ranks third in pace in the NBA. Without him that figure drops to 23rd. Most importantly, Westbrook is impacting winning, belying his late career reputation.
