D’Angelo Russell addresses future with Nets
D’Angelo Russell would love to be back in Brooklyn. But would Brooklyn love to have Russell back? That’s the multimillion-dollar question. The veteran point guard is headed into unrestricted free agency for the first time, but doing it in a summer where cap space is hard to come by. “I don’t think it’s in my control, to be honest,” Russell told The Post on Saturday. “I’ve been on the team before where everybody was free agents, too. So they’ve got the leverage, they’ve got the cards. If they decide to bring me back, cool. If not, we’ll figure it out.”

More on this storyline
“Hope? Yeah. (But) I just want to be in the NBA,” Russell said before the Nets’ 115-113 loss to the Celtics at Barclays Center. “I don’t think I’ve ever been a free agent. I look back on it, I’ve never been. For me, it’s a weird feeling, but see how it goes. I signed an extension with the Lakers, two years — one-plus-one, player option. I just never hit (free agency). So I’m excited to see.” The point guard, who had 11 points and eight assists in Saturday’s loss, is in the final season of a two-year, $36 million deal he signed with the Lakers in 2023. -via New York Post / March 16, 2025
DLo discusses what's missing from the Timberwolves: "No offense, because I'm in it right now, but like, when I watch their team I'm like, 'You know who they need? KAT.' And then I'm like, 'Yo, they need me.' Like, honestly, I'm like they need what they got rid of." -via reddit / March 15, 2025
Erik Slater: D'Angelo Russell has posted a +14.0 net rating swing with the Nets this season. That leads all NBA point guards and ranks seventh among all players (min 500 minutes). Brooklyn is 9-9 in games D'Lo has played at least 20 minutes. pic.x.com/36Px1hg3Su -via Twitter @erikslater_ / March 13, 2025
