Russell Westbrooks departure from the Denver Nuggets after a successful season has left the team reeling, as they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Westbrook, who averaged impressive stats and was a reliable presence in the rotation, was not re-signed after declining his player option. The teams front office reportedly did not want him back, and his absence was felt as the Nuggets struggled in the playoffs. Fans and analysts have criticized the teams decision to let Westbrook go, particularly in light of other moves that did not pan out, such as signing Christian Braun and bringing back Bruce Brown. The Nuggets now face uncertain questions heading into the offseason, wondering if letting Westbrook go cost them a deeper playoff run.
