D'Angelo Russell traded to the Nets for Brook Lopez & 27th pick

[Blackrogue]

The problem with the drafting of the Dlos and okafors is your getting a player who is good among his peers but is a dime a dozen in the NBA.

Waste q whole season tanking to get someone only to flip him at the lowest value. That's why I liked hinkie. When MCW had a good year he still dumped him cause he was trash. I didn't believe in MCW pre draft and I'm still waiting for him to prove me wrong early in his career. At the very least they should have kept DLO this season. This trade would have been available later

Getting rid of that mozgov contract was the main thing
Do it magic

The more I look at it could be a win win the lakers got 10 mil in cap with trade.

Lakers coming for Golden State

[itsyoung!!]

We traded our best player to dump the salary.

Julius Randle has a more promising potential to me than Detective plus you knew he was gone anyway if you were drafting Lonzo Ball

you are drafting a 6'6 (6'7? ) PG who could turn into something great in the NBA on top of unloading the worst contract in the league in Mozgov and get a serviceable big man in Brook Lopez in return...

I wonder how much they can save it they just cut deng?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Horrible deal, Russell in Brooklyn with free reign will develop


@No Homo hit a lick

[#1 pick]

LA in 2018 mode. They all about getting LeBron and PG13. They are making winning moves. They are on some fukk the long term shyt

 

[Damnshow]

also this just shows how epic bad the lakers management was

they went for developing their young talent, then they signed for absolutely no reason mozgov and deng. And now to get rid of that horrible mozgov contract they have to give away one of their suppsed to be main pieces for a fukking brook lopez who will demand a big contract in 2018 offseason

nikkas reallu quick to forgot how Russell was looking at OSU. Always on the next new shiny object smh. If it wasn't for injury and shytty minutes managemebt by Luke, he would be had a great year. And he still had a solid year despite that. Could easily be a 24-5-5 guy next year if his spirit isn't broken

Repped, best post of this nba off-season :buckeyesalute:. Logs in 5th alias and negs @Regular_P for 5th time today :Scustbrutus:

 

[O.T.I.S.]

probably but this trade sucks. should have gotten rid of Ingram or randle

Russell over Ingram????

Why the hell are Michael and Jemele shytting on this trade?

They shytting on the Nets for this trade, Lets be clear.

Obviously they see something a lot of y'all don't.

I guess this means they're trying to get either PG or LeLoss with the first round picks. Hopefully not the #2 pick. Maybe Clarkson/Randle or both or either one and a pick

 

[kt773]

nikkas really thought this fake ass Lou Williams was gonna be special?

 

[CantStop]

Nah, this is a horrific trade, you know I like Russell (Just not superstar potential) because you're trading a young player for the potential at having space to sign a 34 year old LeBron. And there's no guarantee he goes there, for all we know he could just be angling to join the Clippers.

I rather take that chance. If Russell's biggest asset is being young then there are bigger issues with his game. Question: If we trade for PG, where would Russell fit? He'd be on the bench and his value would decrease even more.
