Shams revealed that Russell signed the Mavericks for 13 million in two years.

Salary expert Marks said the Mavericks used the Mini Middle Class Special ($5.7 million) to sign Russell, who was the player option for the second year.

Basketball commentator Yuan Fang posted a message talking about Russell, the content is as follows:

There should be Lakers fans who will remember that I said at that time that Russell is worth at most a middle-class contract. Whoever signs him with 20 million will be the end. Later, the Lakers took out 18 million... Russell at this price is completely useless, and it is a pity to give up. Finally, he went to the Nets to complete the contract in a daze.

Dallas won Russell at this node, with 13 million in two years. Russell's level has not changed much, but the sharp drop in price is closer to its real value. Moreover, Russell's mentality and self-positioning have also been adjusted accordingly, which is highly consistent with Dallas's team-building ideas and needs to wait for Irving to return around Dallas's core Brows and Flagage, which is very pleasant.

Before and after seeing Doncic off, Dallas's operations and luck were actually quite good.
