But Russell never had the chance to prove himself, as the Lakers dealt him to the Nets on the night of the 2017 NBA Draft along with Timofey Mozgov in exchange for Brook Lopez and the rights to Kyle Kuzma, the 27th overall pick in the draft.

At the time of the trade, Sportskeeda reported that his net worth was at around $2.5 million, which mostly came from his salary with the Lakers and Nets and his endorsements, which includes a deal with Nike.

The move, however, included Russell signing a four-year, $117 million deal with the Warriors, the winners of three of the previous five championships.

Now for him to get to the next level and be considered as among the game’s best players, he needs to team up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis and get the Lakers back to the NBA Finals and prove that the team was right in trading for him and paying him big money.
