Report: Westbrook expected to accept 5-year extension from OKC
Unlike the last MVP from OKC, Russell Westbrook likely isn't going anywhere.
The Oklahoma City Thunder plan to offer the newly crowned MVP a five-year extension shortly after midnight on July 1, and it's widely expected that Westbrook will accept, sources told ESPN.
Westbrook will presumably receive the designated player exception, which is worth over $200 million across five seasons. Signing such a contract would make him one of the highest-paid NBA players of all time.
REAL MVP!
