As D\u2019Angelo Russell continues to struggle, trade rumors suggest potential return to Brooklyn Nets, with Lakers eyeing veterans like Claxton and Johnson in return.<\/div>\n

D\u2019Angelo Russell\u2019s struggles continued Wednesday night in Miami, where he managed just 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting in a brutal 134-93 loss. Now, trade rumors are starting to swirl around the former All-Star guard.<\/p>\n

According to Bleacher Report\u2019s Grant Hughes, the Brooklyn Nets could emerge as a landing spot for Russell \u2013 bringing him back to where his career started.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t go so far as to say which of the Brooklyn Nets\u2019 many available vets will come back to the Los Angeles Lakers,\u201d Hughes writes, \u201cbut there are plenty of intriguing options between Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson, Nic Claxton and even old friend Dennis Schroder.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The deal could work for both sides. Brooklyn gets salary matching pieces (and possibly draft picks or young talent like Hood-Schifino or Christie), while the Lakers could land the defensive-minded big man they\u2019ve been seeking in Claxton (much-needed help for an overburdened Anthony Davis).<\/p>\n

For Russell, who\u2019s been filling in for the injured Austin Reaves but struggling to find consistency, a change of scenery might be exactly what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

The question is whether Brooklyn sees enough upside in the sweeteners to help solve the Lakers\u2019 mounting problems.<\/p>\n

With Russell\u2019s inconsistent play and the Lakers desperate for help, a return to Brooklyn feels increasingly possible. While he likely wouldn\u2019t stay with the Nets long-term, his $19 million expiring contract could be the key to unlocking the veteran help Los Angeles needs.<\/p>\n

As the trade deadline approaches, this might be one of those rare deals that makes sense for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
