D’Angelo Russell is a Los Angeles Laker turned Brooklyn Net...again. Six and a half years after trading Brook Lopez among other assets for Russell and Timofey Mozgov, the Nets brought DLo back again, with three second-rounders beside him, shipping out Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton in the process.
Now a 10-year veteran, he’s undoubtedly a journeyman point guard, even if he’s just been retracing steps.
As a result, Russell will partake in his second “revenge” game vs the Lakers tonight. Prior to the affair, Russell spoke this afternoon on his second stint in purple and gold, expressing some eagerness to face his old team.
