If they trade Russell this year then yes I think you can keep Wideman until the deadline next year but Brodie needs to slide back to the left

I am on board with trading Russell this year. If this team is going to win long term, it is with Gio, Brodie and Hamilton as big 3 on D and more value priced guys, younger players making up the balance.
IMO it's a fantasy that Russell (or any other player) is going to sign this cheap, discounted contract so last thing we need is another big contract that hamstrings the rebuilding efforts.
