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

[hayesc0]

This is one of the dumbest trades of all time

Nets gotta take Deng and mozgov for some shyt like this

For some reason im not sold on russell so i dont see it as bad.

It's a bad move to me, I liked what the Lakers were doing by going young and trying to develop their core through the draft. This is right back to square 1 where they were obsessed with getting big names rather than letting it grow.


The only player you know that I didn't like was Randle, outside of that I liked Russell, Ingram and I thought Ball / Russell / Ingram would be a great foundation to work with because it would have gotten Russell off the ball a lot more with a willing passer next to him.

It's not back to square 1 because from all indications, the perception about the Lakers have significantly changed since change of management. Teams don't want by building through the draft. Even GS traded Monta to take that next step. How do you expect to acquire free agents and big names if you don't have cap?

Lonzo
Ingram

First Prodigy passed away and now this shyt?! My good day is now a bad day

 

[100Percent]

I like the trade for both teams.

 

[AJtheOne]

I fukk wit this trade good job Marks D'Angelo always balled out against us, he fits our system perfectly. He's gonna have a strong season.

I'm gonna miss Brook tho

 

[Captain Crunch]

NO TF HE WOULD NOT

DLO>Ball; Fox, Monk, and Tatum

 

[NoMorePie]

As long as San Antonio still drafts Jordan bell at #28 then I couldn't give a shyt

The Warriors were built through the draft, 3 of their 4 all-stars were drafted by them, they also put a working team out on the floor before they started pursing free agents. They traded Monta because they needed a center and already knew what he was, not to get more capspace.

 

[42 Monks]

but yeah, bad trade for LA

all they had to do was stop with the Russell at PG bullshyt, have the outspoken locker room leader NOT be Nick Young, and be patient

that's all they had to do.

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

this is a win for both teams imo. DLo showed a lot of potential to be a manu type level player but pairing him with lonzo and ingram would've been a defensive disaster. plus dumping mozgov's contract was huge and if they get PG13 it would be worth it.

The amount of delusion that runs through the lakers fanbase is astonishing


Then Lebron and melo

I remember that shyt... 2014 lebron and melo were free agents in the same year and they aint get shyt

monta was old dlo is what 21 and showing the best promise out of all the lakers prospects. move screams win now to me, yall should have drafted tatum or jackson. told pg13 to eat a dikk

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Breh the media hates D'lo. This should give you pause. ESPN heads are notorious for not knowing shyt

Not them 2 though

And Dangelo was nothing crazy to me... I don't care how many points he scores in 30 minutes or some shyt at his age. He wasn't making anyone better, had leadership issues, could not play defense, and was too immature to be a floor leader.

I wouldn't mind if he stayed but I didn't mind if he got traded. Him and Randle was our biggest tradeable assets. Not we got Randle and 3 first round picks and a Deng contract to dump
