Sounds like Lakers are dangling D’Angelo Russell in effort to get another Top 12 pick. Luke Kennard & Zach Collins appear to be targets https://t.co/2NPeEKX4SM

Adrian Wojnarski of the Vertical reported that the Lakers are resisting salary cap dumps that would include Luol Deng or Timofey Mozgov at the moment.

For now, LA resisting salary dumps on Mozgov or Deng needed to clear future space. Teams trying to snag pick/young player to absorb deals.

Russell was the second overall selection in the 2015 NBA Draft and has been learning the game as a point guard and at times off guard for the Lakers. The former Ohio State point guard is just 21-years old and averaged 15.6 points per game last season.

It is unclear if a move for the another lottery pick would then lead to a move to acquire All-Star Paul George or not. As more information surfaces on the Lakers and their offseason news we will keep you up to date.
