On the topic of Russell I wonder if he's best served to sign a one year show me deal as its hard to imagine him getting anything close to what he and his agent were envisioning on July 1st. I expect he must have had one or two decent offers tabled on the first week and whether it be poor advice of his agent or his own hesitation Russell may have cost himself his lone opportunity for a big pay day. On the flip side if he signs a one year deal and gets hurt or proves his critics right by being terrible he could see his career revert back to being a bubble player. It will be interesting to see how things play out for him.
