Trading Russell in a dump will never make sense. He's young talented and cost controlled for s number of years. He would've been fine off the ball with Lonzo there as they build chemistry. It didn't make any sense.
dude was liking negative Lonzo comments on social media before he even was drafted. There was no way Dlo would have been ok giving the keys to Lonzo.

Alot of Laker fans are really deluding themselves thinking Lonzo is better. Not even as rookies are they comparable.

Nets just need to surround him with 1 slasher(Levert) and a legit 3 and d guy and he'll be playing like back in Ohio state. Remember, he took that bum ass squad to the tournament
and every time he faced NBA level talent in college he got locked up. :francis:

I'll always think it was a bad move to shop him out. We could have had Kuzma still and had a chance to see if a Ball/Doughboy backcourt could work. If PG don't come it's a bust :yeshrug:

Have you seen Lonzo play?

Look who we giving the keys too.. DLo was a better rookie also.

Point blank you could've had both, and Kuzma...

If y'all ok with having Rajon rondo 2.0 then cool I guess, that's not a player to lead a franchise tho.

He 22.



Just went at Damian Lillard head last night for a W. The nets also have the same record as the cavs.

Lakers are cursed. Let's keep deluding ourselves thinking Lonzo Ball gonna lead us to the promise land tho.

I was told he hasn't improved at all since his rookie season and those are just empty stats......








:francis:

Just like Russell improved so will lonzo

you could've kept D'angelo and Drafted Jayson Tatum with the 2nd pick, instead you got stuck with the Basketball Version of Tim Tebow.
 

#1 pick

Nobody even got to find out if lonzo and Russ could play/grow together. They just dealt a young cost controlled asset (they had 6 more years of real control if they wanted it) for Brook lopez lol
They traded Mozgov contract. Mozgov is already looking like shyt in Brooklyn as well. They wouldn't have traded Lopez for Russell straight up. The Lakers wanted to be able to have a shot at PG, LeBron or a star this off-season.

He wasn't impactful at all in LA. LA wasn't a good personnel fit for him. Magic did the right thing. He could have just Okafor'd him like Philly did but he got value for him.
Nah in an actual offense Zo/DLO fit perfect together.

Magic jumped the gun in sensing some resentment from Russel along with banking on PG/Bron.

Turns it over too much and his 3pt% has to increase, but he has potential to be a deadly scorer. I think he’s at his best playing next to a PG and being a “playmaker” instead of running the point (hint: Lakers) but he’s made strides already
