Because Russell is old and the one quality that made him dangerous, his legs to extend plays, are no longer a weapon. And he’s going to get older. And older.
Because once Wilson’s contract really kicks in you now have $50m less to spend on support players.
Because the only way to make this work is either let Russell be Russell and piss off every teammate. Or force him to get in line which probably gets you in a deshaun Watson situation where you pay $50m to a guy who will sulk and drain and pout for 4 years. No coach is fixing that.
And not only do you not have draft picks because you traded for russell. You lose even more picks trading for Payton.
It’s a disaster.
