Los Angeles Lakers player D’Angelo Russell is hot, playing some of his best basketball. But he was also a big trade rumor. How is he doing it? And can he keep being this useful to a team that desperately needs him to be? Los Angeles Times reporters Dan Woike and Broderick Turner talk it out.
Former staff writer Dan Woike covered the Lakers for the Los Angeles Times after spending two seasons covering the league as a whole, with an emphasis on Los Angeles’ teams. His work has been honored by the Pro Basketball Writers Assn. He previously covered the Clippers during the “Lob City” era for the Orange County Register, spending most of the past decade chasing NBA teams around the country. He’s also covered the Chargers, the Angels, the Dodgers and USC while in Los Angeles.
