Would you rather have Bradley Beal or D'Angelo Russell? Both essentially signed for the same deal.
Give me Russell. He's 3 years younger than Beal. He's more of a PG. He has chemistry playing with Klay, AD and Christie. I think he's a much better fit for Dallas than Beal.
Yes, agreed.
And, while it isn't like Russell has no baggage, he certainly comes with less baggage.
I think. both players will probably talk about how it's a "bet on myself" year, because both are taking pay cuts and both probably see the ends of their careers potentially coming at them fairly quickly. But, it's not nearly the same, because Beal is still getting all of that gargantuan contract. Russell really is taking a major pay cut. I think he'll be very motivated to play well.
