The Dallas Mavericks' marquee free agency move of signing D'Angelo Russell has not worked out according to plan, and his role in Jason Kidd's rotation is slowly fading away a month and a half into the season.

There is still plenty of time for Russell to climb Kidd's depth chart and get some more minutes, but the fact that he is in trade rumors combined with his below-average play is not the best look.
