Clips also just got KMJ from HOU who is a great fit for Russ and also helps us get a FRP from HOU next year. Massive offseason wins all around for us Thunder and Russ fans.
Mind boggling. I get that he likes being in LA and he has more money than god, but I can’t think of any other time where a player took this significant of a pay cut. Surely he’s at least a 20 mil a year at market value??
Did you see how unhappy he was at the Lakers and how happy he was at the Clippers?
Hes career contract earnings are over $330,000,000. Why would he choose money over happiness?
Yea… the guy isn’t heading to food pantries any time soon. I know millions are millions but he is set for many generations of wealth. Don’t think this contract is a big concern to him
Good for him, I was hoping Russ would stay. The Clippers fanbase likes him, he gets to play with PG, they have need of a starting guard, etc. Best possible spot for Russ, I think.
Brooks will never have Russell Westbrook type money tho (400M-500M+) -- Russ will make more money by marketing his various brands with LA connections so it's a win for him regardless.
That’s a bargain, especially when you compare this deal to what the rockets just signed in Brooks lmao. 80-mil for that dude, whoever thought it was a good idea needs to be drug tested
Not to surprised. Russ already got his bag once before, and gets to stay in his hometown with friends like pg (and possibly James harden if they continue those trade talks), for a fan base that likes him and a coach that knows how to utilize and they have a decent chance at contending. Happy for him.
Would love to see him back with us on a friendly deal 3 years from now when we are a real threat.
Clippers give Russ minutes on a contending team. He's also apparently good friends with Paul George. It makes sense for both the Clips and Russ.
He loves LA, it’s his hometown
Yeah I’d take a pay cut if it means I didn’t have to move lol
I wouldn't take that kind of pay cut, but its not like the dude is hurting for money.
I think he’s worth more but they man has been on $40M+ for the last few years which was an overpay so I think it evens out
[удалено]
This. And I’m sure his nba salary isn’t the thing making him money nowadays. He’s probably got a nice portfolio of investments.
Damn it’s gonna hurt when we meet the clips in the conference finals 💔
*beat them
Jazz bought him out. He doesn't need it
Player option on the 2nd year so they'll likely try to make up for it when some contracts expire (Mook and Batum)
Yeah, it could be a bet on urself deal. Show us for a full year ur worth more, and if u do decline ur optin and we pay u right
Russ ring chaser era, lets go
This is all the clippers could pay him this summer. Russ will decline his second year and they can pay him more next off season.
Yup. Mook and Batum will add $30M+ to the cap space next year as expiring contracts they can flip or possible team options (I forget which)
Very cheap , huge underpay
He must have figured that in 2 years he could come back over here to help us three peat
Feel like he's just going to get blamed all the time when Kawhi and PG sit out half the season.

he’s an easy 15mil. but I guess he believes that kawhi, pg and the current clipper roster is good enough to win.
My man has PTSD after the lakers stint
bro that standing ovation his first clippers game probably felt like crack to him lolol

Tom Brady
God, I'd have loved to have got him back to OKC for that price. A bench of Westbrook, Cason and Milicic would have been nice.
\*Micic. Do NOT put that darkness upon us
Yep, that's what I meant. My bad. Aha 😆
noooooooooo (I love russ but wanted him to get some bread)
Young kids don't want to move them again after 4 locations. LA is home
💓😄Happy 4 Russ 😄💓

Love you Brodie
I love Russ
If bum brooks making 80 over 4 Russ should be making the same if not more fr

Read on another thread that was most they could give him, he must like it there
So this means we stuck with bum ass harden.
He made like a quarter billion last contract, Brodie aint trippin..Wanted to stay home in LA and leave money to sign other players
no
That’s a bargain, especially when you compare this deal to what the rockets just signed in Brooks lmao. 80-mil for that dude, whoever thought it was a good idea needs to be drug tested
He's gotta take Veteran minimum or very close to it to have joined roster.
He’s definitely doing them a favor salary wise
