Russ deserves his money. You still have contracts you can move for another star and Adams and VO have star potential. It's still a good roster and there are opportunities that could present themselves. Barring zika, arrests or injuries one team is going to be hard to beat so it is what it is.

I don't begrudge him getting paid whatsoever. He's the type of guy you absolutely pay. However, it's going to be hard to resign guys like Adams and Oladipo the year after next. That, of course, is still a ways in the future though.

Canter getting $18 million a year certainly doesn't help.

They can match any offer on Adams and VO and will. They were well over the cap last year and are willing to do so again. The plan IMO will be to move Kanter and other contracts to aquire a more well rounded star. That's more likely to happen next year We shall see. Either way 2 more years of Russ is a win. Not even I thought he would stay if Durant bolted.

Russ will be able to reup with the Thunder for over 200 million after this extension

Hes probably going to be there for awhile,

The preseason is off to a good start.

Warriors 89, Clippers 36 was a real score.
