Lakers want to keep D'Angelo Russell beyond this season
Woj said on the latest episode of his eponymous podcast, “The Woj Pod,” that he believes the team wants to keep D’Angelo Russell beyond this season, and may even broach an extension with him: “I think for the Lakers, they’ve used that pick now. They’ve moved off of Russell Westbrook and now D’Angelo Russell is a player I think they do have interest in talking about a contract extension with. Whether it’s during the season or after the season when he’s a free agent and can do a new deal.”

there are dozens of plays like this one. the shooting is great, but the chemistry/defense stuff better illustrates why the team that traded a first to get dlo is a loser: theringer.com/nba/2023/2/9/2… – 11:23 AM

this clip is in the story and helps explain why moving on from dlo and getting pretty much anything for him (let alone a stabilizing presence like conley) made minnesota a winner.

My read: I don’t think D’Angelo Russell was toxic. It was nowhere near the Jimmy situation. It … just didn’t work. Connelly said he enjoyed talking ball w/ DLo. There were great moments. But there were bumps in the road too, and the Wolves wanted to go another way – 10:32 PM

Did I miss a Timberwolves’ trade? Or is Mike Conley refusing to report? Because oddsmakers dropped them from 100/1 to 200/1 with the DLo-Conley switch. Scouts’ consensus (w/which I agree) is that the TWolves will be appreciably better with Conley’s steadier hand and leadership. – 5:34 PM

Why it didn’t make salary cap sense to give Naz Reid a contract extension prior to the deadline, and why, after the DLo trade, it does make more salary cap sense to extend the 23 year-old big.

A lot of people view Cam Johnson as a “young player,” but he’ll be 27 years old in three weeks.

The Timberwolves and D’Angelo Russell were far apart on extension talks. Minnesota acquires Mike Conley, who’s averaging a career-high 7.7 assists, partly due to his chemistry with Rudy Gobert from their Jazz days. Conley is guaranteed $14.32M of his $24.36M salary next season. – 8:41 PM

Kyle Goon: D’Angelo Russell on his first stint with the Lakers: “When I reflect on my time in the past, it’s all Kobe. … Appreciating Kobe when I was here wasn’t really something I did because I was young and figuring it out. But as soon as I left, I appreciated him more.” -via Twitter @kylegoon / February 10, 2023
Kyle Goon: D’Angelo Russell on playing with LeBron and AD, says he’s excited to see what it’s like playing with guys who draw that gravity.
