Imagine being offered $207 million and not signing on the dotted line.

That’s exactly what Oklahoma City Thunder superstar and reigning NBA MVP Russell Westbrook has done this summer. It has been nearly two months since Brodie was offered the mega-deal under the new designated veteran player extension rules, yet he has not yet agreed to it.

Not only would he join a slew of other superstar point guards to sign a super-max deal this offseason along with Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, James Harden of the Houston Rockets and John Wall of the Washington Wizards, but Westbrook would become the highest-paid player in NBA history if he agreed to the new contract.

The deadline for him to sign the deal is the last day before the regular season starts (October 16), and, as Royce Young of ESPN explains, there is some growing anxiety in Oklahoma City about why he hasn’t yet signed the massive extension.

“The Thunder's offer is on the table, and has been for some time. As Thunder GM Sam Presti said in July, this isn't really a negotiation. Either Westbrook takes it, or he doesn't. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Westbrook hasn't delivered an official answer -- either a yes or a no. Though the chatter and anxiety might be steadily increasing, nothing has tangibly changed,” Young wrote.

As it stands right now, Westbrook will make $28,530,608 this season and holds a player option of $30,521,115 for 2018-2019. Therefore, if he doesn’t sign the extension, he could still receive the same extension next summer based on his NBA service time, but he would make the Thunder fan base and front office extremely anxious in the process, as the threat of losing him and newcomer Paul George with no compensation could end up being a sad reality.

A day after OKC’s Game 5 loss to the Houston Rockets in the playoffs, Westbrook was asked about the possibility of him signing an extension. He replied, “Obviously, everybody knows that I like Oklahoma City and I love being here. I love everybody here. But I haven’t even thought about that.”

Teammate Enes Kanter previously told reporters that he believes Westbrook will finish his career with the Thunder. “One thing I saw about him is he’s a loyal guy,” Kanter told Erik Horne of NewsOK. “I understand he’s from L.A., he loves L.A., he goes to L.A. every summer, but he’s a loyal player. I think he’s gonna finish his career in Oklahoma City.”

While Westbrook has been tied to Los Angeles since he was born and raised in California, starred at UCLA in college and has spent time there in the offseason, he has also become known as the man who carried an entire city on his back following Kevin Durant’s departure.

Therefore, not only would Westbrook let down Oklahoma City if he decided to leave and play for either Los Angeles team, but his legacy as someone who defines loyalty might also be thrown out the window in the process.
