Days before the Dallas Mavericks signed D'Angelo Russell to a two-year deal, all signs were already pointing to him coming to Dallas. He was their top choice, and the Mavs were his top choice, making this signing a no-brainer. The writing was on the wall for Russell to join former teammates Max Christie and Anthony Davis on the Mavericks, and Nico Harrison and company didn't waste much time getting this deal agreed upon.
Even though some Mavericks fans have been skeptical of the team signing Russell and trusting him to carry a heavy offensive load, he is going to be an incredible fit, and Dallas has made their thoughts about him clear.
