Los Angeles Lakers on the market: could D’Angelo Russell leave?

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most active teams on the NBA market, and while they are primarily looking for a long man to bolster their frontcourt presence, they could also be making some moves on the perimeter. According to a report by Forbes’ Evan Sidery via a post on his X account, the management is said to be starting to hold exploratory talks with other franchises, with D’Angelo Russell and Jalen Hood-Schifino being suggested. In the past few days, the Lakers have also made contact with the likes of Valanciunas, Robert Williams III and Dorian Finney-Smith. As a result, the Lakers will be a franchise to watch between now and the trade deadline.
