Anthony Davis Instagram Activity Hints at Interest in D'Angelo Russell Rejoining Lakers
By Max Scoli
Anthony Davis has yet to play an NBA game in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform, but it looks like the All-Star is already starting to recruit some free agents ahead of the June 30 start date.
AD started following D'Angelo Russell on Instagram, and could be trying to convince the young guard to leave Brooklyn to come back to the West Coast, where he spent the first two years of his career.

With reports all but guaranteeing Kyrie Irving to the Nets, where does that leave Russell? It has been said that the Brooklyn Nets will not look to re-sign their potential Most Improved Player Award winner if they land Mr. Flat Earth, giving him the perfect opportunity to join a winning situation in Los Angeles.

D-Lo has had problems with Lakers management in the past, culminating in him being traded to the Nets after not getting along with organization members, but things have certainly changed.
Since his departure from LA, Russell has increased his per game averages by a substantial margin. He also managed to make it to the playoffs this season while the Lakers did not.
