They signed Spancer D on two years $22M contract, that's less money than Gordon will make this year alone.
His third year is pretty much free pass for him to get payed more later ( $13M player's option).
Russell will get his max-close to max with Nets, they showed many times they work well as duo, they are team without PF-C and they will have to look at FA to solve that problem more than think about Russell deal, that's no brainer for them
Sean Marks on Woj Podcast re DLo: “one thing I learned from my days in San Antonio is there’s a need for tough love conversations. As it pertains to D’Angelo, we said, ‘we’re going to put our arms around ya. We’re going to give you love on and off the court’” and he’s bought in.
Kenny Athinson , Nets coach, who was brought with Marks is full of praise for Russell all the time.
if you are familiar with them than you would know what they promised : patience , slow but sure rebuild and repairment of situation that Billy King left . They did nothing shorter than amazing job to this point. Zero reasons to belive they will just let their "highest pcik" (not drafted by them but oh well ) walk just because they payed his backup $10M a year ( for two years ).
