Skip Bayless Makes A Harsh Statement About Russell Westbrook

The Los Angeles Clippers recently traded for James Harden, ending one of the biggest sagas of the NBA offseason.

He is expected to come in and make a big difference for this team needing a jump-start.

They already had Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard on their roster, and adding additional star power should get them where they want to be.

Despite their current roster construction, Skip Bayless has recently stated that Harden should immediately take over as the team’s starting point guard.

The Clippers will never go anywhere with Russell Westbrook as their point guard. Only hope: Russ is demoted in favor of James Harden as the starting and finishing point guard.

Westbrook has been in charge of that role, but Bayless says ‘The Clippers will never go anywhere” if that trend continues.

If he is demoted, as Bayless indicates, the Clippers will be significantly better moving forward.

The Clippers have their work cut out for them given the strength of the Western Conference.

Teams like the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Golden State Warriors will likely stand in their way during the postseason.

It will be a difficult road, but if they can work together and figure everything out, this could be a team to watch.

Fans will not have to wait long to see what this conglomeration of stars looks like if recent rumors are any indication.

Many believe that Harden will make his season debut against the New York Knicks on November 6th, kicking off his time with the Clippers.

Whether he’ll take over as the starting point guard remains to be seen.

Bayless has seen enough of Westbrook, that much is certain.
