In the game, the 28-year-old went 0-for-7 from the field, including 0-for-6 from beyond the arc. Additionally, Russell recorded three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Russell spoke about wanting to <a href=\"https:\/\/hoopshype.com\/rumor\/dangelo-russell-wants-to-remain-with-lakers-in-free-agency\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remain with the Lakers<\/a> past this season.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019d love to be here and continue to give it a run and be where my feet are now,\u201d Russell told HoopsHype. \u201cObviously, I\u2019ve been on the other side of it, and I\u2019ve been through the roller coaster of free agency and having to sit back and wait. I\u2019m looking forward to not having to worry about that. I\u2019ve been blessed enough to put myself in this position with my play. I\u2019m definitely planning on taking advantage of that. When that time comes, I feel that everything will play out how it\u2019s supposed to play out.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Los Angeles Lakers Guard&#8217;s 2024-25 Team Odds Revealed<\/h2>\n<h3>A D&#8217;Angelo Russell-Trae Young Swap Could Make Sense<\/h3>\n<p>For much of the season, expectations were that the Hawks would move from either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/y\/youngtr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-26_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trae Young<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/murrade01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-26_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dejounte Murray<\/a>. Currently, it appears likely that it will be Young who is on the move. Furthermore, the Lakers are a team that has recently been linked to Young. The Athletic&#8217;s Jovan Buha said Young is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/04\/02\/multiple-analysts-link-los-angeles-lakers-to-former-all-nba-guard-trae-young\/\" target=\"_self\">probably the most realistic<\/a>&#8221; star the Lakers can acquire to team with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/j\/jamesle01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-26_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LeBron James<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/davisan02.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-26_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Davis<\/a>. Buha also mentioned that acquiring Young could affect Russell&#8217;s &#8220;situation&#8221; with the Lakers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYes, they are,\u201d Buha said when asked if the Lakers are going to chase a third star. \u201cAnd I can confirm that from multiple sources. They are going third-star hunting this offseason. And we\u2019ll see how that affects the D-Lo (D\u2019Angelo Russell) situation. We\u2019ll see how \u2014 you probably have to give up Austin [Reaves] in almost any\u2026third-star trade. \u2026 Now, who\u2019s available? The one name I continually hear is Trae Young. He\u2019s been to Laker playoff games before. He\u2019s a Klutch Sports client. That\u2019s probably the most realistic one right now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A sign-and-trade that allows the Lakers and Hawks to swap guards could be in play this offseason.<\/p>\n<h3>What D&#8217;Angelo Russell Brings to the Court<\/h3>\n<p>Russell enjoyed the best shooting season of his career this season. The Ohio State alum shot a career-high 41.5% from the three-point line and averaged 18 points per game. Additionally, Russell has consistently shown he can create his own shot. However, he is not much of a defender and can be streaky at times. Still, he is a solid secondary option and is only just 28 years old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier reports have indicated that Los Angeles Lakers guard D&#8217;Angelo Russell will likely decline his $18.7 million player option and become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
