Anthony Davis recently gave his thoughts on Russ going to the Clippers.

Anthony Davis is one of the best players in the league when he is healthy. Over the past two seasons, he, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook could have been a big three. However, they weren't exactly cut out for each other. Of course, we know what AD and LeBron are capable of. Although, when it came to Russ, it was very clear that he didn't fit in with the team. As a result, we were hit with some pretty pathetic basketball. The fans in Los Angeles ended up turning on Russ, and the rest was history. Consequently, he was traded at the deadline.

Since then, Russ has been bought out by the Utah Jazz. This allowed Russ to become a free agent who could go anywhere he wants. In the end, he decided to remain in Los Angeles, albeit with the Clippers. This is great news for the Clippers, who desperately needed a point guard. Furthermore, it reinvigorates the battle of Los Angeles, as Westbrook can go on a revenge tour of sorts. As for the actual players on the Lakers, they do not seem to care about this new development.

Anthony Davis Reacts

While speaking to the media about Russ going to the Clippers, AD didn't have much to say. As you will see, he isn't even sure how Westbrook will help the team. “I’m not part of that team. I have no idea what their locker room is like, what their chemistry is like,” Davis said. “Honestly, I don’t really watch the Clippers like that… I got three kids. I don’t have time to.” From there, AD gave a bit more of a fleshed-out answer, noting that the Clippers were a team in need of a point guard. However, Davis still doesn't know how it will work out for them. “I know they got rid of John (Wall) and Reggie (Jackson), so he’s another point guard for them,” Davis noted. “I’m not sure how [coach Tyronn Lue] will utilize him, but I’m pretty sure he’s happy to stay in LA.”

Overall, it is going to be interesting to track the Clippers, moving forward. They are a team that has a lot of pressure to succeed. Now, Russ will be inheriting that pressure which could go very badly. No matter what, it is going to be a lot of fun to watch.
