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.

    And you saw this after one game we barely won against a team that won’t even be in the playoffs? Give it 10-15 games let’s see how these lineups do clearly the offense was still an issue the other day and as great offensively harden was 8/11 shooting is an anomaly.

    Let’s also see how the defense is consistently because there are still a ton of holes as we have seen last 2 weeks.
