Russell Westbrook Would Love To Remain A Clipper
2 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook stated he "would love" to remain with the team. Yet, he's also embracing the idea of entering free agency, so he hasn't decided what the future holds. The 34-year-old began the season with the Lakers, playing 52 games. But after he was traded to Utah, he accepted a buyout and found his way back to LA to become a member of the Clippers. Westbrook played well in 21 games with the club. However, he shined in the postseason, averaging 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.4 steals. It doesn't appear the Clippers can afford to keep the 2017 MVP, especially since he'll command a sizeable salary in free agency. That said, Westbrook should continue to provide statistical contributions in many areas for fantasy managers no matter where he ends up, although his shooting percentages need to improve.
