    i'm confused as to why he'd leave denver? it's maybe the only team in the league that can actually play him because they have the ideal center pairing--otherwise, you're like us and houston and realizing that on offense, russ is your center, which makes lineups basically impossible to construct.

    I’m just so happy every time I see this thread in the NBA section instead of the Laker section.

    I just looked it up. He has a player option for next year. I wonder if Denver would decline if it was a team option.

    After last night's unfortunate sequence of events for him, I just had to say something here. Saw a bit of what looked like a confrontation with a fan as he walked off. Sad...

    yeah, it's too bad denver is just another team in a long line of bad cultures aimed suppressing the russ. supprussing, if you will.

    5 total coaches fired in five years with Westbrick... I think we can all agree that coaching was the problem

    Letting Russ be Russ comes at a cost.

    coach tries to go against russ (vogel)? fired. coach backs russ (malone)? fired.

    only the sweet sweet baby jesus tyronn lue survives the russ. and he basically just kept his head down and survived it.

    seriously, though, if i were a coach, i just wouldn't want to touch the russ situation. he's just too big of a personality. it was fine when he was good, but now that he's firmly a backup who should play 20mpg, it's just so tough to manage.

    and i actually think the reports of him being basically a good guy off the floor makes it even harder? how do you sit him? he's a hofer. people love him. he plays hard and cares.
