The Nuggets are expected to sign Russell Westbrook following his trade with the Jazz, who will buy him out of his contract.
After multiple weeks of rumors, the path has been paved for Russell Westbrook to join the Denver Nuggets. The LA Clippers are sending Westbrook, a second-round pick and cash to the Utah Jazz as part of a sign-and-trade involving guard Kris Dunn, ESPN reported Thursday. Utah and Westbrook are expected to agree to a buy out, which would allow the star point guard to join Denver once he clears waivers, according to ESPN.
Christian Braun could move into the Nuggets' starting lineup, with Westbrook serving as the primary backup to Jamal Murray. The Nuggets finished with a regular season record of 57-25 and made it to the Western Conference semifinals, where they were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves. As for the Clippers, they agreed to a deal with Dunn on the first day of free agency, but a deal hadn't been signed yet.
