Clippers Trade Westbrook to Jazz, Nuggets Await

Russell Westbrook has been traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Utah Jazz in a sign-and-trade deal involving Kris Dunn, a second-round pick swap, and cash. Utah will waive Westbrook, who is expected to join the Denver Nuggets as a free agent. This marks the second time in less than two years that Westbrook has been traded to Utah only to be bought out. Nikola Jokic reportedly pushed for Denver to acquire Westbrook, who will play a key role off the bench for the Nuggets. The Clippers are reshaping their roster, with Dunn signing a three-year, $17 million contract.
