Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole D’Angelo Russell situation with the Lakers. It’s been a rollercoaster, man! First, I started by just watching games, really paying attention to how he fits – or doesn’t fit – with the team.
Then, I dug into some stats. I’m no expert, but I wanted to see the numbers – his scoring, assists, turnovers, all that good stuff. I even compared his stats from this season to previous ones. It was kinda messy, just scribbling on paper, trying to make sense of it all.
My Little Research Journey
- Watched a bunch of Lakers games, focusing on D’Lo’s plays.
- Checked out game highlights and lowlights, if that’s a thing.
- Looked up his basic stats – points, assists, that kinda thing.
- Also, went to a few basketball forums and fan pages, it’s a good thing to see.
After that, I started reading articles and listening to podcasts about the Lakers. I wanted to hear what other people were saying, you know? Some were all for keeping him, others were ready to ship him out. It was a total mixed bag.

I even tried to put myself in the Lakers’ front office shoes. Like, what would I do? It’s tough! There are so many things to consider – his contract, the team’s chemistry, the potential for trades… It’s a real headache.
Finally, I formed my own opinion. And honestly? I’m still not 100% sure. There are good arguments on both sides. But hey, that’s what makes it interesting, right? This whole process has been a learning experience, for sure.
