Enough smoke to probably split this from the “potential players” hypothetical thread lol

Russ’s agent is Jeff Schwartz, famous for putting out that statement when Walton benched Marvin Bagley

So if Monk is out, it has to be for a wing/forward you would think. PJ Washington makes a lot of sense, and Monk fills a need for Dallas.

I think there’s serious smoke to the Kuminga sign and trade rumors.

So if you are Russ it’s down to chance to win a championship or be close to family. Tough call given his age if I was him I’d take the Knicks offer. They could come out of the East and he would fit there. But being close to family is a big draw too

You think Russ wants to play for Mike Brown?!

But does it work? I think I heard the Warriors can only take back half of what Kuminga signs for.

I'm down with Russ!

I'm down on Russ! Ever since he refused to let other players bring the ball up the court when he signed with the Lakers. Frank Vogel finally made him come off the bench.

Russ is a big NO for me as well... age is a concern, so is shot selection, and not sure about him as a locker room presence with so many young guys on the roster.

Dumping an asset to get back into the first round and then immediately blocking the guy drafted with that pick by signing two past their prime veterans nobody else is even pursuing is about as on-brand as it gets for the Kings. In fact, Scott Perry was only with the team for 4 months in his last Kings tenure and he managed to do the exact same thing.

Hopefully, they are not trading down in next years draft to get two picks and missing out on both.
