D'Angelo Russell hangs with new Nets teammates at BIG3 opener
There's no time like the present to forge a bond with new teammates, which is what guard D'Angelo Russell was caught doing Sunday at the BIG3's opener.
Hanging out courtside, Russell posed for some photos with Archie Goodwin, Caris LeVert, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, all of whom the No. 2 pick will be playing alongside next season for the Brooklyn Nets.

Russell and the $54 million remaining on Timofey Mozgov's contract were recently dealt by the Los Angeles Lakers to Brooklyn in exchange for Brook Lopez and the 27th pick in last Thursday's draft.
There were some fans in attendance who weren't exactly thrilled to see him there, though. According to The Washington Post's Tim Bontemps, Russell received quite the negative reaction when introduced over the live speaker.
