this is why i dont trust any reporter but woj
so many speculative idiots got this wrong
Let’s fucking go Clips!!
Russ is washed. He lost the Clippers a game in the Mavs series
I thought yesterday they were just saying he’s looking for a bigger role lol
Damn presti didnt pick up yet another guard.
Bro is the epitome of “his game gonna age poorly”
Yeah doesn’t he like it there/its near family? Unless it’s a team decision I wouldn’t think he’d want to leave at this point in his career
Azarly = fraud
Good for him
MITWestbrook lives
Thank you Kendrick
honestly, it’s an overpay at this point.
Brickkkkk
Not great for Clippers championship aspirations but should be decent in the regular season maybe getting them a couple extra wins.
Thought he’d be out of the league this year.
After seeing him dancing on stage at Kenny’s show I knew his ass wasn’t leaving LA.. lol
Wasn’t there the report just the other day that he wasn’t going to pick up his option? So many reporters just making shit up.
The other reporter needs to be banned from this sub
why would WB choose to leave LA. It’s his home.
PG might be staying too, unless WB and PG are getting traded together.
There’s no way he’s showing out in LA with kdot and NOT returning, cmon yall
His agent probably heard from teams that they wouldn’t offer more than a vet minimum contract so opting in makes sense.
need demar to sign the mle so they can listen to not like us for the 6th time.
So long dreams of Westbrook off the bench. I barely knew ya.
What about all the analysts last night and this morning claiming he’s opting out? Where they at
His per 36 numbers aren’t so bad if he can get back to his 2022-2023 post trade efficiency. His contract is perfectly fine for his role. He’s only a net negative if he were still on his veteran extension. $4M for a rotation guy is a great deal.
Damn now I have to delete all my hate posts
this is a good low risk deal for the clippers.
Damn clips need to play some of the youngins next year
Russ a real one.I have always respected Brodi.
Makes sense, he’d basically have to sign for the minimum to even talk to any teams.
Dude puts the ass in wasshed up
« It’s was obvious that he will leave » lmao
I don’t think his market was robust as thought it was.
Mavs gonna clap cheeks once again I suppose
Fuck
Crazy how he will get $4m yet you have other role players signing 4-5 years for $80-100m. Yes, they are younger but stats wise probably all look about the same
Yay. That’s good news. I think he loves playing there. I feel like he always looks so happy. He has a lot of energy when he plays there too.
There isn’t a market for him. Extremely difficult player to add to a roster. Young teams don’t need him taking minutes from young guys, contending teams don’t want to risk his inefficient play hurting them. He is a very unique fit. The clippers are honestly the only team where it’s a good fit.
I used to pray for times like this
The level of denial around westbrook that still remains after so many seasons of terrible play is insane to me. The dude is maybe the most negatively impactful offensive player in the league that’s getting a significant role right now. He’s grossly inefficient, incredibly turnover prone, and his mere existence on the court immediately means the defense has a very clear and very easily executable defensive gameplan, that leads to absolutely embarrassing possessions. As much of a dawg as everyone says he is, he is absolutely nonexistent offball, which is crucial for a role player. And even his defense is hugely overrated nowadays. He’s good and he hustles a lot on defense now. But so many players do that same thing to the same or a better level and they don’t absolutely destroy your offense.
Brick building isn’t needed in earthquake prone areas.
