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

[Darealtwo1]

Byron Scott said they had to beg this nikka d'angelo to workout....nikka flat out said he is 21 but sometimes I think he's 12

Dude was not focused on bball at all. nikka was living the LA life and got the wake up call. HELLO BROOKLYN.

That nikka clarkson is next....everysingle time I see him he coming out of some restaurant in weho with a new model on his arm....Hailey, Chanel, Kendall with a on his face. Magic getting rid of these nikkas

If Russell matures he may have a nice prime. His shot is fluid and his handles are pretty good. Hopefully, the Nets will humble him and the city will mold him.

Cousins ain't moving the needle like that. We'd still have a shot to keep the pick

Nah that's false. boogie would have easily taken us out of range for the pick. He can win you random games by himself, it's why kings were always bad but nowhere near bad enough for another top 2 pick.

DLo likely won't be a superstar, but dude can be make multiple AS games, you don't trade someone like that on a rookie deal to simply clear salary.

 

[Controversy]

Randle doesn't have the wingspan of Draymond...without their elite DEF, Warriors would be an updated version of mid-2000s Suns...and Draymond anchors that def, in which Randle does not have the ability to do bc of his t-rex arms

If all goes right, Ball could be a 12-8-5 player as a rookie. I see Jason Kidd in him. The Lakers will need him to be able to shoot at a 45% clip tho.

Ingram does possess Durant like traits, and he did improve as a rook. Durant said himself it's like looking in the mirror watching Ingram. Ingram's ceiling to me is 27-7-3 on decent %s (47-82-36).

 

[beenz]

this thread is delusional. we comparing ball and russell to the splash bros?!??!?!?

and comparing ingram to KD!?!?!? KD at least won ROY.

Ball can be Curry, Russell can be Klay(or at least a Ginobili), Ingram is the next KD, Randle can grow to be a Draymond.

In my mind I was a thinking......

Thank god it started and ended there

Easily. I've seen plenty of games that Cousins got the Kings a W practically by himself.

First you you could've had

PG Ball
SG Russell
SF Ingram
PF Randle
C whoever

In my mind I was a thinking this is gonna be the Warriors completely built this time think about it

Ball can be Curry, Russell can be Klay(or at least a Ginobili), Ingram is the next KD, Randle can grow to be a Draymond.

They got Luke as coach who already know how the Warriors are which is great.

Then I see you want to offload Mozgovs Contract, should've just Gave them a Future 2019 or 2018 1st along with Mozzy to some team

Making Cap Space for PG is a dumb fukk move, He will hinder Ball and Ingram, I'm assuming he'll be a Leader and they ain't gonna be bout that Team Ball Life, plus they also want Bron to come now, I love Bron, been rooting for him since 2013(just a Bron Fan) but he's going to be old, not a good look...

idk man they should just wait GS out with their young core growing but they fukked it up

You tweaked't.

Magic just stole arguably one of the best pedigreed centers in the whole entire league and got better draft position.
Plus got the east coast best center for a steal and to ko ey launder a fellow red mafia member in mozgawd for the rooskies in Brooklyn.

Magic just got another A on his culture card in a position of power for the Lakers flanking that fiyoine ass Jeannie buss.

How is Jeannie buss, so fiyoine?

Nikka a in thread man, they going off of 2 seasons and 1 season of players Curry really wasn't relevant until he was 27 dude been in the league since 09.

 

[Kairi Irving]

All I gotta say is enjoy the Banana Boat Squad in 2019 Brehs. This D'Angelo trade set it in stone.

You don't pass up the opportunity to unload the Mozgov contract.

ESPECIALLY when you are about to draft a player with a higher upside than the guy you "gave up"

Dengs deal is worse than

Lakers should have traded D'Angelo next summer during a weak pg draft

They don't need cap room this summer
