The Lakers star D’Angelo Russell has been giving his best on the court, especially after returning from injury earlier in the season. However, the team is still struggling despite his efforts, and he might be traded to bring a more fitting talent.
Meanwhile, Russell was recently praised by his team’s ace LeBron James in a post-game interview. Bron expressed his views on D’Lo’s playstyle and praised his teammate who has been a regular on the team.
LeBron James lauds D’Angelo Russell
LeBron James recently praised his teammate D’Angelo Russell in a post-game interview. The future Hall of Famer was asked about his opinion on his teammate D’Lo after he delivered a great performance against the Blazers on Sunday, and Bron responded gladly.
He said, “With his skillset it is obvious. You know his ball handling is very shifty, and nonchalant but he is always tryna keep the guys go off-balance with his game… That move and transition were pretty damn good… that was dope.”
The Lakers have not been in the greatest condition in the league right now, especially after suffering a loss at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets on Friday which stomped on their hopes of getting on a winning streak.
The Lakers made a good comeback in the game against the Blazers as every player on the squad has been giving their best but the results sometimes don’t please the efforts. Afterwards, Lakers big man Anthony Davis recently expressed his view on what is going wrong in the team.
D’Angelo Russell trade rumors
The NBA trade rumors are also going wild as the trade deadline approaches. Multiple rumors have been circulating, and the names of many players have come up. Among those names is Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell, who is speculated to be traded to bring in more suitable talent to lift the Lakers out of their current condition.
There are rumors suggesting that D’Angelo Russell could be traded to the Atlanta Hawks, accompanied by some 2029 first-round draft picks and additional draft compensations, in exchange for acquiring Dejounte Murray.
While there has been no official confirmation, speculation also hints at the possibility of another Lakers player being part of the trade offer. However, executing this trade could be challenging for the Purple and Gold, as reports indicate that the Milwaukee Bucks are also interested in the 27-year-old talent from the Hawks.
