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.
