Russell Westbrook on integrating James Harden: I don't know, bro, but it's going to be a process with ups, downs
Westbrook repeatedly stressed that “it’s going to be a process” with figuring out how the Clippers will integrate Harden along with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, himself and a cast of dependable role players. Naturally, that led to the most important question that will likely determine whether the Clippers have any shot at winning their first NBA championship. What will it take for Harden, Leonard, George and Westbrook to bring out the best in each other during this process? “Give it a break. It’ll be a process,” Westbrook said following the Clippers’ 130-125 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena. “I don’t have the answer. I don’t predict the future. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know, bro. But it’s going to be a process. It’s going to be ups and downs. There are going to be good games and bad games. It’s not going to come together and mesh, and we’re going to be perfectly fine. That’s unrealistic expectations for everybody. The realistic expectations is that it’s going to be a process. I don’t have an answer for what that is.”

The James Harden Sixers era lasted less than two years. But it was eventful. And, at the end, tumultuous.

Paul Reed credited James Harden with helping him with screening angles to get guards open (something he’s talked about before) and added P.J. Tucker taught him a lot about daily mindset/intensity.

More on this storyline
James Harden is joining a team with three future Hall of Famers in Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook in an effort to help the Clippers reverse 52 years of falling short of winning an NBA title, or even reaching the championship round. And funny enough, they all went to high school within 100 miles of one another. “What better story to be told than four Southern California guys doing the never been done before and being champions,” George said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do. But we’re all very hopeful that we can figure this out.” -via FoxSports.com / November 2, 2023
Leonard said he was in bed when news of the Harden trade broke Monday evening. “I guess excited,” Leonard, who led the Clippers with 38 points Wednesday, said of his reaction. “I know he’s one of the best players that has stepped on an NBA floor.” -via FoxSports.com / November 2, 2023
As for Harden, this is what he wanted. The Clippers were always his preferred destination and Paul Reed, who thought of Harden as something of a big brother for him, gave his thoughts on the deal. “It was kinda crazy, but I’m happy for him,” said Reed. “It’s something that he wanted, apparently. So I’m just happy he got somewhere he wanted to be at.” -via Sixers Wire / November 2, 2023

Mark Medina: Russell Westbrook said it’s going to be “a process” with the group figuring out the chemistry with James Harden. I asked what it will take for that process to work. Westbrook: “I don’t have the answer. I don’t predict the future. I don’t know what’s going to happen.” pic.twitter.com/4FAcWCHBAO -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / November 2, 2023
