On Monday, the war is, general manager Bob Myers said.

Quote.

We didn't sign him with the intention to just trading him.

Pablo, You buying that.

I am buying that.

The word just in that sentence is doing a lot of legally defensible work because, sure, they want to actually play him this season.

They do.

They need the Angelo Russell it was Clay Thompson is not somebody who is ambulatory at the current moment, but he could walk around.

He can't walk that so, so bomani.

Yes, technically, it's true.

But the Angel Russell man, you put it.

He knows he's an asset first and foremost because Clay Thompson will come back and you will be able to walk again.

I mean, I don't think trading him is playing a, but it's definitely playing.

So when he says, Yeah, we did not trade and get him just to trade him, I do think that's correct.

I think they hope the best case scenario is that D'Angelo Russell is an All Star and I think I understand why people believe that.

Maybe, just maybe, he could be that he's also a dude who spent a lot of time in an offense running, pick and roll who now goes to the team that runs the least pick and rolls in the MBA, right?

It does not seem to be a great fit.

It seems to be the logical conclusion of this that they will ultimately trade him.

I'm not quite on the Clay Thompson going to be back and everything's okay.

Program, like Clay Thompson will come back and play.

Thompson, though, is older than he was before.

He is coming off from some sort of A C L injury, and even with Clay Thompson there, they probably need somebody else like D.

Angelo.

Russell is like, to me, that's not the line about This is just a matter whether that dude's a fit for what the Warriors actually want to do.

I do feel like when D'Angelo Russell is playing with Draymond Green, they will do more pick and roll stuff.

I would imagine that it's kind of the only thing they really have faith in his ability to do, because even as a three point shooter, not the most accurate guy, but couldn't get his own shot in that way.

Become February vote.

When Clay Thompson is back in the A, C.

L is better to recover from then the Achilles.

Thankfully, for the Warriors, I do think they're gonna have a logjam at that position.

And at that point, what is the Angelo Russell become a guy who can get you something else?

That is that a logjam, though Curry, Russell Thompson Green and whoever you want to put at five like played can play all three is the issue at the same time.

Too much overlapping skills, not people who too many guys who can shoot.
