根據金塊隊記者Harrison Wind報導，昨天有傳出Russell Westbrook與金塊隊連結的消息，Wind報導球隊主戰中鋒Nikola Jokic也有在推動此交易發生，而且這不僅是Jokic第一次想要Westbrook加入球隊之中。
記者甚至認為Westbrook會給總教練Michael Malone一個值得信賴的、經驗豐富的持球球員，這正是金塊隊現在所需要的。
Nikola Jokic has pushed behind the scenes for the Nuggets to get Russell Westbrook. This isn’t the first time he’s wanted to play with him in Denver either. Westbrook would give Michael Malone a trusted, veteran ball handler, which is something the Nuggets need right now.

而且快艇隊的記者Joey Linn也同樣證實Jokic推動交易發生這點，金塊隊另外一名DeAndre Jordan也是支持Westbrook來到金塊隊的球員，快艇目前還在探索Westbrook相關交易，最後沒有直接被送往金塊，Westbrook還是非常有可能下賽季為金塊隊效力。

I’m told DeAndre Jordan has also been advocating for what Westbrook could bring Denver on and off the floor.
