Why would they disrupt this? Russ would be better as a 6th man with the bench unit.
The one time all year the Clips didn’t look like trash was the 2-game stretch two weeks ago, immediately after they cut the fat (Reggie, Wall, Luke), got a 2nd big (Plum), and allowed Mann to be the definitive point guard.
They had a closing lineup of
IZ/KL/PG/EG (or NP)/ TM
Basically no Morris Sr, and shooting guard by committee (Gordon/Powell)
It clearly worked… but now they’re right back to the drawing board of too many cooks and undefined roles.
