In this episode, we cover topics about the Mavericks following their signing of point guard D’Angelo Russell to a 2-year, $11.7 million deal on the first day of free agency.
We discuss what Russell brings the Mavs, both positive and negative. We give our expectations for him and the team, and talk about what might happen once Kyrie Irving returns later in the season. We also discuss how Cooper Flagg and Naji Marshall may be relied upon for playmaking.
We then transition to previewing how the Mavericks may look on defense with their new big lineup. We agree that the Mavs may look good defensively on paper, but their lack of foot speed may prove to be a limitation. Which bench wings will be relied upon the most? That is still an unanswered question about the team.
Finally, we conclude talk about the recent report from
that Jason Kidd will be getting another contract extension from the Mavs. We also theorize what a hypothetical offer for LeBron James would look like, if he finally asks out of Los Angeles for the final year or two for his career.
