Swanson: Disappointment? Have courage? Clippers think Russell Westbrook will work for them# he is prepared to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers#.



We think Russell Westbrook, when he signs with the Clippers, would like to beat the Lakers worse than Steve Ballmer would like to see butts on the seats of the Intuit Dome when it opens.


The point to say is clear: a lot.


But will those interests compete? Or compatible?

Ballmer has invested $2 billion in the Arena project, reducing some expenses and jumping through myriad hoops to enable clippers to hoop into Inglewood. And he knows it will take more than the allure of a sparkling, state-of-the-art basketball palace to fill it with the type of rabid enthusiasm he envisions.

The decor, the set, the stage? Important..



That’s why, in 2019, the Clippers went all in to bring aboard two Southern California-born stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, the two-time champion and two-time NBA Finals MVP who the Clippers are relying on for an encore performance.




The Clippers’ leading men – who have, publicly in George’s case, been clamoring for Westbrook – gave the organization some cachet just by picking it. But they haven’t hoisted any trophies, and they haven’t made a real dent in local basketball society.

Whether you’re shooting for championships or hearts and minds, it turns out winning is hard. And, apparently, the Clippers believe Westbrook – the embattled 34-year-old future Hall of Famer who reportedly is being bought out by the Utah Jazz – will make it easier?




If it’s not a sign of desperation, it’s at least a gutsy bet. Because for the Clippers, winning now is more important than ever, it’s the only thing that’s bound to really get the Intuit Dome buzzing. Also, the thing that will make the team’s most financially devoted fans feel good about ponying up significantly more for season ticket seats similar to the ones they have at Crytpo.com Arena

Struggling to find their footing in the Western Conference though and Westbrook being their only path to fixing this roster, the Lakers moved the future Hall-of-Famer at the trade deadline, sending Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz.

Now, the Jazz and Westbrook are progressing towards a buyout and according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, he is prepared to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.
