In a refreshing change to the stories about players claiming they aren't getting the respect they deserve when their teams are talking about trading them, Bryon Russell of the Utah Jazz states his case in the Deseret News today.  Russell has been the subject of talk about being traded to numerous places and yet he says,"If you look at it, my name is going to come up in everything, because I have value. It's not a bad thing. As long as I'm the topic of a trade, and as long as I'm the focus of it, I have value."  What a concept -- similar to a normal person who would be flattered if a headhunter came calling instead of yammering like so many players do that they've been betrayed.  Russell, as much as any player in the NBA, has been loyal to the Jazz for all of his eight years and has no desire to be traded.  But the Jazz have lined up various players that will be competing for some of Russell's time -- John Starks, DeShawn Stevenson, Donyell Marshall and the young Russian, Andrei Kirilenko, who has been impressive this summer.  If Russell doesn't sign an extension, expect him to be the focus of trade talks all year.  Russell isn't whining though: "I will come out and play basketball like Bryon Russell knows how. If I don't sign an extension," Russell added, "I'll let my numbers talk for themselves."
