After looking at the numbers the idea of Russell getting sign & traded to the Warriors doen't even look possible without it being multiple teams & moving players & that's just using Klays cap hold which is less than his max. Like I don't even think they could legally by the rules pull it off & that's after looking at it with one of Dray & Iggy being dumped for nothing back :patrice:


that's the same thing I was saying...The Nets lose that extra loot with Kyrie and KD is a higher max than Russell....That shyt ain't happening...But I know this much Lakers may need to consider checking out Russell and seeing if he would potentially be willing to take 24 million and a role in Space Jams to sign with the Lakers.

Taj is a decent player, mentor, plays defense... he will set a good example, tradable contract and isn’t good enough to slow down the tank

Yep and he's from ny, great in the lockeroom and is a vet who can contribute. There is a reason why guys like Taj Gibson are still in the nba while a guy like melo isn't

Taj Gibson is the epitome of a professional and a team player. Throughout the entire season, he was the rock that held the Wolves together. He took the rookies and younger players under his wing, he was active and engaged in practices and shootarounds and he did whatever the team needed from him every day.

When Dario Saric came in midseason, Interim Head Coach Ryan Saunders made the decision to bring Gibson off the bench. Saunders expected it to be a difficult conversation. After all, Gibson had started for the better part of the last two seasons. Gibson, though, made it clear to Saunders that he would accept his bench role with grace and his trademark work ethic.

Gibson is the kind of player that will have a role in the NBA as long as he wants one. He could definitely pivot to coaching right after his playing career ends. That time isn’t coming soon though—Gibson proved this season that he still has a valuable skillset even in a changing league.
