The Los Angeles Clippers added Russell Westbrook to join a super team of sorts with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. While it didn't make the Clippers championship favorites on NBA futures boards, it did turn them into a viable contender.

But none of the Big Three could stay healthy. In 2023, it was Westbrook alone for most of the postseason, a run that lasted just five games and a first-round ouster vs. the Phoenix Suns. In 2024, the team added James Harden, but Kawhi didn't suit up in another first-round exit. 

George declined a player option and signed a massive new deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Kawhi Leonard is back, and Westbrook is too, but there are rumblings that the Clippers may be ready to move on. 

Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has analyzed the league landscape and updated his NBA odds for which teams could be in the market for Westbrook this offseason. 

Russell Westbrook 2024-25 Team Odds 

There is no doubting Westbrook's talent as one of the more explosive point guards in NBA history. The nine-time All-Star has led the Association in points on two occasions and assists on three others. 

Westbrook can be an energizing force, but also a disruptive one. There's a reason he has played on five teams in the last five seasons. 

The knock on him is he’s always been a statistical standout without the team success to go with it. He didn't fit well with LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the Lakers, or Bradley Beal on the Wizards, or James Harden with the Rockets. All those teams fell well short of expectations with Westbrook leading the charge surrounded by other stars. The Clippers' superteam was a bust, too. 

Westbrook comes super-cheap for a player of his caliber. With a cap hit of just over $4 million, just about any team in need of someone with Westbrook's skillset can find a way to bring him in. 

Who Wants Westbrook?

First, we don't know that the Clippers don't want Westbrook. But it does appear he is on the trade block. If an offer hits right, he could be on yet another new team for next season. 

We know Nikola Jokic wants Westbrook to come to Denver. Or at least those are the reports. He would be an offensive weapon to replace starting SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who signed with the Magic, perhaps allowing Jamal Murray to play the 2 spot and Westbrook to command the point. 

The Utah Jazz have money to spend and are looking for a sign-and-trade partner for PG Kris Dunn. It could be the win-win trade both sides are seeking. 

The Miami Heat are still, trying to find a point guard capable of taking pressure off Jimmy Butler. The Orlando Magic were among the very bottom teams in terms of assists -- their assists leaders were forwards. Each team would be much-improved in the backcourt with Westbrook, who would have the ability to step in and be a key asset, perhaps even a starter. 

A few quasi-contenders are in need to backcourt depth. The Minnesota Timberwolves need offense, while the New Orleans Pelicans may be looking at a restructuring point as they look to maximize their win potential with Zion Williamson. 

Would the Clippers trade Westbrook to a Western Conference rival and contender? Perhaps not the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors or Phoenix Suns, who also need point guard depth. Those three teams lead The Field.
