Russell said he honed his tactical approach from a former teammate: Warriors forward Draymond Green. “When I got around Draymond, I seen him in the film room, like really talking and really creating controversy. Really challenging [teammates] and really doing that on purpose,” Russell said. “And I saw how we grew. We weren’t even a good team, but we grew because of that dialogue in the film room. “Then I get here and nobody talks but Bron. I was like, ‘What the f—?’ And then I just started being vocal, and that became where my IQ is exposed now.”

A few months ago it looked like D’Angelo Russell was a lock to get traded. Now, he’s playing his way into a long-term deal.
I wrote about Russell’s future with the Lakers and why his breakout could save the Lakers from a very dangerous Trae Young trade.

Final: Kings 120, Lakers 107
Another loss in contention for the worst of the season. Sacramento sweeps the season series with LA 4-0. The Lakers drop to 36-31. LeBron, AD and DLo were all disappointing. AD is now 0-10 vs. Domantas Sabonis.
Up next: vs. Golden State on Saturday. – 12:27 AM

The Warriors lose in Dallas without Curry and Draymond. It’s a blow in the standings. Drops GSW to 34-31. They’re 3.5 games behind the Mavericks/Kings at the 7th/8th spots and don’t have a clear path for tiebreaker against either. – 10:54 PM

Given the importance of this Mavs game for the Warriors, if Draymond could go, he would go. This low back soreness, which popped up on the last injury report too (probable -he played) is something important to monitor. Lakers next on Saturday. – 7:47 PM

Draymond Green: My back has been bothering me for like four or five games… the hope is that… those extra couple days will allow it to go away because it’s just no fun… and it’s also has been kind of in that same area that I had the issue before -via YouTube / March 15, 2024
Draymond Green: “Happy Birthday to the goat Steph Curry 36 years old today… also saw some news about Steph saying he’s running for president… I actually think Steph Curry could be the president and I actually think Steph Curry would be a great president and the news that you all did not know you needed was Draymond Green would be in the White House in some form of fashion and none of y’all thought y’all needed that news and you never could have believed it, but I’m telling you Secretary of Defense that’ll be a good title for your boy.” -via YouTube / March 15, 2024
Brian Lewis: Dennis Schroder on D’Angelo Russell’s comments: “I don’t understand it. But at the end of the day, it just shows off immaturity. You’re not really mature if you’re just keeping somebody’s name in his mouth and just running it. I don’t understand.” #Nets #LAL #Lakers -via Twitter @NYPost_Lewis / March 15, 2024
Russell knew Ham and Schroder’s history went back nearly a decade to their time together with the Atlanta Hawks, where Ham was an assistant coach. Russell, meanwhile, had been around Ham for two months. (Schroder signed a two-year deal with the Toronto Raptors in the offseason and was traded to the Brooklyn Nets last month.) “His relationship with Darvin is the reason I couldn’t have a relationship with Darvin,” Russell said. “When I was struggling, I would’ve been able to come to the coach and say, ‘Bro, this is what we should do. Like, I can help you.’ Instead, there was no dialogue. … I just accepted it. “And we got swept and I’m here and he’s not. And I like our chances.” -via ESPN / March 14, 2024
“It takes a strong individual, especially when you’re hearing everything that goes around,” James said of Russell. “You’re hearing the trade talks, you’re hearing this and that and whatever the case may be and ‘Is D-Lo the right fit?’ or whatever. One thing is, he just don’t waver. -via ESPN / March 14, 2024
