MAVS NEWS:

[Winter]

The Mavs need offense. We keep joking about defense wins championships but I'm more worried about the offensive production while Kyrie is out. 
In a ~30 mpg starter role, Russell has proven to be an 18 ppg / 7 ast guy before, while shooting 40+% from 3 on good volume. 
Of course, he could be a total bust, but worth $5M for the upside.

I agree with the offensive need, but I just think Russell is unreliable and unpredictable. I probably would take a chance on him though for a season because I think there are appropriate ways to limit his minutes when not playing well. Maybe Kidd can work a few miracles on his defense.
