Russell isn't expiring, is he? 

This should be fairly welcome news for folks hoping Kyrie signs here long term, I'd think. No chance at cap space in LA now, right? 

Hell, if the plan (or fallback plan) is to move Irving to LAL via sign and trade, I'd say Russell is for sure in that package now. There's a small chance, I suppose, that they targeted him because they think Dallas might like him.

Russell is expiring.

But Rui has eaten their cap-space to the point the most they can get even with this trade is around 25 mil.
