It's not that big of a loss.
Nike tends to do this with their athletes every few years. They'll let a few guys go with other companies and focus their attention on newer athletes or the already big names they have.
I'm sure we'd all like to see Westbrook stay with the swoosh, but he was never going to get the attention he wanted especially playing alongside Durant. Russ would have stayed getting the PE treatment on the Hyperdunk/Fuse line.
Even with Adidas bolstering up their roster, it's still nowhere close to Nike's talent.
Speaking of guys jumping ship, was it ever confirmed if DWade signed with Li-Ning or Blake Griffin with Under Armour?
