Bryon Russell considering an NBA return. 

Post#1 » by JStockLivesOn » Mon Feb 23, 2009 6:56 am

No, it's not a joke --

"Bryon Russell is interested in making a return to the NBA, and his agent has had conversations with the Celtics, 76ers, Thunder, and Suns.

Russell, who has been allowing a knee injury to heal, says that he's capable of playing 15-20 minutes a night.

'I want to help some playoff teams and get back into the game that I love,' said Russell of playing in Boston. 'I work out every day. The rust part can get worked out just by playing with the fellas. I wouldn't take away from The Big Three [in Boston]. I would love to play with them. I have nothing to prove. I want to lend a helping hand with the loss of [James ] Posey by playing defense, knocking down jump shots, and basically playing the role of a Posey. I got some life in these legs. Now that the [trade] deadline is over, I think people are looking to add a veteran on their squad. I'm hoping I can provide that.'"

Russ, you were atrocious your last year with us. Then you went on to be even worse after that. Your knee isn't the problem.

Actually he went to LA in 03-04, the same year Malone did, no championship. :-(
