With the season over, at least several roster changes are expected in the summer, and former MVP Russell Westbrook might be on the move.
Vinny Benedetto of the Denver Gazette tried to catch Westbrook in the locker room after Game 7 to ask if he had made a decision about his player option for next season.
However, Westbrook reportedly glanced at his watch and asked what Benedetto was wearing tomorrow. When the beat writer said he did not know, Westbrook simply replied, "Exactly," and walked away.

The Nuggets did not conduct exit interviews following their 4-3 series loss in the second round.
Westbrook, who signed with Denver last summer, averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists over 13 playoff games. The 36-year-old's future with the team remains uncertain.
