LA Lakers shipping D’Angelo Russell to Brooklyn Nets in four-player trade Guard D’Angelo Russell is on the move again, with ESPN reporting Sunday that the Brooklyn Nets will acquire him in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers selected Russell, now 28, with the No 2 overall pick of the 2015 NBA draft and he spent two seasons with Los Angeles before being traded on 22 June 2017, with Timofey Mozgov to the Nets for Kyle Kuzma and Brook Lopez.
He made stops with the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves before the Lakers acquired him again on 9 February 2023, as part of a three-team deal headlined by veteran Mike Conley being traded from the Utah Jazz to Minnesota.
He has started all 20 games he’s appeared in, averaging 10.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 29 minutes per game.
Los Angeles will send Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to Brooklyn for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton, per the report.
