The LA Lakers brought in Russell Westbrook to attack the title, they weren't even in the play-off zone with him.
Because of this, he was recently traded to Utah, but could soon return to Los Angeles and sign with the Clippers.
Ras doesn't want to stay in Salt Lake City and immediately began negotiating a $47 million contract buyout. They should be completed soon and then he will sign with the Clippers. The deadline for players to register for the playoffs is March 1.
Westbrook also has offers from other teams, but he wants to join the Clippers, where he will again work with former Oklahoma player Paul George.
The experienced playmaker came to the Lakers a year and a half ago from Washington as a big reinforcement, but he never cooperated well with LeBron James, so he became the first reserve.
In the Clippers, the starting organizer of the game is Terence Mann, who averages about nine points per match, which is why Russ could get a significant role and relieve the first offensive options of George and Kawhi Leonard.
The Clippers are currently fourth in the West and an almost certain participant in the playoffs, and are among the contenders for the championship trophy.
Westbrook won numerous individual awards in the NBA, was the MVP of the league, twice the best scorer of the competition, but he only played in the playoffs once and lost with Oklahoma.
