They misused him, they tried to bench him, they denigrated his character, they called him a vampire, but he stayed ready.

    It was flawed from the beginning. They dumped all their shooters for him as if it wasn’t transparent that Bron teams were built around Bron passing to shooters.

    Great seeing this man smiling all the time again.

    He kept it solid the whole time. Gotta love him.

    I hate to say I told folks so, but his run with the lakers was more a result of him not fitting in with their system and the media playing it as if he was washed up rather than the Lakers making a bad risk. When he first joined the clips, folks in here ate up the media about him.

  4. So are the clippers gonna pay him next year?

    Well also Lakers paid him $47M a year to misuse him, blame him, and bench him. I don’t know about you, but I’d be happy to come off the bench for $47M.

    Are the Clippers planning to re-sign him for $47M next year?

    I really don’t understand this ribbing. He made some shots in the beginning of the game but he only played 20 min of the game. He didn’t step foot on the court in 4th. That is exactly what he is as a player now. Lakers can’t afford to do that by paying him 47 mill. What is so hard to understand?

    What I hate is the fact that the Lakers legit coulda had the same team they have now if they woulda just went after role players that fit over Russ who was making 47 mill which made it hard to acquire depth. They legit set him up for failure. I think it woulda been diff had he been a FA. Then Rob Pelinka legit got a bunch of fuckin pgs for some reason. THen they placed all the blame on him. Whats sad is how Lakers fans will excuse AD for dear life no matter what but shit on Russ. Including the FO legit AD shoulda been gone with Russ by now.
