Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook may encounter a tight market in the event he opts out of his current deal and becomes a free agent. "I can't see another team doing it, but I never thought we would do it," one Nuggets source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne about the idea of signing Westbrook.

Now throw that context into the career of a 17-year veteran like the Denver Nuggets' Russell Westbrook. The explosive, still useful, and still volatile guard is a no-doubt future Basketball Hall of Famer. However, he has yet to win an NBA championship at 36 years old, and you have to imagine that's quite frustrating in itself.
