atransta @itsaboutthattime @datznasty I was listening to RoyceYoung on Al's show yesterday and.....I'm not going to lie it made me a little nervous.
It gave me the same feelings I had when KD was deciding.
WHere he was so confident in KD and in his sources, that KD would sign.
I don't think Russ has any intentions on leaving.
I also don't think Russ has any intentions on signing that new deal before the Season starts.
I just hope this doesn't cause Sam to trade him if he doesn't.
I'm sure they talk or/and have talked about this in depth, things we know nothing about.
There was a caller, another Sports Writer I think that called in shortly after and he made some really good points.
It doesn't benefit Russ to sign now.
I forget the exact ins and outs of the convo but the short version was if Russ signs now, he only has one more Full Contract he can sign after this one and that would leave him going into FA at the age of 32 if he signs this new deal.
If he waits and signs next year, then he will be signing what will likely be his last "MAX/Full" contract at the age of 3o, a much more profitable position considering his age and playing style.
The thing that makes me nervous is last year he signed quick, and he said "if you know where you want to be, why wait...just sign"
Well, maybe he doesn't know where he wants to be anymore?
Anyway.....what's his date to sign? October 16th? Yea I don't think we see anything before then, and maybe not after....we shall see.
Thoughts?
I don't think Russ will leave OKC either (he is pretty much a God there and he probably values that they are going all out now to get PG and what not) but yeah there is no point of him signing now.
Don't take Sam would trade Russ if he doesn't sign it before the season, just go for it all this year with a bang
so if russ leaves, okc fans gon throw a fit too or nah?
Only if he went to the Warriors
