D’Angelo Russell is the future – After years of trade rumors the Nets finally traded Brook Lopez. In the deal they got back D’Angelo Russell and it appears that he will be the future of the franchise. The former number 2 overall pick has not yet shown that he’s going to be the star he is supposed to develop into but the Nets are clearly hoping that he can reach that potential in time.

Mavs Signing: Maxi Kleber Profile
When I started watching film on Kleber my first thought was that I expected him to push Dwight Powell.

Dallas Mavericks Free Agency Outlook
Last year it was refreshing to see the Front Office embrace a youth movement and I was looking forward to a pretty chill off-season this year.
