D'Angelo Russell Signs Two-Year $13M Deal With Dallas Mavericks
D'Angelo Russell has agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks, marking a significant pay cut for the former All-Star guard. The deal positions Russell as the projected starting point guard, especially with Kyrie Irving likely to miss the entire 2025-2026 season due to an ACL injury. Russell's experience, including multiple 20-point seasons and an All-Star appearance in 2019, contrasts with his modest salary, which is comparable to rookie-level contracts. The Mavericks will utilize their midlevel exception to sign Russell, who may also shift to a secondary ball-handler role when Irving returns. Russell's decision seems influenced by the opportunity for a key role on a promising Mavericks roster featuring Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, and top draft pick Cooper Flagg, as well as the financial benefit of Texas's lack of state income tax. The agreement was facilitated by Mavericks officials and Russell's representation, including agents Austin Brown and Aaron Mintz.
