To say this crap has been blown out of proportion is the understatement of the century. He's right, and it's about time he said something. Just surprised so many people have turned on him and/or seem like they are taking it personal.
Russ did start all this by making his feelings public.
So whether you agree with him or not is moot, no one would be talking about this if Russell kept his grievances in house.
No talk of trades, no Colin Cowherd blaming Pete, no "how many first round picks would it take." None of it.
Actually it still would have been talked about, it would have gotten out, just like some who something gets out every year about trading Wilson.
Russell's arguably the most polished measured athlete there is, everything he does is planned out and orchestrated.
So no, it wouldn't have just got out whether he went public or not.
You guys are making this into me criticizing Russell, and while I don't agree with him going public that's not the point.
The point is this thread and others didn't exist until HE initiated these conversations.
Which is fine, makes for great forum and sports talk until the draft. But don't kid yourselves, Russell brought all of this on himself, which again was calculated. He wants the "you better do what I say or I'm gone next year" conversations and information out there.
Schneider & Pete are deep in it too! All 3 guys are too smart! Bottom line all 3 are working together to try to create a “win win” situation for each other, they are testing the market, it’s business nothing wrong with it! The problem is the fans are not cool with RW leaving Seattle, so they have to orchestrate the drama!!
