Lakers News: LA Considering Re-Signing D'Angelo Russell If He Opts Out of Current Contract?
The reason will shock you.
In this story:
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are poised to triple down on starting point guard D'Angelo Russell this summer if he winds up opting out of his $18.7 million deal for the 2024-25 season.
A source informs Anthony Irwin of Lakers Daily that Los Angeles management will encourage him to agree to a new one-season contract, set to pay him more than his player option, should he opt out. Ostensibly, it's to make him more tradable midseason, but we've heard that song and dance before. L.A. was hoping to make him an appealing trade chip at this past season's deadline, but failed to drum up much interest, in part because of his flexibility this summer. Why Los Angeles expects a better result this year is beyond us.
When the calendar year rolled over to 2024, Russell's game really started to improve. He finished the season with averages of 18 points on .456/.415/.792 shooting splits, 6.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks a night, across 76 contests (69 starts). He cratered in the playoffs once again, averaging 14.2 points on .384/.318/.500 shooting splits, 4.2 dimes, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals per bout.
Irwin reports that Los Angeles is "open" to beginning the season with Russell and shooting guard Austin Reaves as its starting backcourt, and would hope to move off Russell midseason. Given that this did not happen last year, it's stunning to think the Lakers expect a different result in 2024-25. If Russell does opt out, L.A. should thank its lucky stars and pivot to another option at the point.

Lebron is the problem

[@Jasety631]

Get rid of Reaves .. n he’s not signing back with LA

[@TheLockerRoomla]

Hope not

[@ismaaeelm9357]

2:09 He had hard time pronouncing "strategic", and the Westbrook soundbite came at the perfect time. 😂😂😂😂😂 Good one!

[@kingangel3252]

😂😂😂 PERFECT timing

[@savingsoul]

If Reeves and Dlo come back for a 3rd try, The Lakers Management is a complete clown show

[@TheLockerRoomla]

exactly bro this is a circus at this point

[@GRAVE1985]

Lebum needs to go,he is responsible for everything,he is the one getting teammates traded and coaches fired then blames the coach and management for not having good players with him,it’s a joke

[@alisyed7659]

Austin Reeves is the Lakers Franchise Player.

😂😂😂

[@abrahamvillanueva2048]

I rather have Dlo run the point any game over lejuice he actually running plays wtf you talking about now reeves is trash? And can't guard but lejuice can?

[@brianjackson8668]

Keeping that back court intact will be a problem. That is the major problem with the organization

[@craigosterberg5045]

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting same result.

[@cmartinez4727]

Didn’t u once say Westbrook was a good pickup for the lakers?😂 Let me give you the down low, The Lakers want to sign russell so they can trade him before the season starts. as for Austin, he did a pretty good job defending Murray other than the buzzer beaters which was totally ham’s fault of not telling his guys to get the ball off Murray’s hands via double team.

@@GRAVE1985 so blame him for complaining about not getting calls that he should get?? Literally every star does that. And the not playing defense part is a lie, he was one of the team’s best defenders. Y’all just don’t like him so y’all run with any negative narrative you can find lol, blaming the guy who literally carried the team to the playoffs shows yall really don’t know basketball.

The Lakers put their faith in a 39-40 year old that has not won much in 6 years stats only. Lebron plays his position make it make sense sense.

[@rasliburd2179]

My grandmother used to tell me don't cry for who going cry for who coming.

[@monquencegoodwin5055]

This would work if we get a true Center. Then that gives us AD, LeBron, Reaves, Russell and a good Example would be Clint Capella out of Atlanta or Markannen out of Utah. With a weak defensive backcourt, protecting both sides of the rim would help us. But Donovan Mitchell is the backcourt player I want

[@kingalshosa3543]

U not going win with that bum LBJ reeves don't get paid 30 million a season

[@showtimej2582]

That was very stratwegic of you to play this video Regg 🤣🤣

[@Stephen32-zs7jm]

Not going after Kyrie with guns blazing was on bembo duo Jeanie and Rob. I want Dlo gone also..I only excepted him last yr because Westbrook was so bad.Bron was at a Cavs game..I would gladly become a Cavs or Heat fan again at this point.

[@bulagazibaggy1511]

Love Reeves but you have a point, he should just come of the bench

[@KeeshanCook-qm8mj]

Now it's D Lo fault 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@yaddameen2102]

Dwight Howard is the key! Remember how sloppy lebron was before Dwight and rondo arrived

Appreciate you!

[@fuzzybwill75]

I think if Atlanta trade Trae they may keep D-Murray. Trade Rui Hachimura & Reaves to Chicago for Ayo, Craig and Caruso, hope D-Lo walk but trade him either way then sign Hartenstein ( mad energy to start at center ) Jrue Holiday ( veteran defensive PG who csn score ) and Miles Bridge ( LeBron replacement if he leave, and/or retire ).
