Like making the playoffs and and beating Vancouver in the first round? Both were instrumental in that.
People have really short memories. Russell is not going to make or break this team but we are not at the level of Chicago yet. Outside our promising core the lower ranks of the team are still pretty meh. I see no harm having a guy like this who is a known quantity fill out the gaps in the team.
