Russell Posts “My Life Is the Best Movie Ever” as Lakers Expected to Waive Him

On September 10 Beijing time, Lakers guard Russell updated his personal social media account and wrote only one sentence: “My life the best movie ever ️.”

According to Bleacher Report, to meet the regular-season 15-man roster requirement, the Lakers are expected to waive four players: Russell, Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and Christian Wood.

A Post and a Waiver List

Russell’s post did not mention anyone by name and did not directly respond to the waiver news. However, the timing of the post was almost the same as reports about the Lakers’ expected roster moves, leading many fans to connect the two.

Four Players Expected to Be Waived

Besides Russell, the other three players mentioned in the report are Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and Christian Wood. The Lakers need to keep their roster within the regular-season limit of 15 players, so they must make choices.
