"Gave us one of the hardest photos ever": Clippers fans react to team's Russell Westbrook 'Thank You' post

The Los Angeles Clippers traded Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz along with a second-round draft pick to acquire Kris Dunn. As a parting message, the official X account of the Clippers shared a collage of Westbrook's great moments at the franchise, thanking the nine-time All-Star for his contributions to the team during his stay.

However, the Clippers fans were not big fans of the thank you message. Their reaction to the post was filled with troll comments. The fans expressed their opinions in the comments, with some of them questioning Russell Westbrook's credibility to deserve a thank-you post as the Clippers were unable to make it past the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

One fan made a sarcastic comment thanking Westbrook for giving the 'hardest' photos to the fans.

"Gave us one of the hardest photos ever."

Other fans joined the fray and trolled the nine-time All-Star after the parting social media post.

"Thank you for building those homeless shelters with those bricks," one fan said.

"Thanks for what??? Thanks for leaving?" another fan chimed in.

"Thanks for what ??? y’all didn’t win a playoff series or anything else," another fan said.

While some fans trolled Mr. Triple Double, others praised and thanked Brodie for his contribution to the team.

"Appreciate you king, you were awesome for us russ! Wish you success at the next stop," one fan said.

"Russ was awesome for us, can’t hate on the guy. Goodluck Brodie," another fan wrote.

Westbrook was an efficient player for the Clippers last season. He averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists with them, playing as an impactful bench option.

NBA Insider shares Russell Westbrook's real destination

The Clippers did trade Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz to acquire a player more fitting with their future plans for the franchise. However, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski believes that Mr. Triple Double is headed to the Denver Nuggets to join reigining league MVP Nikola Jokic.

Wojnarowski made a post on X, formerly known as "Twitter," informing the fans that Westbrook is expected to head to the Denver Camp as a free agent after he clears waivers with the Utah Jazz. The Jazz are expected to buyout the nine-time All-Star out of his contract, leaving him as an unrestricted free agent who is free to sign with anyone.

Moreover, the Nuggets' head coach, Michael Malone, also provided a foreshadowing of Westbrook's arrival. He shared with ESPN that the franchise is looking for a point guard to play behind Jamal Murray. Russell Westbrook is a great option to fulfill that role, as he had a similar role at the Clippers and excelled at it.
