Incredibly Lame Group of Teams Plan to Send Offer Sheets to D'Angelo Russell
By Parker White
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell picked the perfect time to have a career season and earn his first All-Star Game appearance, as he's set for restricted free agency this summer.
Russell should garner a lot of attention, and according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, teams such as the Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers have expressed the most interest, thus far.
There's a good chance the Nets match any offer Russell receives, but they've also been connected to Kyrie Irving in free agency, which could impact their ability to bring Russell back, especially if these teams offer an exorbitant amount of money.
If you're Russell, you have to take into account these are teams that aren't sniffing the playoffs outside of Utah and Indiana, and neither one of them are a player away from truly contending.
Russell can only hope the Nets, who are on the rise in the East, intend on matching any offer sheet these teams throw his way.
