The recent addition of James Harden to the Clippers through a trade from the 76ers has prompted reactions from various players, including Russell Westbrook, Harden’s former teammate who also plays for the Clippers.

Addressing the development, Westbrook emphasized the necessity of a gradual process for the team to navigate the intricacies of building chemistry with the new addition.

When questioned about the key factors that could contribute to the success of this integration, Westbrook expressed uncertainty, stating, “I don’t have the answer. I don’t predict the future. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

As the Clippers look to establish a cohesive and effective unit with the inclusion of Harden, Westbrook’s cautious approach reflects the understanding that building synergy within a team dynamic requires time and patience.

Harden is still ramping up and is expected to make his Clippers debut against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
