Russell Westbrook was sent to the Jazz in a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline, which netted the Lakers D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt, and sent Mike Conley Jr. to the Timberwolves. However, there is a chance that he’ll be bought out and continue his career elsewhere.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, four teams have been in discussions with Westbrook, with Utah’s permission. The Bulls, Clippers, Heat and Westbrook’s former team, the Wizards, are among those franchises, though there is also a chance that he plays out the final year of his deal with the Jazz.
Wojnarowski says that Westbrook and the teams he is considering are both examining what his fit may be within those rosters.
