    Only reason he provided was trust issues due to the young incident, he didn't actually provide any basketball reasons and neither did the r***** rose

    I wonder if it's a confidence builder to crap on those guys? He really could do whatever he wanted out there. Still good to see him active. I saw him finish with his right hand once or twice.

    He really was a bully. Many of his buckets would've been whistled off in the nba.

    Good to see. This kid hasn't even scratched the surface. He's already got great skill and talent. Putting this work in will allow him to draw fouls and finish through contact better. Won't have these little knick nack injuries. Will be able to handle physical defense better and be more physical himself on both ends. Great stuff.

    The majority of us here play better D than Har en... :cool:

    Russell's offseason so far has been full of activity from conditioning to being on the floor a lot...then the Olympic Trials...the Summer League. He should be in tune, in shape by the time training camp rolls around.

    If anything it appears he's learning game from Draymond Green, swinging kicks between the opponents legs.

    He's hoping he looks like Clarkson did last year, like he outclassed the competition.

    Just a heads up to brace yourself guys. If/when we strike out on free agents, I'm sure BSPN is going to make up some reports about "sources" telling them that nobody wanted to come because they didn't trust Russell. They'll make up some rumors about us shopping him and try to push that narrative. They'll do it just for the sake of crapping on us, but also because they probably want to brainwash the fans who seriously pay attention to them into believing it; hoping that eventually it puts enough public pressure to force us into giving up on a great prospect while his value is low.

    ESPN probably loves us being bad. They honestly probably get just as much (if not more) hits/attention from Laker fans when we're bad as when we're good.
