Two players that were supposed to play key roles in Dallas have turned into two of their worst assets.
Over two months into the regular season, the standout players and the rotation outcasts are clear in Dallas. Barring any injuries or major trades before now and the NBA's trade deadline, two of the Dallas Mavericks are already standing out as players the team will definitely struggle to trade away: Caleb Martin and D'Angelo Russell.
In the case of Martin, the Mavericks not only traded away Quentin Grimes to bring him in, who has been outstanding in his limited time with the Philadelphia 76ers, but they also traded a valuable early second-round draft pick, and Martin has done little to prove his worth on the court.
