Turning off the game in the third quarter to watch GOT was a great decision. Won’t be watching G5. PG clearly not right, and Russ is straight up playing the worst ball of his career.

If what Erick Horne says is true and Russ wouldn’t come out in G2 when Billy tried to sub him out (also supposedly happened in the 20-20-20 game,) he’s gotta go. Doubt you can move Russ’ contract, so you try and find someone (if that person even exists) that can get through to him. Adams may be the other scapegoat in the offseason. No idea who else they can even move. But this team is a ****ing train wreck.

I saw the McHale 30%/60% comment as well, lol. He really did say that.

No wonder Houston got out of the first round only once with him.

I agree rd 2 should be lit but even though it is the Rockets, if the Warriors lost in the 2nd rd I'd be surprised. They will still be like -400 for that series.

I think Bucks will be like -250, Raptors -200 if I had to guess.

Pretty cool, so far Playoff Jokic is holding up well.

If I'm drafting a go-to-war team I take RussWest44 with the 1st pick, but he ain't touchin' no guns. Gotta leave enough cap space to get Steph or Klay to lay down the cover fire.

I think that's the same as last year isn't it?

I remember that they outsourced Cleveland in the series last year by about 30 even though they lost.

I imagine MJ would be thrilled to let Kemba walk and grab Russ. Just a hunch.

Sac might be foolishly willing to part with Fox for him. Lakers. Someone is talking him on.

Or maybe a straight swap of John Wall for Russ? Think OKC gets a good bit better there short term.

Or what about a fire-sale and getting rid of everything they can right now?

Tough decisions to be made here, but my guess is they'll run it back with a new coach and a less expensive roster for at least another year.

Willingly choose to pay almost 50m a year for declining Russ would be absolutely insane. Presti has ****ed the Thunder with his moves the last 6-7 years. When you are paying 110m for Russ/PG/Adams a year you are in very very bad shape.

You won't get any value for Russ. His decline is coming rapidly.

Yeah a Miami/Orlando/Cha might take him but they're not gonna give up anything of value. Maybe a few picks.

Don't see why OKC would deal him unless they want to full on tank.
