37 million becomes 11.6 million! Russell is reduced to join! Another top team in the West
9:38am, 10 July 2025【Basketball】
The Mavericks gathered a five-star lineup?
Irving recovers from injury Russell makes up for the position. His strength on paper is really frightening!

signed Russell in July only cost 11.6 million, which was directly cut in half compared to the Lakers' salary. With No. 1 pick Flag and Irving, who stayed in the team with a salary cut, the Mavericks suddenly formed a three-league lineup.
But if you look closely, you will find it all hidden dangers.

Irving's ligament tear will be rested until at least next year. Russell's shooting percentage at the Nets fell below the bottom of his career last season, and his 29% three-pointer was simply eye-catching.
The new top pick Flag is only 18 years old. The outstanding NCAA data does not mean that he can withstand the NBA strength.
The combination of "Irving + Clay + Dark Eyebrow" bragged by the US media is even more outrageous - Clay did not officially announce his joining, and even marginal people like Najib Marshall were stuffed into the Hupu lineup.

Salary operations are indeed showing.
Irving gave up the 43 million player option and signed 119 million for three years, which is equivalent to a salary cut and a long-term contract.
Russell earned 5.7 million yuan in annual salary with a mini middle class special case, and the second year was that the player options were obviously betting on his own rebound.

But look at the old Nets' curse: from Deron to Dinwiddie in the past decade, all of their states have declined after turning to the Mavericks.
The most realistic question is who will play at the beginning of the season?

Irving's injury recovery phase allowed Russell, who had crashed his shooting percentage, to partner with rookie Flag, and this backcourt combination defense would be stabbed into a sieve.
The so-called championship lineup must at least survive the return of Irving in February next year.
What's the use of paper luxury?

It has only been half a year since the Lakers' Big Three failed last season.
The Mavericks' set is more crisp, with three glass-attributed stars leading a rookie No. 1 pick, and Exam is also sitting on the bench with a torn cruciate ligament.
fans are blowing too early now.
