Russell Westbrook and the Clippers agreed to a two-year contract at $7.8 million with a player option in the second year, down from $47 million last year. It won't be long before he becomes Melo, where no team will be interested in him and he will simply resign. As expected given his dismal performance the previous season, but not at such a rapid pace, making it the largest pay cut in league history, according to Hoopshype.
I think that he just took it so quickly that the other offers could have been lowball already. This is much better than no offer and we'd seen that with Melo it's like the last minute until a team has given him an offer. It's only gonna be a matter of time before he's going to have the same fate as him but we shall see how the LAC will do this season. They seem to have a good setup of roster and could do good and hopefully he'll also get himself back the way we knew how he was before but yeah, time passes by and that's unlikely.
