Westbrook signs 5-year deal on Durant's birthday


Russell Westbrook signed a $205 M contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder. As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, 'The Brodie' earlier today signed the contract with OKC, by making it the richest contract in NBA history.
Westbrook's agent Thad Foucher and GM Sam Presti finalized it today. The extension has been signed and delivered to the league office. What's interesting about the contract is the date. Kevin Durant's 29th birthday; Russell Westbrook signs richest deal in the history. Westbrook will also be 34 in 2022-2023, the last year of the deal, the same age Dwayne Wade was in 2015-2016 when his contract expired with Miami.

The 2017 MVP capped off an incredible season last year, as he was the second player to average a triple-double. After the Carmelo Anthony and Paul George trades, the Thunder this year will try to compete and challenge the Warriors in the Western Conference.
