A sign-and-trade deal is finally agreed upon that will send Russell Westbrook to Utah. He is expected to get bought up and sign with Denver.
Here are some immediate reactions from the Internet about Westbrook leaving the Clippers.
I love Russ in Denver. Puts the Nuggets back on top of the West.
Russ is a tough dude, a dawg. A warrior. He brings incredible athleticism and experience. He will play great alongside and behind Jamal.

Replacing KCP with Russell Westbrook has never failed before what could possibly go wrong in Denver

Clips picked up Kawhi,PG,Russ,Harden and I thought they were really making a wise move branding themselves as the franchise that’ll always have its doors open to SoCal dudes who want to live and play in LA
Then they lowballed PG and traded Russ to fuckin UTAH. Clippers gon Clip https://t.co/IU59tR6jyS

Westbrook playing a maniac version of the Bruce Brown role in Denver could actually work quite nicely…

As a fan of Russell Westbrook since he entered the league, it was a dream come true to have him on my team.
I wish so many things could’ve gone differently. This past year was rough outside of some fun moments. But when he was on, nobody was better at engaging with the crowd. pic.twitter.com/0voR7pNrkx

If I had a nickel for every time Russell Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz and then bought out of his deal to sign with another team, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

It was clear that Russell Westbrook never really fit into the Clippers front office plans. Regardless, that dude played his ass off every game and did whatever the team asked of him. That 2023 playoff run was one that cemented him as a fan favorite.

Think it says a lot that the best player in basketball and one of the best teams in basketball wanted to bring Russell Westbrook in for what should be a very prominent role.
Was a lot of fun covering an all-time great in LA. https://t.co/gB25JQ0qQI
