Live broadcast on February 25 news Warrior coach Cole talked about the operation of Russell in the Lakers’ trading in an interview this week. Cole thought Russell was really suitable for the Lakers.
“Very suitable, because Russell can really shoot and pass, and other players can also help him share the defense, which will also give him some chances of no ball.” Cole said, “James will hold the ball more, so Russell can become a fixed-point pitcher or participate in the demolition. All these have been proved to be very suitable for him. He played very well for the Lakers.”
Russell had played for Warriors for half a season before and worked with Cole.
