Remember when the Knicks sat Marbury?
Houston with Wall
Philly with Simmons
Do Rob and Frank have the balls to just sit him for a year? We’d be better without him. Approach him with a buyout offer, he’ll decline, then you sit him out a year.

Pretty much this. Monk is playing well. Reaves is decent. SJ adds energy. Nunn is coming back. Once a healthy AD comes back, the defense should improve a bit. We'll be alright. It just hurts to watch now mainly because of Russ.

Only way I could imagine us trading Russ is if we bench him and he gets frustrated. Vogel would never though.

I got it boys....
Rubio out for the year. Collin Sexton out for the year.
Trade Russ to CLE, they'll need him in their push to make the playoffs in the East. Rob just needs to remind CLE that Russ balls in the Eastern Conference when the playoffs start.
Then help ORL clear cap space by trading 3 expiring contracts

We can’t compare a top 75 superstar player making 47M per year who we traded championship role players for to a 20 year old making 10M per year still developing. Come on now

can we compare him to a player we chose not to keep
a player who was arguably our best perimeter defender and was leading the league in steals

Gonna trade DJ or Baze and cash to a team to open a roster spot at the very least, me thinks.

Bazemore has a little value so I think it's him who will be dealt. Unfortunately, I don't think we have any other moves to make aside from that.

He is just tanking any trade value he may have so he can stay in LA. He will start playing like a top 75 player Feb 10 @ 3:01pm ET.

I haven’t seen Laker fans collectively hate on a player like Russ is getting it rn ever.
It just makes me question Pelinka, Lebron & AD. What were they thinking man. We played Houston in the bubble and Russ was a train wreck. Why did they think they could fix that? Is it because Russ’ value was so low that he was the only 3rd superstar available? Why were so thirsty for a 3rd “star”.

We’re thirsty for a 3rd star because AD can’t even stay healthy to be the 2nd star

Russ played well in the playoffs for WAS last year in the one series he played in. Apparently that was enough for Team Klutch and Rob to trade for him LOL and convince themselves he's the playmaking savior who will extend Bron's career by taking a lot of the load off the King.
Boy were they wrong af.
Now they stuck with a $47M liability
