The Mavericks are weighing the middle class special case candidates, and Russell may be the best target for them?

According to ESPN reporter Marc Stein, the new contract signed by Kyrie Irving has created space for the team, which also allows them to use 5.7 million middle-class special cases to strengthen. According to additional information from ESPN authoritative journalist Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks' potential middle-class signing targets this summer include Dennis Schroder, D 'Angelo Russell, Chris Paul and Malcolm Brodgon.

Dallas Mavericks self-media reporter Kevin Gray Jr. also talked about the most suitable middle-class contract candidate in his mind. He said: In my opinion, for the Mavericks, the most suitable middle-class special signing player is Tangiero Russell. He played with Anthony Davis, Max Christie and Jared Dudley, so they were familiar with each other, and he was only 29 years old and at the peak of his career. When he is focused, he can play a huge role in both organization and scoring in the point guard position.

Middle of this season, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets completed a deal, and Russell was also sent to the Nets by the team. After joining the Nets, Russell made a total of 29 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 24.7 minutes per game, averaging 12.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 36.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.6%. Russell's performance after joining the team can be said to be very disappointing. He has not shown any competitiveness at all. His scoring ability and offensive efficiency are very disappointing. His performance on the defensive end is also unsatisfactory. His effect on the court can be said to be a mess.

is also because the performance cannot meet everyone's expectations at all, and Russell's market is also constantly declining. It is also because of this that there is a statement that he can only get a mini middle class special case. There is no doubt that if Russell's value really drops to this level, he will also attract the attention of many playoff-level teams. For the Mavericks, considering that Irving will miss the first half of next season, they do need an experienced starting point guard to help the team stabilize the situation, Russell is definitely an ideal candidate. But we don’t know, will Russell really consider joining the Mavericks at this price?
