D'Angelo Russell agreed to a two-year, $37 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, co-heads of CAA Basketball Austin Brown and Aaron Mintz along with Antonio Russell told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Saturday.

The deal includes a player option for the second year.

Originally drafted by the Lakers with the No. 2 pick in 2015, Russell returned to L.A. in February as part of a three-team deal between the Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Utah Jazz, coming from the Wolves to replace the outgoing Russell Westbrook.

Russell, 27, averaged 17.4 points on 48.4% from the field and 41.4% from 3 with 6.1 assists in 17 regular season games after the trade.

A pretty good deal for both sides. The Lakers get a decent player to carry the load through the regular season to not wear down Lebron and AD too much, but they're paying less than $20M/year. I just hope he builds more chemistry with AD, because the Lakers have lacked a consistent playmaker to lob the basketball and create easy, verticle offenses above the basket since Rondo was here.
