[Shams] The Los Angeles Clippers have began conversations with Russell Westbrook, sources tell me and @LawMurrayTheNU. Clippers received permission to speak to Westbrook and talks have started among franchise officials.

This is going to be awful.
welp. i guess we’re just along for the ride now
Goodbye season. Thanks PG for making us unwatchable
New era has begun
Some of y’all over reacting. It’s the same as Wall basically, and having Wall did not end our season either. Y’all the same MFers bitching in the second quarter of the game thread on Tuesday I bet too.
Wouldn’t even be afraid of this if we had any other coach. Ty Lue is gonna play him 30 mins a night
As long as both sides are clear about the role, then whatever. It’s a minimum and we don’t lose anyone.
Knowing Lawrence Frank’s reservations about Russ, I would hope the understanding is clear.
He’s a pure chaos agent. That could turn a game around.
Clowns
We’re actually gonna DNP Bones for this shit
If he becomes a Clipper and you dont initially support him/give him a chance then shame on you. At the end of the day, hes a buyout guy and he can ride the pine if he doesn’t fit well. At least hes healthy
The Mook and Russ show is about to begin folks. Replace those stupid PG and Kawhi banners. A new band is in town! 🙂
Biggest question is if he’ll be a locker room cancer if he doesn’t play. But he’s a contract buyout – it won’t cost us much. He’s seemingly been professional in every locker room he’s been in.
I think it’s a low risk, high reward opportunity.
There’s a role for him here.
Just as I was getting excited for Bones and Gordon lol
I think PG and Ty have to be held responsible if this costs us the season. At the same time we should be grateful to them if it does work out
PG has too many friends
Right or wrong, support our fucking team people. Bunch of bitch ass fans around here. Starting to sound like the gawwdamn laker sub around this bitch. Some of you fans weren’t even alive to watch the shit show of a team I supported during the late 80s, early 90s. Ride or die you bunch of punks.
The convo: “it’s not you, it’s us”
I don’t want this, but I’ll obviously support the move unless it’s officially trash.
My main concern is that because Russ seemingly has a couple of options, our FO might have to make certain commitments about his role/minutes. This might make it harder to stick him at the end of the bench if the fit isn’t good.
Still if it happens we can hopefully treat him better as a fan base than the lakers did and hopefully he will perform better when surrounded by competent shooters
We knew this though, he’s also talking with Bulls, Wizards and others. Is this new info?
They better not promise him 30 minutes a game.
I hope he goes to the bulls, they need some help
Sigh. I’ll just hope for the best
“THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT”
Look, if it doesn’t work out, we should package PG and Westbrook in a deal and ship them to OKC for Shai
If this doesn’t work then we’re trading you PG. no more games mf
why not?
he’s our 5th guard. people here need to relax.
Man we all watched Reggie toy with Westbrook in the 4 games against the lakers last year. Outplayed him every game, literally fucking with him in one of them. I don’t mind signing low risk buyout guy, but it just makes me miss Reggie
PG: now if we fuck up in the playoffs they’ll blame Russ!
If we sign Russ and have to play Denver in the postseason then Reggie is going to personally drop 30 on him. Blow bys. Step backs. Weird contortionist layups. Middy pull-ups. He’s going to kill him.
