LOS ANGELES -- Not long after James Harden and PJ Tucker walked into their new locker room with the LA Clippers, Russell Westbrook greeted his former Houston Rockets teammates with a handshake and embrace.
While the proposed trade between the Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers had not become official as of early Tuesday evening in Los Angeles, Harden and Tucker were welcomed by the Clippers the moment they got out of their SUV in the Crypto.com Arena loading dock.
