    He absolutely was the most consistent Laker last season. What else is she gonna say anyway, she’s supposed to trash him? No way, gotta keep that value at slightly negative not any worse.

    I think we're past slightly negative. More of a "gotta keep that value at dumpster level, can't set the dumpster on fire."

    Russ is going to ball out this season. That dude has way more left in the tank than a lot of folks think.

    You know, I must admit, I want to see them try to play together for all the wrong reasons.

    I agree that he has something left in the tank and could be an asset if he chooses to be. I was excited when we got him, though my excitement did not last long. My concern is will his ego allow him to accept the role Coach Ham has for him. His attitude and body language were cringe worthy and hard to watch last season. In all fairness other than Austin Reaves and a couple of flashes from the young guys the entire season was a disaster. Russ is stat driven. Accepting a role on a winning team will almost certainly result in a less impressive stat line. Can he be a team guy? Starting to look like we will be finding out.

    If someone showed me this during the bubble playoff run in 2020, I would have LMAO. Seeing this now makes me want to cry.

    We basically traded high level role players like Caruso, Kuz and KCP from that run...for those two knuckleheads.

    I've already said though, I will probably be able to count on one hand at the end of the season how many minutes of Laker basketball I will watch. At some point, there has to be SOMEONE on the team that I like. Right now it's maybe...Austin? Like, that's kind of it. The rest I either hate, or know nothing about. I guess Damian Jones is OK.

    *looks in Russ’s tank*
    (Sifting through mountains of unforced turnovers, shots off the side of the backboard, apathetic defense, and passive-aggressive-stubborn-blame-shifting-uninsightful attitude)
    “Yep, plenty of that left in there.”

    I think she meant, "most available." Or maybe she's doing damage control after saying how she's looking forward to seeing Bron, AD, and Nunn next year. Clearly forget they haven't dumped Russ yet.

    Need to know what is meant by "in contact."

    Technically, this is "in contact"

    I got to say there were a few good joke post the last couple pages. Anytime I can come into the Russ thread and not be pissed he’s still on our team is a plus.
