Los Angeles Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell has seemingly conveyed his thoughts on the trade rumors circulating around him and the team through his latest social media engagement. Russell’s presence adds an intriguing dynamic to the Lakers’ roster, boasting averages of 16.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game.
He maintains an impressive shooting record, hitting 48.1 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from beyond the arc this season.
Despite Russell’s noteworthy contributions, trade rumors persist, with him being mentioned as a potential piece in a deal for Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. As the trade deadline approaches, the Lakers are actively exploring options in the market.
Russell, acquired by the Lakers last season in a three-team deal, played a pivotal role in helping the team secure a playoff spot and the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. While his scoring averages may not be as high this season, Russell’s efficiency on the court is vital for the Lakers, especially in complementing the talents of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Judging by his recent social media activity, it appears that Russell is inclined to remain with the Lakers through the approaching trade deadline.
