After Russell executed the player option, the terrible facts were exposed? What's going on? It's incredible! #头条首发大赛##头条创作挑战赛#
According to US media reports, Russell has decided to exercise the player option for the final year. Russell said he exercised the player option because he thought the Lakers had a very good chance of winning a championship under Redick.
And with Russell exercising the player option and staying with the Lakers, this also exposes the terrible truth! Russell is going to be traded. Why?
Before Russell exercised the player option, there were rumors that the Lakers would not hesitate to trade him if he decided to exercise the player option, as the Lakers no longer wanted to be dragged down by Russell.
Although Russell's performance in the regular season was okay, once it came to the playoffs, Russell showed his original form, crazy collapse, and judged the regular season.
This is the second season in a row that Russell has pulled his hip in the playoffs. So the Lakers can't keep Russell with the Lakers anymore, and their goal is to compete for a championship. It is absolutely not allowed to have a drag on the back leg of the Lakers in the playoffs.
So if the Lakers were to send Russell away, where would they send him? It will be very difficult for Russell to send him away, because the whole league knows that Russell pulls his hip as soon as he arrives in the playoffs.
For those teams that are aiming to win the championship, I'm afraid Russell won't want it. So the Lakers are likely to send Russell to those weak teams.
Although Russell can't play in the playoffs, he can still play in the regular season. It is still attractive for those who are weak, and his contract is only one year and is about to expire. It's also attractive for teams that want to free up salary space.
It's just that if the Lakers want to trade Russell, capable players may have to come up with some first-round picks, otherwise it will be difficult to exchange for powerful players.
If Russell leaves the Lakers, he may be about to start a wandering career, and his next job should not pay very much. It shouldn't exceed 20 million years of annual salary, is that true?
