here’s my opinion: there’s ways the Westbrook thing can work. there’s ways it won’t. I guess we’ll see what happens. (but if I’m a Clippers fan I’m a lot more nervous now than before the ASB) – 12:11 PM

Featured last week @TheAthletic what the different point guard fits around Paul George and Kawhi Leonard have looked like. Wall was the toughest regular season fit, and also the bar to measure Russell Westbrook’s by after All-Star break.

What does Russell Westbrook do when Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have the ball?
With Harden in Houston, the answer was “nothing.”
With LeBron in LA, the answer was “nothing.”
If the answer is “nothing” again with the Clippers, they’ve needlessly made themselves a worse team. – 11:50 AM

Russell Westbrook going to the Clippers just further cleared the 6MOY path for Malcolm Brogdon imo.
With Westbrook and Bones Hyland now Clippers, I imagine Norm Powell’s volume is about to go down. Powell’s still in the running, but this is nice for Brogdon bettors. – 11:22 AM

I’ll say this about Russell Westbrook to the Clippers – it makes LAC one of the more interesting teams in the league. It should be a fascinating finish to the 2022-23 season. – 11:13 AM

Westbrook is such a risky signing. I wouldn’t have done it if I’m LA, but given their playmaking needs, shooting in place and him being motivated, it CAN work. – 11:00 AM

Opting not to sign a point guard (Westbrook or otherwise) is a positive sign for Lowry’s eventual return. – 12:17 PM

More on this storyline
Law Murray: League source confirms to @TheAthletic that Russell Westbrook is headed to LA today to take a physical. Expectation is that he will start with Clippers, but it may not be right away. Official signing likely won’t happen until 48 hours after Utah Jazz waive Westbrook. -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / February 20, 2023
Bobby Marks: At the time of the buyout, Westbrook had $13.2M left on his contract. He will sign for the prorated veteran minimum ($784,914 if signed on Wednesday). The Clippers have added since the trade deadline: Eric Gordon, Bones Hyland, Mason Plumlee and now Westbrook. -via Twitter @BobbyMarks42 / February 20, 2023
Tomer Azarly: Buddy Hield was asked who he wants to see a ring most besides himself: “Russell Westbrook. He’s a good dude man. I think people give him a lot of crap. He’s a Hall-of-Famer, I feel like people don’t give him the respect that he deserves.” -via Twitter / February 18, 2023
