The Dallas Mavericks clearly made a mistake in the offseason when they signed the veteran point guard D'Angelo Russell, and the Mavs are making it pretty clear that he's not going to be a part of their long-term plans. The Mavs did need an extra point guard with Kyrie Irving sidelined from his torn ACL injury, but Russell has been disappointing for the most part this season.
This is exactly what Mavs fans expected, though. After two stints with the Los Angeles Lakers, we knew there could be stretches of boom potential, but most of that has been a bust in a Dallas uniform.
