He is redundant with the starting lineup since Harden got here. As a rim running playmaker with no jumpshot he can’t really contribute in the second unit playing together with PJ Tucker and a Center either, spacing is just not viable in todays NBA, like Bones might contribute more than Russ in that lineup.
I think this is going to get ugly, sadly.
Depends. I felt this way after game one but I Wanna see what the do next week.
