Clippers"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Los Angeles Clippers (31-27) are a few hours until the end of the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline. They have lost out on two point guards they have inquired about in Kyrie Irving<\/strong><\/a> and D\u2019Angelo Russell<\/a><\/strong>. There is, however, one more point guard that the Clippers are interested in, and that is newly acquired Utah Jazz point guard Russell Westbrook<\/a><\/strong>. He was traded to the Jazz in a three-team deal to essentially move on from a disastrous year and a half with the Los Angeles Lakers. It is reported by Chris Haynes that the Jazz will likely buy out Westbrook and that there is mutual interest between the two parties. Now there is reason to believe that this move might happen. Here are three reasons why Russell Westbrook could join the Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n
