At first that doesn't make sense, but when you think about it, Russ can be that secondary creator we've wanted next to Luka that can create off the dribble. Beal/KP/Maxi all space the floor so you can't pack the paint and this will finally make Luka play some off ball.
Luka/Beal can come off at 7 mins, and you can have a 2 man game with KP/Russ. Then Luka Beal, etc.
It think that'd actually work really really well. I'm not even kidding. Bryant tore his ACL so he'd be a deadweight throw in. I'd trade all our firsts for Beal alone so I wouldn't mind going all in with this deal.
The only hangup would be WB attitude and how he'd like playing 2nd fiddle next to Luka. But the Mavs would create a super big 2 with Luka/Beal alone. Maybe he'd put his attitude aside and would want to win a ring.
Had no clue Bryant tore his ACL. I like his game but haven’t been really plugged in to as much NBA as usual.
I’m not in the trade KP camp (yet) but I am in the find someone that can fill his role and maybe make him expendable one day...it’s why I was all in on Christian Wood.
I just don’t trust KP’s health or his head
