The Los Angeles Lakers got a blowout win over the Portland Trail-Blazers but things aren't as smooth as the front office would like, as some players are looking off which has sparked some trading rumors after recent reports suggest the probable exit of one or more players.

Once again, D'Angelo Russell was the best Laker on the court scoring 34 points in 34 minutes of playtime with 14-21 FG, 6-11 3PT, 1 rebound, 8 assists, and 2 blocks with +29 in the plus/minus.

Despite these numbers and the fact that Russell has been averaging 25.7 PPG in the last five games, the rumors continue on the point guard being traded before the deadline, which now is looking to be a reality as there's a leaked image of him just being plain sad beside the win over the Trail-Blazers and his impressive performance.

But not only D'Angelo Russell could be leaving, but also Rui Hachimura has been rumored to be part of the probable trading package the front office is building to send to the Atlanta Hawks and get Dejounte Murray, and now after the game, Hachimura was captured also looking off and sad.

Lakers fans don't want D'Lo or Hachimura to get a trade

It won't happen but fans prefer Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince to be the trading assets instead of D'Angelo Russell who has been the best player on the team in the last five games while Rui Hachimura has been of great help despite his different injuries and setbacks.
