    Next step is to leave him on the bench the whole game.

    Saw the Woj headline and got my hopes up for a trade. This is a step in the right direction, however

  6. Capoh

    Darvin really did in a few preseason games what Vogel didn’t the entire last season god damn

  7. xCeePee

    I feel like giving a round of applause for this

  8. New_Stage_6228

    Ahhh shif. Now THIS is the beginning of the end right here.

    We’ll get to see a Nunn and Bev starting lineup

  10. dantech2390

    It might actually work. I think he just doesn’t gel with LeBron and AD.

    Maybe with a bunch of scrubs around him, he’ll be able to run a decent offense.

    Biggest W if so, will put the W in Westbrook

  12. edillcolon

    Strap in, lads. It could be a bumpy ride.

  14. icykkuno

    This is either the first indicator of a trade incoming, or maybe we finally see Russ flourish as a ball dominant guard

  15. kanekikochaboggy

    Praying that this works out. Bron and AD can play there game and Russ can go wild from the bench

  16. lakeshow_53

    To this day, it blows my mind that it matters to players whether they start or not. The most important thing should be total minutes and whether or not you’re playing in crunch time

  17. YesterShill

    About time. Russ coming in when LBJ goes out is the only way he makes sense for this team.

  19. brendanhahaha

    Imagine if Russ just kills it with the second unit LMAO

  21. Bahamut727

    Hope JTA starts

    AD Bron JTA Reaves Bev maybe?

    Russ off the bench with Nunn since he’s our third best player

    47 million on the bench is comedy, but I’m intrigued about how Westbrook approach this

  28. opeth2310

    It could work but is Russ going to be mature about it or think it’s his time to shoot all the time.

  30. bryantmclovin

    I wanna see dennis and bev starting. Have nunn and westbrook command 2nd unit

  31. bouncedsteak

    Man thought this was the trade tweet at first reading

  32. Bipolar1324

    Ham
