There is obviously reason to expect him to improve, but he has a long way to go to be worth 30 mil a year. Its hard to see that contract making him appealing in a trade.
I also have had visions of Russ actually contributing by coming off the bench and dominating second units, but I think its very unlikely he is willing to do it, and I am with KL regarding chemistry concerns with Brunson and probably Powell leaving and the primary add being Wood. I don't think we want to push it even farther with guys like Russ and Schroder.
Is RJ Barrett a Russell Westbrook starter kit?
