The Clippers decided to make a bold move by signing Russell Westbrook after he agreed to a buyout with the Jazz.
Since then the team has lost all three games and is now balancing on the play-in zone. With 33 wins and 31 losses Los Angeles is sixth in the Western Conference.
An anonymous NBA executive says that he fears the Clippers much less since they added the former league MVP.
Via John Hollinger of The Athletic:
“Actually, I fear them much less now,” said one exec, who was granted anonymity so that he could speak freely. (Also, um … didn’t they already try this two years ago with Rajon Rondo? How’d that work out?)
Westbrook, who is a starter on the Clippers, is averaging 16 points, 5.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists in 31 minutes per game for his new team.
