Why do people keep thinking Russ in year 5?

Laughing or feeling sad a 18 year pro not signed is crazy

Its 18 fukking years fukk nikkas
They’re tryna do him!! :mjlol:

What do these cats not understand about people like Russ and Melo being rich and old as fukk and choosing to compete with 20 year olds who are hungry, healthy and not rich as fukk. Nobody is forcing them in or out. Nobody is tryna play favorite, if they’re better they get rated above.

And also, they can’t play the loyalty card as a Haslem or in their case Dirk etc, seeing how they’re not loyal. :yeshrug:


With that being said, Russ is still nba good. But nothing special in nba terms.

This franchise is allergic to wings.
Keegan Murray is going to be out for awhile. So let's solve that problem by adding ANOTHER guard to an already undersized roster.

Your team is looking for a wing? Warriors have one available, just add a first round pick :mjlit:

I'm glad he got something. I get the Brodie disrespect and the flaws. You just gotta take the good with the bad and understand him. He's not a shooter but he's driven. Work ethic is strong, motor is still high, competitiveness. Vocal leader. When you take him on and try to put him in a small role you'll only get the bad.

He was good for the wizards the time he was with us. So ill never shyt on him. I think he should play and get his flowers and milestones. Sacramento is good for him cause it's still Cali so he doesn't have to move his kids.. Him on Golden state would have been epic though. I think he has some career milestones coming up and I hope he hits them

He's about 200 points away from passing Tim Duncan and being in top 20 all time scoring. Without a jumper.. He can also catch Big O or be in his company.
His triple double record of 203 will be broken by Jokic who has about 164

That's the thing I don't think it's low. He just hardheaded and would rather lose his way than win in awaybue doesn't agree with.

THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

RUSS HAS DONE WHATEVER
THE TEAM HAS ASKED OF HIM
THE LAST FEW YEARS
YET HE ALWAYS GETS THE BLAME
WHEN THE TEAM CRASHES OUT
EVEN THOUGH HES A NOT AT
THE TOP OF THE DEPTH CHART

DUDE WAS GREAT FOR DENVER
:devil:
:evil:

You know what? That's fair. I think when teams run into trouble with Russ is when he has to do more than his specific role for an extended period of time. Towards the end of his time with the Clippers he had a bigger role because of injuries and it started out good but by the end he wasnt playable. Kind of feel like that's what happened in Denver as well.

TO CARRY A STAR PLAYER LOAD
(PAUSE)
BY SEASONS END AND CATCHES
ALL THE BLAME.

@CHICAGO

Russ is like 75 assists I think from 25,000 points 10,000 assists and I think like 4 or 500 points away from being top 10 all time in points. I get why he wanted to come back and get some minutes to reach those records

Russ with even more motiviation to stat pad is going to be a sight to see.
