Russell Westbrick Discussion: Clipper Gonna Clip

Ham Balls?

 

Yeah there was something like that much later in the year, but Vogel, who Russ claims never had any heart to hearts with him ..... is a "players coach" and still hoped to see better out of him plus we had so many guys out and so many that just sucked period.

 

Thank you.

 

AND .... importantly as mentioned yesterday, if he doesn't cop an attitude and is just "decent" coming off the bench in that role (of course we hope "good" at it) ..... this buys him a lot of good will (hopefully) to not be mercilessly booed for all the typical things he does in games that fans are raw from and disgusted about seeing again still in our starting lineup. And getting us off to crappy starts and hamstringing that lineup.

 

It is a contract year for him: he's made an obscene amount of money and has a bunch of businesses so unless he totally mismanaged his money he's got generational wealth. But a contract is a contract and we're talking a real chance at getting like close to 7 million for a vet MLE if he plays well vs being out of the league

It's not the best motivation but there is definitely some: 7 million is not something to balk at even with Russ's previous contracts

 

It's believable. Russ with his lame duck status, no one gives a damn about his feelings. Of course, the Lakers could have done the same with Vogel who also did not have a healthy LBJ or AD for long stretches. And it's reported that Russ didn't like how Vogel used him, but he's ok with coming off the bench here, maybe we were wrong about the guy to an extent.

 

Make that a smoked country ham from Tennessee and you got it...lol.

 

Maybe the problem wasn't vog

 

I don't remember watching at all. I watched more of Schroder and Paul.

Nevertheless, I would imagine both of them attacking downhill in space and in transition could possibly work against second units. Unfortunately, Schroder is out today, but let's see how it goes tonight.

 

And again, I'm sick of this em effer's b******g about no trade happening and Pelinka's "failure" at that because he "didn't get it". What a moronic take. We all heard the reporting of how it was going with the other teams in Indiana and Utah, where most of the interest was after the Nets fell through, that were trying to screw us with the picks asked for to take Russ whom NO ONE wants. So if Rob makes one of those deals blowing up any shot a real star potentially asking out in the future, would this a-hole be praising him for it? No, he'd be ripping him for mortgaging the future to fix HIS mistake in trading for WB. As if that was Rob's call. Which deal would Irwin have mortgaged the future for that he had actual knowledge of what was on the table from those GMs. GTFOH.

 

Yeah, sorry not directed at you. But he wants to criticize that Russ is still here as some short sighted Rob failure, when what was the good deal and trade that screwed us for the future he would have done? Has he ever said?
