After getting traded back to the franchise that made him a first-round pick he played a major role in their late-season success in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, during the playoffs, he disappeared when they needed him most.<\/p>\n<p>Then with expectations far higher, the 10-year veteran had a disappointing season in 2023-24.<\/p>\n<p>The expectation was if he did opt into the final year of his contract this summer he would be shipped out of town in an offseason trade. However, the market for the guard\u2019s services was non-existent.<\/p>\n<p>Things did not get better to start the season under new head coach<strong>\u00a0JJ Redick<\/strong>. However, the former\u00a0<em>ESPN<\/em>\u00a0analyst made a bold decision recently to send Russell to the bench. The 28-year-old has surprisingly brought into the demotion and seems reinvigorated by coming off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Since moving to the bench, the Lakers are 19.9 points better per 100 possessions when he\u2019s on the court, and 5.4 points worse per 100 when he\u2019s off. And that seems to be why the front office has changed their stance on using him in a trade anytime soon.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>D\u2019Angelo Russell stats (2024):<\/strong>\u00a012.1 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 4.8 APG, 1.0 SPG, 33% 3PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-los-angeles-lakers-are-now-in-no-rush-to-make-d-angelo-russell-trade\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Los Angeles Lakers are now in no rush to make D\u2019Angelo Russell trade<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NBA-Memphis-Grizzlies-at-Los-Angeles-Lakers-24755558.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"los angeles lakers\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn talking to sources close to the Lakers, Russell playing well in this role might make them a little more reluctant to part with him, as the bench unit seriously struggled with Gabe Vincent at the helm,\u201d<\/em> Clutch Points Lakers insider Anthony Irwin reported Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is actually who Russell can be for the rest of the season, the Lakers might get even more picky about who they\u2019d trade him for or would look to find a more reliable option than Vincent as part of a Russell trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>D\u2019Angelo Russell contract:<\/strong>\u00a0One year, $18.6 million left<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is a surprising turn of events for a player whose value seemed to his an all-time low in the summer.
