With a couple of weeks to go before free agency begins, everything begins to indicate that the Clippers will continue to have Russell Westbrook on their roster; so much so that according to Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report It would already be talking about signing a one-year contract and 3.8 million dollars.
The truth is that in the Californian organization they are really happy with the time they have spent with russ. After arriving as a free player when disassociating himself from the Utah Jazz – a team in which he landed transferred from the Lakers – the 2017 MVP showed himself to be a very important piece of the team, especially in a playoffs in which he had some truly remarkable performances.
It is just that step forward in the postseason that has convinced the Angels. if in normal season he averaged 15.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.9 rebounds, in the first round of the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns he went to 23.6 points, 7.4 assists and 7.6 rebounds.
Although the Clippers fell 4-1 against those from Arizona, they did so leaving a good image and without being able to count on Kawhi Leonard since the second game of the tie, which is why they once again believe that if they put all their pieces together (including Paul George) and avoid injuries, they have a chance to be champion.
