Westbrook & Oladipo Back in Sacramento | Sacramento Kings News

Russell Westbrook could be headed back to Sacramento — possibly with Victor Oladipo in tow — in a bold move that hinges on the Kings’ creative use of salary cap space. After his departure last season was derailed by luxury tax concerns, Westbrook might now return on a veteran minimum deal, alongside Oladipo, who’s seeking a comeback after a stint away from the league. The Kings waived DeMar DeRozan to free up room, potentially allowing them to sign both veterans without triggering penalties. Westbrook’s mentorship could help young point guard Darius Acuff Jr., while Oladipo’s defensive prowess would complement Acuff’s development — even if Westbrook’s defense isn’t his strength. With two open roster spots and fan support, this duo could be the perfect fit to bolster Sacramento’s bench and guide their rebuild.
