On September 24, there is only one month left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. Earlier today, Rockets guard Van Villet suffered an ACL torn, which is likely to be reimbursed for the new season. After Van Vreet was reimbursed, many media called on the Rockets to sign Westbrook, but were opposed by Rockets reporters and others.

NBACentral updated X, posted a photo of the Westbrook Rockets, and asked: "Would Houston give Westbrook another chance?" NBACentral asked.

LakeShowYo updated X, posted a set-up photo of Westbrook's Rockets' Rockets' Rockets' Rockets' Rockets' Rockets', and Durant, and wrote: "Who opposes?"

U.S. media NBA Memes posted a post about Westbrook's situation: "The Rockets want to win and need point guard. I know one person, that is Westbrook, he is still a free agent at the moment..." Then NBA Memes posted Westbrook's monthly data when he partnered with Harden in February 2020, averaging 33.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6 assists, and a shooting percentage of 54.9%.

At the same time, ClutchPoints updated its social media and posted a composite photo of Westbrook joining the Rockets to share with fans.

However, due to the hard salary cap restrictions, the Rockets now have only 1.2 million space and cannot sign any standard contracts. If you want to sign, you can only make some space through the transaction first and then sign.

Rockets reporter Jackson Gatlin expressed: "Putting aside the hard salary cap restrictions, Westbrook will not be the Rockets' answer, stop discussing him."

Another Rockets media, Biased Houston, was even more direct: "William whoever says Westbrook will block whoever he says!"

In the 2024-25 playoffs, Westbrook played 60 regular season games, and averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game. Do you think the Rockets should find a way to get Westbrook? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment section.
