Does D’Angelo Russell Want The Lakers To Not Draft Lonzo Ball?

The reality of UCLA star Lonzo Ball heading to his prime destination with the Los Angeles Lakers got a whole lot more likely, ever since the Los Angeles received the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft during the Draft Lottery.

Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell, whom fans are still waiting for to live up to the hype he generated pre-draft, could bet scared to lose his current position with the team when they draft Ball.

Watching D'Angelo Russell highlights from this year makes me think there is no way in hell they should draft Lonzo. They stupid if they do

Russell has ‘unliked’ the tweet, after it got so much attention, and we don’t really know if Russell is against drafting Ball.
