It's cool watching Russ ball, he still has alot of game left...

But it's also true that he has to either be The Guy on a team with low expectations going nowhere, or the third cog at best, on a contender. There really is no in between for him anymore...

To that point, there's a bunch of teams that fit those descriptions. I don't think he wants to leave LA though, he's home. So this is probably his last stop besides a final one day or something to retire in OKC...

The Clippers are in huge trouble...
Everyone that thought Russ was DONE after his Laker stint need to shut up about Russ, including you dude.

You guys don't get the opportunity to wrong twice about the same guy just because he's losing a series against KD, Booker, and CP3.

If KD didn't have Book and CP3 on this Suns team, he'd be down 0-3 to Solo Russ.

Family can stay put, can continue mentoring Mann, possibly win a chip, give Balmer a heart attack for one reason or another lol. Only thing is I wish there was something that could be done with Kawhi. If he can play, having him come off the bench sounds like the ticket. That way when/if he is missing, the whole offense isn't discombobulated by his absense.
I think it's abundantly clear now that you have to treat Kawhi as a part time bench player that you can't build a team around.

Maybe you get 50 games a year out of him at 20MPG in the reg season and hope you can get a healthy playoff run out of him - but it's completely foolhardy to expect anything out of him.

Is it cuz the injury or the shyt they reported going on wit his fam?
I mean, they said Kawhi has a knee sprain. PG has a sprain and been out damn near a month, it’s not realistic to expect Kawhi to come back - especially since he seems to have little interest in playing through things like that anymore
