I support the Clippers when they had John Wall. I don’t care about them now.
John Wall replaced by Westbrook, again.
Phew
We’re safe.
edit: lol I’m listening to today’s Bill Simmons pod and he says that the Wizards are the top prospect to sign Westbrook. Aged like milk almost immediately.
I’m a big Russ fan, and I am so glad he’s not coming here 😅
(also, it’s good for his family to finish the year in LA I’m guessing)
Westbrook stans, do your thing! Clippers fans obnoxiously thinking every offensive play should run through Ivica Zubac, lmao
We dodged a bullet. Man, I surprisingly enjoyed the Russ experience that one year.
Never wanted to do it again
Jesus Allah Buddha I love you all
Clips guaranteed not winning shit now
Thanks Clippers!
Westbrook, as a off the bench guy at LA, was alright.
If he focuses on distributing the ball, pushing the pace, and focus on defense, he will be good 15-20 min bench player.
Can he accept this role? Will see.
Same as John Wall. I wish they both accept who they are now, and continue longer NBA career.
Time to be a clippers fan
Dude is more about his family than he is basketball (there is absolutely nothing wrong w/ that.) Wasn’t a chance in hell he was gonna leave LA to go across the country to DC again. He’s an upgrade over John Wall, so we’ll have to see how he fits in to what the Clippers want.
He needs to retire
Sort of new to the nba trading game.
Could someone maybe explain – how is this trade or change of teams different enough so that it is not affected by the trade deadline that has already passed?
