Recently, Kendrick Perkins said on his show that he thinks the Bucks should consider signing Russell Westbrook to strengthen their backcourt.

Perkins said that only one team, the Kings, is really interested in Westbrook this offseason, but he thinks the Bucks should have contacted and signed Westbrook a long time ago, because the Bucks lost Lillard, the backcourt has been weakened significantly, and Westbrook, a veteran, can stabilize the team and give the team an advantage.

Perkins emphasized that Westbrook is no longer the triple-double machine he once was, but he's still a dynamic player who can speed up the game and create scoring opportunities for his teammates with his impact at the rim. The reason he is not on the camp roster for the first time in 15 years is not because of poor play, but because of the unfair "vampire" reputation in Los Angeles.
