Clippers Don't Re-Sign Russell Westbrook
The Los Angeles Clippers were reportedly in pursuit of Chris Paul, which suggests they weren't all that high on retaining Russell Westbrook.
And even without CP3, the most it can offer Westbrook for a starting salary is $3.8 million. Though he's entering his age-35 season and has been a journeyman over the last several years, he likely did enough in the postseason to warrant a bigger payday from someone else.
In the postseason, when he took over most of the Clippers' offensive responsibility following an injury to Kawhi Leonard, Westbrook averaged 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals.
