I would have shipped out Richardson, Powell, Brunson and Kleber for Russ in a heart beat when his trade value was low around January and Febuary.
This team needs a pitbull type player like Russ.

I agree.
And I understand Westbrook isn't the ideal superstar we'd want. I'd love to have KD over him. I'd love to Kawhi. But superstars aren't available and Westbrook is probably the most attainable guy out there. One thing about him is you don't have to question is hunger. You don't have to question his motor. He's going to give 100% every single night.
