The news is no surprise as Russel, Randle, and Nance look to be a part of the team’s young core with Brandon Ingram going forward. Los Angeles has drafted all three of these players in the last few years and will be able to play under Luke Walton‘s style.
The trio all showed signs of promise last season during a tough year.
The future looks bright for Los Angeles! What do you think fans? Is this going to be a turnaround year? Or will Los Angeles continue to struggle? Comment below!
