[Saba Sports News] The 2024 offseason has been full of surprises for Los Angeles Lakers fans. The team made a notable coaching change by hiring JJ Redick to replace Darvin Ham and drafted standout college player Dalton Knecht.
However, they largely retained the same roster that won 47 games last season and managed just one playoff win against the Denver Nuggets.
The Lakers’ plans for improving the team remain unclear. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis as their core, they have the foundation for a title run, but a third star or further upgrades are needed, which may involve trading D’Angelo Russell.
On Monday, Russell sparked intrigue with a cryptic tweet: “🥹.”
Fans quickly speculated that a trade might be on the horizon, with many suggesting Russell could be on his way out.
While some thought the tweet could relate to unrelated news, the possibility of a trade involving Russell is fueling ongoing speculation, especially as the Lakers look to maximize LeBron’s championship window as he approaches 40.
