tbh. I am wanting to fleece the Lakers sooo badly! Russ is in a terrible situation to succeed. He needs space, and the Lakers have the least in the league. If we sent out THJ/Bertans for Russ and picks, (and if Russ will agree to run the bench unit), then we would be amazing. Using current sub pattern, I would love to have mcgee/SD sub out and in comes Russ/Wood - that lineup would slay! Russ/Green/Maxi/Wood with Doncic/SD would be an amazing second lineup. Russ would be able to go back to being an attacking player with spot up shooters, rather than needing to BE the spot up shooter that the Lakers dysfunctional lineup requires him to be. I want the Lakers to continue to lose and be willing to throw both future FRP's in, and then squeeze that trigger. Clean up the cap, get some future picks for ammo, and rehab a HOF player who is being misused in LA. I can't believe I am saying this, but I would do it. That's how badly I want to move on from 3 years of THJ/Bertans and want another ball handler/distributor/creator. Btw, I have wanted GH for a long time as well - just don't think he is as available.
