Probably can defend and rebound a few stints a game.

He doesn't do anything at an NBA level anymore. He's fucking 39 and played 200 mins last season. 

Maybe he's a good locker room guy?

Russ will probably be fine against the middling and tanking teams. Maybe. 

Not really Denver's big picture, yeah? Agree though that that is Russ's use case for the past few years: eat up meaningless minutes in February, hopefully find/develop better options for May.

For playoffs, Gordon is the backup 5. Their position on the Russ signing is more juice in the second unit and to lessen Murray’s burden there. Also Jokic wanted the signing and it’s not some crazy contract. If Russ is playing crunch time in the spring the Nuggets are fucked. They may be fucked anyway. 
 

Only real piece to move is MPJ and at this point, he is what he is and won’t get much return even if they can find a trade partner. 
 

That means Braun, Watson, and Strawther all have to take a big step forward this year. Braun looks to be on the proper trajectory. Watson is a total wildcard. Strawther hasn’t played nearly enough minutes to even give a preliminary eval.

Damn he’s 39? Time flies. Deandre Jordan still cashed a check and he played about 20 min last year so

We all know Thibs will trade for him at the deadline, and he’ll be playing 30 minutes a night for the knicks and have no business being in the game.
