Would you trade russell for top 5 pick this draft?

[Kirito]

I would gamble on him doing way better next year and trade him then for better assets next off season . I think he will be a cancer thanks to teammates not being able to trust him....

I'd consider trading him for Noel, until I saw that commercial.

I don't even know if I'd do it for Simmons. I'm really high on Russell.

I can only envision a few scenarios where trading him is viable.
Aquiring the 2017 #1 pick.
In a trade where a player received/drafted creates more symmetry with team direction and playing with Ingram.
Lastly, if he had worn out his welcome in LA.

IF D'Lo is serious about his future here under Walton's leadership, then I see NO scenario where he is traded.

I personally hope he becomes the player we all see him becoming!

Unless the top 5 pick is Ben Simmons, no

Not even sure I'd trade Russell for Simmons. Russell is already a terrific shooter from NBA 3. He has great vision. With the right coach that we have now, we know Russell is going to be a star next season.
