HE SHOT 32.1% AND ALSO AVERAGED 16.4 POINTS WITH 9.3 BOARDS....HE'S A 6'9 FORWARD, NOT SPOSTA BE A KNOCK DOWN SHOOTER.

He's inconsistent like many young players not a reason to trade him imo

He wasn't traded for being inconsistent. The front office and coaching staff got tired of his immaturity, thought he had a poor work ethic, and wasn't serious about his craft.

There's no one reason why he was traded, it was just a perfect storm of things that led to him being dumped with Moz.

Stop man you were caping for dude hard. Russell performed much better than Ingram last year. You don't have to cape for this front office, they fukked up plain and simple.

Maybe I was caping for him because he was a Laker.

I hope Russell goes to the Nets and averages 20 ppg but to say he was a bright spot is not true. Sure he had his moments but he was inconsistent as fukk and from all accounts, he was cancerous to the culture. Byron Scott hates you AND Luke Walton? :aicmon:

He'll be way better on the Nets tho so I'm happy for him. He just seemed way into hollywood.

Russell and Randle both had better rookie years than Ingram.

I think Ingram is going to be dope moving forward, but his rookie season was terrible. He improved a lot as the season went on, but he was bad no matter how you slice it.

They had better seasons as far as numbers. sure. But MCW had a great rookie season numbers wise too. When they all played at their best, who did you look at and say :whoo: I see it. Randle? :skip: Russell? :leostare: Ingram? :ohlawd:. Ingram showed way more his rookie season than both did. I don't caree about the numbers. Why else do you think BI is off limits? Because of numbers? :childplease:

Brehs we need to give them some time to decide if this was a good trade not.. It's been said earlier that it feels like this trade was to set up another move... Be patient :gucci:

So why did Luke say Lonzo came in to improve the culture and everyone on twitter is acknowledging that it's a clear shot at DLO?

Bruh, Luke benched him when DLO was having his best run.

Well it's official now so I guess it's time to move forward. I think DLo will flourish in BK and I wish the best for him. I guess this FO is aiming at some bootleg Kobe/Shaq thing with George and perhaps Boogie. I hope Boogie knocks that nikka out when he freezes up in the clutch, ol bum ass nikka. :camby:

Actually playing at their absolute best Randle looked the best, he was downright dominant in a few games. Ingram at his best looked really good but with him you also have a feeling that his ascension is inevitable. With Randle I get why a lot of people question if he can put it all together consistently.

It's a bit far to say that Luke hated D'Lo and that the kid was a cancer, but he clearly frustrated Luke in the same way he frustrated Byron Scott.

And yeah people are glossing over Luke Benching D'Lo regularly late in games and had him coming off the bench later in the season.

Randle will always be ass defensively. Ingram's potential is much higher than Randle's and at his best, he looked a lot better.

Magic must be calling Indy's bluff on George. He isn't gonna get raped in a trade for him.

Randle looks great if you're paying attention to one end. Defensively, he was giving everything back. Not entirely his fault, he has blake griffin arms. Hopefully the new conditioning and body(nh) helps him out with endurance. Dude got gassed way too quick. We need to give up on the whole he can be our next draymond.
