Din for D'Angelo Russell...

Russell definitely has a higher pedigree and ceiling, but this year they're production is almost identical.  Their production off the ball is almost identical.    Looking at that and the fact that Din has been here a year and has fit into his role, you only do this deal if you think that playing with Luka and playing off the ball will restore him to a 23pts player.

Russell can also walk in the summer. Or Mavs can have the honor to overpay him due to the bird rights trap they are in. Not really a fan
