The Dallas Mavericks are poised to sign D’Angelo Russell to a two-year, $12 million contract, potentially filling their final roster spot. Despite this, the team remains interested in re-signing Dante Exum and may consider trading Olivier-Maxence Prosper to make room.

In a significant roster move, the Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets, acquiring forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton in return. The deal also involves the Lakers sending Maxwell Lewis and three second-round draft picks to Brooklyn, signaling strategic shifts for both teams.
