Russell Westbrook has signed a two-year deal with a Western Conference contender.
Free agent guard Russell Westbrook has agreed to a two-year deal that is worth $6.8 million to sign with the Denver Nuggets. NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic was the one to break the news of the agreement on social media.Following a trade from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Utah Jazz, Westbrook was waived, letting him become a free agent. The Clippers decided it was time for the pairing to go their separate ways and started to shop him around the league.
Westbrook saw his role with the Clippers diminish over the course of the season last year, leading to the team moving him this offseason. In 68 games with Los Angeles, Westbrook averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.Denver isn't looking for Westbrook to be the savior of the team, so if he can fit into his expected role, this could be a steal for the Nuggets.
