Russell has a great attitude about his situation. He knows he may not be the best fit for what Golden State wants to do in the backcourt. Let’s be real, the Warriors worked out the sign-and-trade for Russell because they wanted to get something in return for losing Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets.

Long-term it’s hard to see how the Warriors keep Russell on a max contract alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. That’s an insanely imbalanced roster financially.

We’ll see how this plays out.
