have a feeling someone is going to max him. If we can get to over 32 million in space and if we can get him to agree to be more than 16 million then I'd be all for it

I just can’t see Russell not getting maxed this offseason. I think Lakeshow’s best bet would be a short term deal if he wanted to ring chase and get extended with a *wink wink* deal down the line. They’re going to need some sort of miracle like that where a big name or two want to come play there due to the Warriors injuries and take less money (potentially much less money), and probably make some “down the line” promises.

Guy was an all star on a playoff team last year. I not only think he’ll get maxed, I think he’ll get to choose from multiple max offers. I wouldn’t want the pels to max him personally either (not saying it’s even a consideration on his part).
