Former LA Lakers champion Dwight Howard thinks he knows what went down behind the scenes in the D'Angelo Russell trade on Sunday. Many likely saw the trade coming as LA was actively involved in trade rumors with Russell seen as the likely asset to be sent away.
According to Howard, this decision was not on Rob Pelinka or any other front office member. Instead, he believes that four-time NBA MVP LeBron James ultimately decided that Russell was to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
Howard shared his thoughts during a live session which was then screen-captured and reposted on X on Monday.
"D'lo went to the Nets, he went back to the Nets," Howard said. "What's going on NBA? What's going on Lakers? 'LeGM' made the decision. 'LeGM' said 'that's enough D'Lo.'"
