Overview

  • Dallas plans a two-year, $12 million offer to free agent D’Angelo Russell when NBA free agency opens.
  • The team intends to use its $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception to help finance Russell’s potential signing.
  • Kyrie Irving tore his ACL in March and is expected to miss most of the 2025–26 season while rehabbing.
  • Despite using the No. 1 pick on rookie Cooper Flagg, Dallas still lacks an established floor general.
  • Russell averaged 12.9 points and 5.6 assists over 29 games for Brooklyn and has said he values finding a familiar setting.
