Russell Westbrook’s stint with his hometown Los Angeles Clippers may have been short lived.
NBA executives believe that free agent point guard Russell Westbrook could attract offers of around $10-15 million annually,, the Clippers may not be one of those teams willing to pay the guard such a large sum of money.
“The Clippers may not have offered that money even if they had the space. Despite gushing about how Westbrook upgraded the point-guard position, the Clippers still tried to acquire Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon last week only for the deal to fall through after becoming concerned with his injury history.”
During Westbrook’s time with the team, he put up 15.8 points, 7.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals as a starter for the squad in the regular season. During the postseason, he boosted his averages up to 23.6 points, 7.4 assists and 7.6 rebounds in the team’s first-round matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
