He sure doesn't sound like he wants to be dealt elsewhere.
Los Angeles Lakers starting point guard D'Angelo Russell has been a major name to watch on the trade market this summer.
But it sure sounds like he's relished his time logged alongside 20-time All-NBA combo forward LeBron James, to the point where he may not want to be flipped elsewhere. In appearing on a new episode of Tidal League's "Run Your Race" podcast alongside hosts Theo Pinson and AJ Richardson, the 6-foot-3 Ohio State University alum broke down their instant on-court connection.
“So coming here last year when we came we clicked right away. I was like, ‘Dang, this is not what I expected.’ We was playing at a high level. Hot potato the ball, backdoor, no-look lob. That’s basketball. We were on the same page and we had no time to get there. We just did it. And I was like, ‘Damn.
“Now looking back on it, I’m like, ‘Dang, bro.’ I was really hooping at a high level with this dude that dominates the game," Russell said. "If he came down and made a play every time people would be OK with that. And some people would probably be like, ‘Bro, he gotta pass the ball.’ It’s like, majority of people going to be like OK, they want to see that. So for a guy to be in that in the mix of it next to it, I understand y’all want to see him shoot that joint every time.
