The Lakers dealt their former lottery pick, D'Angelo Russell, to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton on Dec. 29. It was a trade

Earlier this season, D’Angelo Russell was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Brooklyn Nets for the second time in his career. It was under much different circumstances this time, as no one was criticizing Russell on his way out the door and the trade was purely for basketball reasons.

Former Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell does not have a good review on his return with the Lakers. Speaking as a member of the Nets, Russell recently admitted that he was glad to be back in Brooklyn and called out the Lakers for his alleged traumatizing experience.
