D’Angelo Russell is joining the Dallas Mavericks. The 29-year-old guard agreed on a two-year, $13 million deal with Dallas. With Kyrie Irving recovering from a torn ACL, Russell fills a key need in the backcourt.

The Dallas Mavericks look to be a big team next season. They already had a large frontcourt with Anthony Davis at power forward and the rotating center combo of Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford, but that was only emphasized when they won the Draft Lottery and selected Cooper Flagg, the consensus top player in the class.

The Dallas Mavericks have re-signed Kyrie Irving to a three-year, $119 million contract, but he is expected to miss much of the upcoming season due to a torn ACL.
