The Sacramento Kings looked to be on pace to add Russell Westbrook in free agency, which is no longer the case.

Westbrook could provide a spark off the bench for New York. In 75 appearances with the Nuggets last season, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from three-point territory.

Despite not having a head coach in place yet following the firing of Tom Thibodeau, the New York Knicks are preparing for a pivotal NBA free agency period.
