[Woj] Free agent Russell Westbrook has agreed on a two-year, nearly $8M deal to stay with the Clippers, agent Jeff Schwartz of @Excelbasketball tells ESPN. Deal includes player option. Clippers were eager to bring back 9-time All-Star after his late season run as starting point guard.

    Wow, after making $47 million last season. He’s not too old yet, but I honestly thought he might retire with how far his value has fallen.

      Sheesh. 2yr, $8M would’ve been real great to have while he was on the Lakers. This new deal is the opposite of his last one D:< far from it, indeed

    Deal is crazy after all the overpays we’ve been seeing. He must like it in LA and found a team that suits him because the Clippers got a damn bargain.

    Hopefully he could take some pressure off PG and Kawhi and set them up for a good run.
