The Los Angeles Clippers sent Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz in a sign-and-trade deal for Kris Dunn. Westbrook is now expected to join the Denver Nuggets after the Jazz buy out his contract. Westbrook, a nine-time All-Star, has been traded for the fifth time in his career.
The deal brings an end to Westbrook's attempts to win a championship in his hometown. He had disappointing stints with both the Lakers and the Clippers. The Clippers will be the sixth NBA team in nine seasons for Kris Dunn, a relentless defender and valuable teammate.
