The Dallas Mavericks are the favorites to sign D’Angelo Russell this offseason, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line.
The Mavs can offer Russell the taxplayer midlevel exception worth $5.7 million in the first year.
Chris Paul could also be a target for the Mavs, though Paul reportedly wants to play closer to his Los Angeles home.
The Mavs also are interested in re-signing Dante Exum, though they would no longer have the taxpayer midlevel exception if they use it on Russell or another point guard. The Mavs roster would also then be full with 15 players on contract.
Exum is looking to sign with an NBA team next season rather than return to Europe.
