OKC would be Brooklyn without him. He's not hurting his team this season.
This. His +/- is through the roof and there is absolutely no other option than him for bulk scoring.
Also, the Thunder are now 25-6 in games where he gets a triple double after they beat the Spurs tonight. Its not like him getting rebounds is hurting them.
The Thunder are 6-13 in games where Russ has 7 or fewer rebounds (including 1 win in 10 such games since Christmas). They're 3-9 in games where he has 6 or fewer assists.
