Paul George Gives Honest Opinion on Russell Westbrook's Season With Clippers

Paul George was really happy with Russell Westbook as a Clipper.

If there's one person who wanted Russell Westbrook on the Clippers more than anyone, it was Paul George. George advocated for Westbrook stronger than anyone and while it started bumpy, Westbrook's tenure ended strong.

On the newest episode of Podcast P, George opened up about how he felt Westbrook performed as a Clipper. Simply put, George thought Westbrook delivered.

"He delivered! There was a reason I was willing to stick my neck out and vouch for him. He delivered. He came and was an unbelievable locker room guy, great energy, great leader and I think what L [Lawrence Frank] loved most about bringing him in was he was just very adaptable. His role changed when we first got him with myself and Kawhi out there, to when I went down and it was just him and Kawhi, to when Kawhi went down and it was just him...I was just proud he answered the bell. Back against the ropes, everybody questioned him as a player...He wowed everybody, he surprised everybody, and he earned that respect back and that's what I was most proud just as a friend, and a brother, someone who highly supported him." 

Westbrook's future with the LA Clippers remains a big question mark, as does the future of the entire franchise after an upsetting first-round loss. Paul George and the Clippers' front office want Westbrook back on the team, but Westbrook will surely have options after how he performed in the playoffs this year. The LA Clippers will be a very interesting team to watch in the offseason.
