But the real reason is why teams don't want him and why Ryen Russillo thinks that he is the "worst player in the league that gets significant minutes".
That sounds like exactly the type of trade Cuban would drool over. As a crypto-bro he thinks he can outthink the rest of the league and getting Russell cheap would be Cuban being big-brain.

Bingo. Plus, Bojan and OG are gonna cost too much. I'm betting Bojan's starting price is an unprotected first and two seconds. Rumored Knicks are offering 3 firsts for OG, but I'm betting 2 is the starting price.
Nobody is crazy about getting Russell, obviously, but his game is actually what we need oddly. We need a guy that can score, on his own, off the dribble, without caring who he gets involved.
I'd look hard at getting Trent Jr first, but Russell just reeks of a Cuban move.
I've seen Seth Curry mentioned too. Not the biggest fan like some, but he can get his own shot off without needing to be spoon fed.
