    this is why i dont trust any reporter but woj

    so many speculative idiots got this wrong

  2. Odd_Firefighter_5407

    Russ is washed. He lost the Clippers a game in the Mavs series

  3. I thought yesterday they were just saying he’s looking for a bigger role lol

  4. MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

    Damn presti didnt pick up yet another guard.

  5. No-Yogurt-4246s

    Bro is the epitome of “his game gonna age poorly”

  6. SlamJamGlanda

    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

  7. Not great for Clippers championship aspirations but should be decent in the regular season maybe getting them a couple extra wins.

  8. itshotwhereilive

    After seeing him dancing on stage at Kenny’s show I knew his ass wasn’t leaving LA.. lol

  9. RspectMyAuthoritah

    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.

  10. The other reporter needs to be banned from this sub

  11. why would WB choose to leave LA. It’s his home.

    PG might be staying too, unless WB and PG are getting traded together.

  12. addiconda

    There’s no way he’s showing out in LA with kdot and NOT returning, cmon yall

  13. theflow21

    His agent probably heard from teams that they wouldn’t offer more than a vet minimum contract so opting in makes sense.

  14. need demar to sign the mle so they can listen to not like us for the 6th time.

  15. tayroarsmash

    So long dreams of Westbrook off the bench. I barely knew ya.

  16. Individual_Loan_7771

    What about all the analysts last night and this morning claiming he’s opting out? Where they at 

  17. Double-Slowpoke

    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.

  18. Standard-Inflation10

    Damn now I have to delete all my hate posts

  19. Strong-Piccolo-5546

    this is a good low risk deal for the clippers.

  20. Damn clips need to play some of the youngins next year

  21. Glum_Fudge3404

    Russ a real one.I have always respected Brodi.

  22. Makes sense, he’d basically have to sign for the minimum to even talk to any teams.

    Dude puts the ass in wasshed up

  23. LukaDoncicfuturegoat

    « It’s was obvious that he will leave » lmao

  24. goknicks23

    I don’t think his market was robust as thought it was.

  25. MomsNeighborino

    Mavs gonna clap cheeks once again I suppose

  26. 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

  27. deluchas15

    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. 

  28. BillowingPillows

    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.

  29. domingodlf

    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.

  31. makashiII_93

    Russ: I’m gonna test the market!
    The Market: Nah. We’re good. You’re not a starter.

  32. kitterskills

    $4m? Surely he could make more somewhere else.
