I say we sign him to start him at the 3. Boki almost definetly isn't ready to play NBA level defense and who knows about Rice's health/skills left. Russell has been a 3, not a 2, most of his career. It is a bonus that he can play spot back-up 2 minutes. That is how I look at it.
I think we've had about three other threads on this, but I say absolutley, SIGN HIM NOW!!! We are probably NOT going to sign SHARD, and if we do it won't be for the MCE, so let's go ahead use it NOW!!!
Russell will sign with the Wizards, probably as soon as this coming week. He's been in steady contact with MJ. Imagine that. Supposedly they've been friends for a while now.
Not unless he's going to sign for the $1 million exception. Washington already used their entire mid-level exception on Larry Hughes.
I would have LOVED to have had Bryron Russell, maybe if we all pray hard enough, God will shine it in our favor huh
