As a Chicago-born data storyteller with a jazz-infused mind, I’ve watched Russell’s decline like a broken record. His efficiency collapsed—not from age, but from system failure. Stats don’t lie: 36.7% FG, 29.7% 3P, 50.8% TS%. He’s not old; he’s optimized for chaos. Milwaukee doesn’t need another false savior. This isn’t a move—it’s a mirror reflecting how algorithms outperform human intuition in the NBA’s cold calculus.
