Russell Westbrook to take time with decision on his future
Adrian Wojnarowski: Russell Westbrook’s going to take his time at least I think through this week through the start of the All-Star break to continue talking with the Jazz about what it might look like there and getting a sense of what might be available to him in the buyout market.

Nico Batum had an interesting perspective when asked about Russell Westbrook and whether Batum, like PG and Marcus Morris, feels he could help the Clippers.
Batum said his experience going from Charlotte to LA told him that players can still find their way in a new situation. pic.twitter.com/7UcXnDM43F – 1:27 PM

It was a good practice for Clippers yesterday with new guys, according to Batum, as the team integrated Eric Gordon, Mason Plumlee, and Bones Hyland.
Those 3 have short amount of time to establish themselves while Clippers evaluate Russell Westbrook.

The new trio of trade acquisition Clippers are debuting under unique circumstances.
LA is playing 8 straight games vs good West teams, Paul George made it clear that Russell Westbrook should be considered, and interest remains mutual.

Could Russell Westbrook offer the boost of energy the Chicago Bulls need to close this season?
Billy Donovan didn’t comment on the Bulls’ potential pursuit of Westbrook on the buyout market, but he praised his former OKC guard: “He’s a great competitor.” chicagotribune.com/sports/bulls/c… – 8:03 PM

For the 2nd straight season, injuries have thrust Ayo Dosunmu into starting. He believes he has grown as a point guard.
So how does Dosunmu take the Bulls’ potential pursuit of veteran PGs like Russell Westbrook or Patrick Beverley?

More on this storyline
Farbod Esnaashari: Nicolas Batum with kind words for Russell Westbrook: “I was tagged as the worst player in the NBA before I got here. Some situations work for you, some don’t. It doesn’t define you as a player. It can’t reflect his whole career because of what happened the last 18 months.” -via Twitter @Farbod_E / February 15, 2023
Law Murray: Add Nicolas Batum to the chorus of support for Russell Westbrook in the case that he becomes available. Batum empathizes with Westbrook based off of how Batum was perceived after his tenure in Charlotte. -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / February 14, 2023
FoxSportsRadio: NEW #thisleague UNCUT, @ChrisBHaynes tells @TheSteinLine that Bulls coach Billy Donovan has already conveyed a backchannel desire to reunite with Russell Westbrook should Westbrook secure a buyout from Utah and become a free agent. -via Twitter / February 14, 2023
