According to Fred Roggin of NBC Los Angeles, the Lakers have a set meeting planned with D’Angelo Russell. This is especially intriguing considering Russell’s former history with the club. He was traded away as a sweetener in a salary dump to the Brooklyn Nets.
However, Magic Johnson was the one who criticized Russell on his way out and Magic recently stepped down as team president. That leaves open the possibility of a reunion in Los Angeles. In fact, it would make perfect sense.
Russell is exactly the type of player who can fit in with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
