You get Russ to sign a fucking minimum so he could start for a team that wants him and then you bring in a replacement and force him to the bench. Fuck that.
Trade Russ. Get him off this sinking ship. All this FO sees is star players, it doesn’t know how to construct a team.
I would rather see Russ on the bench here than Russ traded to another contender. I also don’t think anyone is trying to trade him
