You had a footnote in the book where you wanted to speak with D’Angelo Russell about his first stint with the Lakers, and he said he didn’t have anything good to say about them and could talk with you then and there, and then funny enough, he gets traded to the Lakers six months later. Did you find a lot of other former players who had animosity towards the Lakers? Yaron Weitzman: I did not get much animosity. Russell Westbrook did not want to talk. I'm guessing there would be animosity there, but he didn't talk to me. I don't wanna say animosity, but I got the impression that Josh Hart's experience there was not great that first year with the Lakers. But honestly, none of those guys had a good experience. I spoke to Brandon Ingram about it and he acknowledged that it was tough and some things LeBron did that year frustrated him. But he also said, looking back, I was immature and looking back, I understand, I have more understanding of it.
