Would be a mistake to trade Russell before he matured. Would be a regrettable offense

Agreed, people are just impatient when it comes to the Lakers young players.

It's not like these young guys are eating up tons of cap space and if he was as bad as people keep making him out to be he wouldn't be a valuable trade piece.

Russell is better than Ball no way we trade Russell.

Maybe if we got Fultz, then Russell would be redundant. But in today's NBA. Russell's shooting is more valuable than Ball's passing.
Ball might be a better shooter. I'm not sold on Russell's shot yet. He's been very streaky so far.

Yeah, D'Lo's shooting is overrated because of his form while Lonzo's shooting seems to be underrated because of his form. We wont really know till we see Lonzo playing against NBA level competition though.

Ingram hasn't exactly proven himself to be a good shooter either.

No matter who we're talking about the young players needs time to develop.

The only guys that have come close to hitting their ceiling are Clarkson and Nance.

The fukkery would be legendary if we picked Josh Jackson. Absolutely legendary
Or if they traded down with Sacramento for the 5th and 10th picks. :mjgrin:

They can finally move Russell to the two guard spot if they take Ball (or Fultz). I want to see how he looks off the ball.
