what makes it even weirder is you never heard anyone talk about russ in the locker room for his entire career

Nope

Complain about fit all u want but don't assassinate the man. He is everything you want from an athlete off the court.

I hope he gets a shot with another team

Russ played the game then went home to his family. Then the next morning he was the first guy at the practice facility. Just who he is.

Yep and that's why whoever said that is a hater and full of shit. This is year 15 for and not a negative word said was ever said about him

Except for his fashion…

Oh man, Reaves just crossed up Giannis for an uncontested layup. Hillbilly Kobe!

Lakers playing tough early.

There are some negatives this year with the Lakers. Coaches wanted him bought out or sent home if not traded apparently.

He has never been relegated to the bench or benched in crunch time his entire career either. As confident as he is, he also hears all the criticism in the press and from fans. It has to boil over at some point.

Up 8 at the half...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Not a bad half from the short handed Lakers. Don’t expect them to win but they’re playing pretty good

[wildturkey]

Just explain to her what an analogy is. She'll live and her teachers will be super impressed

 

[fightinfunbags]

I know things had been difficult.

He has some blame in that.

But, he’s gone.

Why feel the need to kick him on the way out.

I could see if he did a scathing interview, released a malicious quote.

He didn’t….so, kinda uncalled for.

Why? Because he’s gone and they still aren’t good.

Reggie Miller in tonight’s Bucks - Lakers game…
“Anthony Davis grimacing after that play. Laker fans don’t want to see that. Every time Davis grimaces it’s three weeks.”

He wasn’t wrong

Yep, came up short. To be expected, the Bucks starting hitting more jumpers in the second half.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bucks are going for their 10th straight win on Friday.
They'll face the Clippers in LA after winning their 9th in a row on Thursday against the Lakers.

So…

Warriors get: GPII; give Wiseman
Hawks get: Bey; give: 5 #2s
Pistons get: Wiseman; give: Knox, Bey
Blazers get: Knox, 5 #2s; give: GPII

loser = Dubs (Wiseman for GPII? Seriously?)
winner = Hawks, Blazers
wash = Pistons (edging towards a winner)

They needed to trade Wiseman and Kuminga 2 years ago.

Could have retuned a star at that point.

Kerr was never going to give Wiseman the court time he needed to develop, and with every passing week sitting on the bench his trade value declined.

Rare instance of the Warriors getting in totally wrong in this era.

 

[tlance]

PUT SOME RESPEK ON ROB'S NAME!!!!

They moved the picks and returned some talent.

I will give him credit for that.

Think they could have done better (specifically Turner and Hield), but they got better at the deadline with the kind of deal it looked like they were unwilling to make.

 

[tlance]

Wow.

Phoenix got KD but they really need to add some buyout players.....their depth is really not so good right now.

Their depth is fine.

Craig, Londale, Lee, Okogie, Wainwright, Shamet

All capable of playing roles on a star heavy team.
