Upcoming year is a big year for Russell. He either makes big strides like Randle did for his contract year or he doesn't and gets signed to a modest contract. D'lo always says the right things, but he's got to translate that to the basketball court.

after 5 years, they finally own their own pick and can happily be very bad and get something for it next year.

He would get obliterated every night checking opposing small forwards.


Yeah he's not a forward ever, he's a guard and should continue playing that position. I think Tyreke Evans got ruined for a while mostly because he transformed himself to play SF full time when he's really a big guard.

As a Nets fan, it wouldn't hurt me if he was traded this off season, but we won't get much for him so rather just let him play out his contract and then see.

Fair enough. Still think Shooting guard would work better for him than running the point.

Could be just me, I don't think anyone cares about Nick Young anymore.

second year in a row he has said that...he should probably just do it instead of every offseason talking about he is gonna be a leader....Lakers made a great trade in trading him to brooklyn.
