Russ never played with a big as skilled as vuc, could be a great pick and roll duo
True, Westbrook and Vuc fit well on theory, Russ will destroy defenses and provide assists for Vuc to score in a variety of easy ways around the paint, BUT...just think about what would our perimeter offense look like with non-shooters like Fultz, Russ, Iwundu, Aminu, AG and on and off unreliable guards like TRoss and the French croissant. Not a good future perspective.
If the price to acquire was comparable, you have to put CP3 back in the mix too. He's a far better shooter and less reliant on his athleticism than Russ. He's also got one less year on his equally huge deal. He did very well in OKC and, again, could play very well with Vuc, IMO. I secretly believe that he alone resurrected Schroeder and may have inflated SGA as well. Good players look great with a leader like CP3. Only huge ego guys like Blake bristle about CP3 holding everyone accountable. There would be no power struggle here...only concern I'd have would be CP3's level of enthusiasm for another salvage operation...he may feel he earned his right to contend with his hard humble work last year on OKC.
I'd be down for either but CP3 would constitute less risk than Russ, IMO.
