Since Westbrook joined the Los Angeles Lakers, many have speculated whether the signing will have a negative impact on the team. The same concern has emerged with the Los Angeles Clippers. Recently, it was reported that some people within the Clippers expressed dissatisfaction with Westbrook's arrival and worried that he would drag down the team. This remark has attracted the attention of many basketball fans.
It is understood that the focus of concern within the Clippers is Westbrook's hit percentage. Last season, Westbrook shot just 43.9 percent from the field, the second-lowest in the league. This has many worried that he will have a negative impact on the team's offensive efficiency.
In addition, there are people within the Clippers who are concerned about Westbrook's personal style. As a core of the team, Westbrook's decision-making ability and style of play are essential. However, his style doesn't fit well with the Clippers' current players. The Clippers are good at defense, while Westbrook is more inclined to attack. Therefore, it is still unknown whether his arrival will have an impact on the team's tactical style.
Westbrook did not respond positively to concerns within the Clippers. However, he said in an interview that he cherishes the opportunity very much and hopes to contribute to the team. He doesn't think he clashes with the Clippers' style of player and believes he can achieve more with the team.
Still, Westbrook's future remains somewhat uncertain. At the moment, he has not signed with the Clippers. And Clippers owner Ballmer is also under pressure from within the team. He needs to take into account the interests of the team, but also respect the voice within the team. This could bring some variables to Westbrook's arrival.
Overall, the Clippers' internal concerns are understandable. After all, it is still unknown whether Westbrook's arrival will have a positive impact. But if the players could stick together and work together, it could be different.
