From a pure basketball standpoint, this is an obvious move, though still a reassuring one. OKC lacked a legitimate backup point guard for years following the Reggie Jackson trade, relying on Kevin Durant to run the offense when Russ sat in 2015-16, then turning to Semaj Christon in 2016-17 (a move that went so well that Christon is already out of the league).
