It is certain now that Russell Westbrook will not be playing for the Los Angeles Clippers to start the 2024–25 NBA season.
Sadly, the day the front management approved a trade for James Harden, his time with the franchise came to an end.
Westbrook’s play decreased greatly as a result of having to return to the bench.
Russ’s exit is really a formality when you consider his recent social media activities, which has Clippers fans worried. While
some fans may still find it difficult to watch him go, it is probably for the best that he did, as the Clippers’ roster is
considerably deeper today and new talent is on the horizon.
As we already know, a few clubs have the potential to contenders for a Westbrook exchange. If he does not find a partner, the
Clippers are willing to just waive him. However, if a trade is still possible, the Denver Nuggets are the team that steps up to
be a partner in making a transaction happen.
Malone said the Nuggets still need a backup point guard
The Nuggets were reportedly “the front runner” to sign Westbrook, according to a Shams Charania article. However, Denver
Head Coach Michael Malone recently hinted that a deal might be closer than anticipated. Malone talked about the Nuggets’
current roster needs during his ESPN appearance.
He brought up the need for a backup point guard for the club. “Somebody to play behind Jamal Murray,” declared the head
coach who had won championships. “[General Manager] Calvin Booth is all over it.”
It sounds like Denver is now working on a deal to acquire Westbrook. As the Clippers attempt to move past the former MVP,
this is undoubtedly something to keep an eye on in the days to come.
