Westbrook signed a new contract with Oklahoma worth $ 85.6 million for three years. However, he can pull out from the deal after the second year and become a free agent after the 2017-2018 season. But this is a bit of a surprising move.
After Kevin Durant shocked the NBA world and signed with Golden State, speculators thought Westbrook will leave Oklahoma before the upcoming season.
However, last month the team transferd their guard Dion Waiters to Miami, allowing the Thunder to offer Russell Westbrook a maximum contract. Although basketball player could get more if he had waited until the end of the next season, in fact, he will make more in the long run, thanks to the huge raise, which he will receive.
After re-signing, the income of the basketball star rose from $ 17.8 to $ 26.5 million. For the 2017-2018 season he will make $ 28.5 million and $ 30.6 more if he decides to stay until the end of his contract.
