PLAYA VISTA — He came in smiling, an obvious sign that Russell Westbrook was happy, maybe even thrilled, to leave behind the last year and half and start anew with the Clippers. The fresh start began when the team officially announced Wednesday that it had signed the veteran point guard.“I’m super excited, man. I’m just excited to get back to playing,” Westbrook said, still smiling. “I love to play basketball and I just have a lot of fun while doing it.
Westbrook was back in the gym Wednesday after spending the past two weeks deciding his future after being traded from the Lakers to the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team deal and then bought out and waived, making him a free agent. He said his decision to sign with the Clippers was influenced heavily by the support he received from players such as Paul George and Marcus Morris Sr.
Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, said he took the players’ comments into consideration when deciding whether to add the mercurial point guard. “I value that a lot. I’ve been in this league a long time and being somewhere that people want you and they embrace you, that meant a lot to me.”
