The LA Clippers have re-signed Russell Westbrook to a 2 year, 7.8 million dollar deal. Having been a huge topic and priority for the Los Angeles Clippers off-season, the polarizing future first ballot Hall of Famer Westbrook will now resume his role as the teams’ Starting Point Guard. In addition, the Clippers traded 2 future 2nd round picks for Kenyon Martin Jr. ,who will add much needed youth and athleticism to the front court.
In this episode, die hard Clipper fan and Host Darian Vaziri reacts to Russell Westbrook being back on the team, the signing of K.J. Martin and what it means, and briefly discusses the possibility of a James Harden trade to the Clippers which apparently he is pushing for.

I’m so happy Russ is back!!
Stoked to have Russ back!!
He bolsters so many deficiencies on the Clippers — passing, rebounding, pace & durability
So happy Russ is back, hoping the hype with these off-season moves transfers to a positive start to the regular season (Kawhi and PG stating healthy with minimal load management).
Clippers need James harden. It’s expiring contracts for expiring contract. Clippers have 99 % of winning it all with the BIG 4 .
We don't need Harden he will not fit on the Clippers we would have to give up too much of our depth.
I'm glad Russ is back home and locked in with the Clippers ❤
Doesn't matter who ya get lebron is getting his 5th ring
If you have to trade Mann, Boston, or Bones. No thanks. If it's Morris, Coffey, Preston, and throw in Roco or Nico. I guess get Harden. Idk about giving up Powell unless it was for another big if they don't sign Plumlee or cash so they can grab another free agent.
Russ is back baby! I'm hyped!
I'm not really excited about the possibility of Harden. Maybe they have switched their focus on Lillard???
Plumlee just resigned so I’m loving the moves so far just need to shop Morris now for a stretch big (possibly a Christian Wood or PJ Washington)… But PLEASE leave Harden where he’s at, we’re good as constructed minus Morris.
I am happy Russ is back, especially for 3.8 mil, he's a good PG, fit's the system well. KMJ is a great pickup, only making 1.9 mil, we needed more youth at the 4. As for Harden no f'in way, ball dominant PG who play's absolutely no "D", with Russ back, we don't need him. I wouldn't want him even if we didn't sign Russ. Still more work to be done, need to get rid of Nico and Morris, and dump salary, still over the 2nd apron. Need a 4 and backup 5, I like Mo Bamba over Mason Plumlee, better defender, hopefully they can sign him, and keep away from the fakers.
No market for a low iq, high turnover, inefficient point guard. Clippers were His only option. Let the celebration 🎉 begin!
When the Clippers get Russell Westbrook for the first five games, they were a disaster on the hardwood! Then they find a way to get it all together. It was beautiful to watch them play together. They balled!
Just found out Mason resigned for 5 mil, 1 year only, I'm OK with it. 19 players now on roster, something's up.
DO NOT trade Paul George, Norm Powell or T Mann for James Harden
As someone who’s a fan of basketball overall and not attached to any one team, I’ve tended to follow Westbrook where he’s gone and payed close attention to his teams the most. Having said that I’m happy he stayed with the clippers and I look forward to coming here throughout the ups and downs of the season! Also definitely gonna go to a clippers game and see him play again 🙂
Honestly seeing tmann go somewhere else and ball might be needed, never really got the shine he deserved
CLIP CITY LETS GO DIME!!!!
Terrence Mann is a key piece to have in a championship run, like his buddy Bruce Brown was for the Nuggets and look how valued he became when the league finally took notice, Clips can’t get seduced by the allure of the name and hype of a Harden and should just stick to surrounding the stars they have already with a complimentary supporting cast.
The question was never about his talent, it was about if you can win with Russ, unfortunately that has yet to be true because he can only be effective one way
Nah man harden is not a championship player, i would quit on this team if they traded mann for harden
Having Russ for a full season will give this team an edge
How about Mook/Roco for Tobias? No need to blow it up for Harden.
We have everything we need to make a finals run. The most important component for the clippers is health and durability. Why do we need Harden? We’d be making one of the same mistakes that the nets did when they brought him in. They sacrificed all of their depth for a player with a bunch of baggage, and who was out of shape. Guys like Terrence Mann are not pouting on the bench when they don’t get enough shots. Harden will if he doesn’t get his way. I don’t understand how team after team can reward players that blatantly quit on their teams when things don’t go their way.
Mason Plummly also resigned with the clippers
I’ve been a pg fan for years.. the season pg was in mvp contention, Russ was a big part of that.
I can’t believe he agreed to 2 years. That’s amazing‼️
I don’t know what kj can do defensively, but it can’t be worse than old man morris
I'm a clippers fan okay
