Paul George and Russell Westbrook are reunited on the Clippers
LA Clippers star Paul George made it clear last week that he would love Russell Westbrook on the LA Clippers. Speaking after a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, George said, “I mean if there’s somebody out there – Russell. If it makes sense and obviously it goes with our team, we’re all for it. You know, we need a point guard.”
On Monday morning, George got his wish, as it was announced that Westbrook would be joining the Clippers after completing a buyout with the Utah Jazz. A few hours after it was announced, George shared his reaction on Instagram:
In that same postgame interview following the Bucks loss, George said, “I just think we in particular got enough shooting to surround Russ where Russ can be Russ. And I think the floor will be open for him, spacing will be there for him. I’m a big believer in and a fan of what Russ’s work is, having one of my best seasons in my career alongside of him. I’ve seen what he can do, night in, night out, and I think he’s still got a lot of game there.”
George added, “I’m biased when it comes to Russ, and I really think he can improve the team. He’s such a big talent. He rebounds, he finds guys, he makes the game easy for everyone, and I think he’ll come and he’ll mesh. He’ll figure out how we play and he’ll adjust to it.”
It is clear that Paul George is a fan of this signing, and it is now time to see how it actually plays out on the court.
