It seems as if the Lakers are involved in every single rumor today. Yesterday the Lakers were in on a potential blockbuster that would land DeMarcus Cousins in Los Angeles.

Earlier today reports surfaced that LaMarcus Aldridge has a growing interest in joining the Lakers. With that being said the Lakers have turned to Russell to try and fill out the roster.

Arash Markazi of ESPN.com reported that Russel as the biggest chance to be a star in the NBA, but also the biggest chance of being a bust.
