Russell Westbrook re-signs with Clippers on 2-year, $8M deal

Russell Westbrook has agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers in NBA free agency. After a tumultuous stint with the Lakers, Westbrook found success with the Clippers as their starting point guard. Despite his controversial playing style and shooting struggles, Westbrook's field goal and three-point percentages improved while his defense was a surprise asset. The Clippers went 11-10 with Westbrook in the regular season but were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. This new deal provides Westbrook with a chance for a fresh start at a more reasonable salary.
