Best place for entertaining purposes is probably the Knicks to see him against KD and Kyrie 5x a year but he would definitely need a Bradley Beal or someone close to make it worth it. Personally, I think if the Rockets as re serious about keeping Harden then trading Russ to the Magic for Fournier and Aaron Gordon is a smart play for them and Russ best option where he can run the show and still be on a playoff team. Him and Vucevic would be a pretty solid duo in the east and with a couple more pieces would have the East at least 6 teams deep. If HOU decides to trade both then theres a lot that could happen. If the TWolves offer #1 pick, 2023 1st round pick and DLO and some other pieces I can see him there with KAT, and a bunch of other scenarios. Gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out in the next 2 weeks

I’m not a fan of Durant but he definitely recognized you can’t win a title with Harden or Westbrook before anyone else. He made the right call going to GS. I see that move a little differently now.

[@triggv602]

Russ never has been the number 1 on a team that was all in on him and actually built to be that way. The same thing happened to Jimmy Butler for years... they needed a culture to embrace them for what others called their flaws.. yes, russell cant shoot but hes still good for 25 point triple double pretty much every night... thats not some easy skillset to come across and find on the street... in OKC he compromised himself for PG in order to get him to resign even though PG was the one who let Russ down the year before... that resulted in PG being an "MVP Candidate" before the injuries threw them out of rhythm and they were sent hime by Dame... hes then traded by the team that blows up the operation only 2 real years into it...while never surrounding him with true complimentary. This year, he was moved off ball because of James and both of them are creators on the court...

[@alloe6609]

Never been the #1 option? How about 2015-2016? 2016-2017? Then OKC thought to bring in some help in the form of PG and Carmelo for 2017-2018. You're telling me he wasn't the #1 on the team? Also left out 2018-2019. You're telling me he wasn't #1 option....ever?

[@artofmartialcinemaamc5334]

Best playoff team I see making a play for him are the Magic trading Aaron Gordon and Fournier, and that's the best place for him to run his own show and he'd have a capable running mate that's an All Star Center that can shoot and defend. The PnR would be pretty solid with Vucevic and Westbrook and they have a top 15 defender still on their team, they'd just need 2-3 more pieces to be a threat in the East. Other than that, the Knicks are the only team I see giving a good package for him that won't actually improve their team or the Rockets into a win now move.
