Blazers, Wizards not interested in D’Angelo Russell

August 12, 2024 by Hoops Hype

Finally, the last factor that’s affected each set of negotiations the Lakers have had is D’Angelo Russell’s reputation around the league. Portland has no interest in Russell, according to sources close to that situation. League sources also say Washington is wary of pairing Russell with fellow space cadet Jordan Poole. Toronto and Brooklyn are more open to acquiring the nine-year veteran, but more for his expiring contract than for what he’d do on the court.

More on this storyline

Jovan Buha: The one guy I could see his value increasing is D’Angelo Russell. If he has a start to the season similar to the end of his 2023-24 regular season and then he’ll also be an expiring contract with 30 or so games left around the trade deadline, that’s the one guy whose value should increase. -via YouTube / August 10, 2024
Sources say in the days leading up to Russell’s decision to opt into his contract this season, Los Angeles starting quietly canvassing the league for deals. When he finally did exercise his player option, Pelinka started really working to find him a new home, to no avail. The crux of the issue: L.A. needs Russell a lot more than teams around the league do. He’s their starting point guard. He played legitimately well last regular season, and if moved, his production would need to be replaced. -via Lakers Daily / August 10, 2024
D’Angelo Russell: I thought he was going to Miami. Devin Booker: That’s where I was hoping… Miami was my best workout, and then I remember, I think Pat Riley came into he did an interview and he’s like ‘we’re looking for a player like Klay Thompson, we need to up our shooting.’ And I just shot 40 in college… I’m like ‘oh yeah’, I’m looking at spots right down there by the arena… Draft is crazy, your life changes like that, you have no control over it really. -via YouTube / August 4, 2024
