Russell Westbrook signs with agent Jeff Schwartz

Russell Westbrook has selected one of the most prominent agents in professional sports as his new representative.

Westbrook has signed with Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweets.

Westbrook parted ways with Thad Foucher last month. Foucher, who had represented Westbrook since he entered the league in 2008, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason.

Westbrook will be a free agent after next season. He opted in to the final year of his current contract at a $47M price tag this summer. There remains endless speculation about whether he’ll play for the Lakers next season.

The Nets have been mentioned as a possible destination if they deal Kyrie Irving to the West Coast. The Jazz, Knicks and Pacers have also reportedly shown interest in picking up Westbrook’s contract with assets attached.

Schwartz has a long list of NBA clients, including two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, John Collins, Cade Cunningham, Tyler Herro, Brandon Ingram, Kevin Love, C.J. McCollum, Khris Middleton, Jamal Murray and Ricky Rubio.
