Nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook has officially been traded by the LA Clippers and waived by the Utah Jazz, paving the way for him to sign with the Denver Nuggets. In an Instagram post on Sunday, Westbrook sent a message to the Clippers, their fanbase, and his own fanbase.

"Thank you to Mr. Ballmer and the entire Clipper Organization for the opportunity," Westbrook wrote. "Clipper Nation, thank you! I had a lot of fun with you all, playing in the city I love in front of my family and friends. To all of my teammates, I thank y'all for embracing me and supporting me the past two years."

Westbrook included a message to his own fanbase that read, "To ALL of MY fans! You guys don't know how much your support means to me. Y'all keep me motivated and energized. I've got the most loyal and amazing fans in sports. Looking forward to seeing y'all next season!"
