Mentioned him a few times making a lot of sense here. It's a good fit regardless of what people might think of the player/person.

People can trash him all day long, and he'd still be a big talent upgrade here.

I just like realistic ideas, and he reeks of someone we could realistically get.

Yeah he totally looks like he's available.

And everyone thinks he could be cheap. Wolves may look for 2-3 FRPs but I bet he could be had for THJ, Powell's expiring, and one protected FRP. Maybe even a SRP.

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.

And that scares me. Wood is already that laid-back offensive guy who shoots but doesn't have the passion to drive us into the playoffs. We need to bastards with a competitive edge, because if it's only Luka, he may get two techs and have an aneurism by game 2 of the playoffs.

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.
