Thats a bit much.
Thanks for the read, EP.
I liked this quote-- if the team ends up keeping him on the roster to start the year: "You have to figure out some way to empower him without indulging his worst habits."

Nice read
Hopefully Rob will be patient
If trading Russ at midseason is best time, why not send Russ + cash?
If Russ is truly dead weight, that is the White Elephant
Obviously the Knicks would be considered because they like to have players that draw in crowds since they are not going to be serious playoff contenders |

Start him off the bench from the get go. If he pouts, then send him home. I'd rather the team build their chemistry around the players already signed minus Westbrook. _________________ The road back to the top... |

TBD if that's a feasible path - may be what we're looking at as the only real option barring a change in where things stand _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

We stuck with him because Jeanie wasn't willing to purge Klutch... _________________

Russ should just gun for the Shaqtin mvp. At least that's entertaining.
With Russ staying, I don't think many fans are optimistic about title chances at all. I just hope the coaching staff play the best guys on any given night and at least give the fans something to cheer for. |
