MAVS NEWS:

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.

Not to mention its really hard to find a quality PG that can play defense for tax MLE.
