That's true, lol. 

I never for a second thought they were contenders, but I sure expected more from Russell than what they got. A lot more. Apparently he was so bad they didn't even attempt to get much from him. That was the most puzzling thing about the first month of last season.

That's exactly what I thought too - I went into it thinking it was a win-win, that DLo would fill in admirably for a season and get a better, longer contract from another team based on his play here, and the Mavs would have a stop gap, serviceable point guard while Kyrie rehabbed. Fully expected he would be the no questions asked starting PG while here.
