The Los Angeles Clippers are sending guard Russell Westbrook, a second-round pick swap and cash to the Utah Jazz in a sign-and-trade agreement for guard Kris Dunn.
Ready to see a disgruntled Harden requesting a trade to the Knicks after Leonard will miss a couple of important games they will lose.
Russell Westbrook draws a charge and lies on the floor, screaming into the camera overhead.
Thanks for being the only consistent player the past 2 seasons. We didn’t get All-Star Brodie but we got a tough as nails grit dude who inspired his teammates and played with more heart than anybody else.
One of the biggest heart players ever whose biggest fault is not being strategic at times joining one of the top 3 cerebral minds in the history of the game, how could it not work?

If he can just soak up some regular season possessions taking ball handling to keep Jokic/Murray fresher and give us some bench scoring for the couple minutes Jokic is off in the playoffs it’s a win.

yeah as long as you have 4 other shooters out there I think russ is still a viable player. and since you have Jokic and Saric as shooting bigs you should be able to do that fairly often. Could also use him as a dunker like a mini-AG or Bruce Brown with less shooting.
