Mavs Free Agency Central

Why would the Mavericks choose D’Angelo Russell over a legend like Chris Paul?” That’s the question that kicks off a fiery 5pm Money Hour on The Ben and Skin Show, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive deep into the Mavericks’ latest offseason moves—and they don’t hold back.In this episode, the crew breaks down the Mavericks’ expected signing of D’Angelo Russell to a 2-year, $12 million deal. Is it a smart move or a desperate patch until Kyrie returns? Skin offers sharp insight into Russell’s value, noting, “He’s making a third of what he made last year. That tells you what the market thinks of him.”The conversation takes a turn into the philosophical as they ponder Chris Paul’s legacy and why he might prefer hanging with his kids in L.A. over chasing a ring in Dallas. “He’s gonna go down with Barkley and Stockton—greats who never got a ring,” Skin reflects.
