Speculations spur regarding D'Angelo Russell's future

It reflects the relationship that General Manager Rob Pelinka has cultivated with the Lakers and how committed they are to capturing yet another championship. Although this iteration of the club appears to be a championship contender, certain uncertainties remain. What they will do with the freshly re-signed point guard D'Angelo Russell is one of them. Because of his terrible performance in the Western Conference Finals of the previous season, many people in the game are speculating about what his future may hold.

He signed a two-year contract to return to the Lakers this summer, but many think they will try to trade him as the trade deadline approaches. Now that the team has also signed point guard Gabe Vincent, it's unclear what his position will be. However, one source thinks they have the solution to all of the Lakers' problems. According to Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz, this season for the Lakers, Russell should sit on the bench.
