Live Bar, May 26, according to Yahoo’s famous account Jake Fischer, sources revealed that Russell had sought a four-year renewal contract worth more than $0.1 billion when he was in Timberwolves, however, after an unstable playoff, it is hard to imagine that there will be a team offering such a price.
The Lakers may wisely explore Russell’s deal and bring back a player who is more suitable for rosters, but some sources say Russell is also considered an active presence of the team, even if he stayed on the bench longer and longer, he would still get up and celebrate when his teammates scored.
Fischer said that a two-year contract worth about $40 million may be closer to Russell’s actual value and also keep the Lakers flexible.
