D’Angelo Russell’s time with the Dallas Mavericks had a lot of ups and downs. He started some games, then came off the bench, and was relegated to a cheerleader. It was definitely a rollercoaster ride for the former one-time all-star.
Now, with the Mavs trying to build a winning culture around Cooper Flagg, Russell was traded alongside Anthony Davis, plus a couple of Mavs rotation guys, to the Washington Wizards at the trade deadline. No more AD-Kyrie-Flagg future for Dallas. They officially lost the Luka-AD trade more than a year ago.
But what about Russell? What would the 29-year-old bring to the Wizards? Apparently, he won’t even report to his new team and may seek other opportunities elsewhere either this season or the next.
