    Russ was lucky to be out today. He escaped the wrath of
    KELJIN BLEVINS

    I refuse to believe this is a real person. Also, he's only in the NBA cause he's Dame's cousin.

    He had a choice.

    From what I recall he asked for a trade (didn't demand publicly) to better help him win and management was willing to work with him since he had been with the organization so long. I think it was clear the team wasn't going to win with him there

    but CP went there and surprised everyone with the group of guys he was given...

    You may be right. I just don't remember the circumstances with OKC at that time. I guess I was too focused on the Rockets' situation. Never thought it was him who forced the trade.

    Should have never left OKC. He could have stayed and continue to be a folk hero to the people in Oklahoma with his triple doubles and .500 teams. No one would have expected anything more from him.

    It would be the same situation w Wall. They would not have played him this much. He would likely just be collecting a check and sitting at home.

    ”I had no problems with the hamstring,” Iverson said. “I had a problem with my butt from sitting on that bench so long. That’s the only thing I got a problem with.”

    Westbrook is delusional like Melo was a few years ago, uncoachable and no accountability.

    That video of him trying to talk up LeBron and AD after that recent loss was cringeworthy.

    Except Rozier and Ball are both better than him so why do they need another guard?

    It was just the Jordan connection. It was a random, dumb prediction.

    LerBon, surprise surprise, has largely escaped blame.

    LeBron averages good stats and escapes blame for his team being bad. Westbrook has largely been available this season.

    Harden averages good stats but gets crapped on for his team being bad. Kyrie has largely been unavailable, this season.

    Media just needs someone to hate, and they're damn sure not going to hate on LeBron.

    Russ's problem in a nutshell: Desire to win but at the same time not without him getting all the glory.
