After a tumultuous end to his tumultuous tenure with the Lakers, new Clippers guard Russell Westbrook spoke to reporters on Wednesday, saying he was happy to be on a team that wanted him and that he was happy to stay home with his family in Los Angeles.
. Frank said theClippers would want someone who "won't be played off the floor defensively, someone who can share the ball responsibilities, but not yet be so ball dominant."
"Russ is one of the most explosive and intense competitors in the league," Frank said, "and we think the many strengths he has will augment and really help our team." Westbrook averaged 15.9 points and 7.5 assists and 6.2 rebounds for the Lakers, and his rebounding, in particular, is expected to be a boost for the Clippers.
When asked about how Westbrook will play off the ball, Lue made clear that the ball will be in his hands, as well.
