Hapoel Tel Aviv is planning to make a never-before-seen offer in an attempt to convince Russell Westbrook to play in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>After winning the EuroCup, the Israeli club will play in the EuroLeague and is looking to build a competitive roster. Last season, Hapoel brought Patrick Beverley to Europe, but he is nowhere near Westbrook&#8217;s level.<\/p>\n<p>The Denver Nuggets player is one of the top 20 scorers of all time in the NBA. He is also a former MVP (2017) and a nine-time All-NBA Team member. Throughout his career, Westbrook has earned $345,897,096 from NBA contracts alone. However, in July 2024, he signed a two-year, $6.8 million contract with the Nuggets\u2014one of the lowest figures of his career given his age and current standing.<\/p>\n<p>In the EuroLeague, $5 million is waiting for Vasilije Micic, who will return to Europe after an unsuccessful stint in the NBA. Other EuroLeague stars earn between \u20ac2 million and \u20ac3 million, with rare exceptions slightly above \u20ac3 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports from Serbia suggest that Hapoel Tel Aviv has made an offer for Westbrook that is &#8220;unprecedented in Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":410395,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199,255,399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-445139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-israel","category-nba"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/russell-westbrook-nuggets-denver.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445139"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=445139"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=445139"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=445139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
