It's not even about Magic's personal feelings. DLO was straight up retarded and does not possess any leadership qualities whatsoever. This became evident when he liked the tweet of that one guy saying Lonzo Ball wouldn't be a good fit in LA. This was him knowing damn well Lakers were most likely gonna select him. Don't give me that "he's only 21!!!" bullshyt. I'm 21 as well and you won't see me make the same mistake twice... especially when I'm making millions. Dude was and is a cancer. The end.

and thats a problem. as a FO you cant let personal feelings get in the way of common basketball knowledge

Not saying he didn't like him as a person, I'm saying he didn't like him as a basketball player. Magic felt D'Angelo wasn't dedicated to his craft enough and wasn't taking those extra steps to be great.

I believe that given enough time he will improve in regards to his maturity, but I can't be mad at Magic for not wanting to keep him around hoping he'd mature.

He was the ONLY young player the team had that was consistently criticized for immaturity and lack of professionalism. Wasn't there a story about someone finding him walking around quaking like a duck or some shyt?

Like what are you basing this off of?..all the young dudes seemed like they chilled together off the court. They all worked out together. This is 100% bullshyt. A cancer?..man stop. Paul George isnt a leader either and throws his teammates under the bus, but yall want him so miss me with this

If you mad about dlo being traded go join the nets bandwagon. Dude was a cancer in the locker room and not liked. Dlo gonna put # up on a trash nets team and I don't wanna hear these dlosexuals complaining about this trade all season long.
Where is your proof he was a cancer?..yall dudes cant keep it 100 for shyt and are making up this cancer bs to make yourseoves feel better. I gotta be a Nets fan cause im mad about the D'Lo trade?..the majority of NBA fans and analyst think its a dumbass trade. Damn near every Lakers media person criticized the trade, miss me with thG

From Atlanta to San Fran to LA 4now
DLo didn't show me much plus I cant see the backcourt with lonzo and him especially on the defensive end he was slow footed and if he wasn't scoring he's not affecting the stat sheet at all. I'm ready for the new regime and to get some winning basketball going.

i think their concerns are more about how much vets like DLO rather than the young guys. The young guys definitely fukked with D Lo. But who knows who vets feel about that snitching shyt:yeshrug:. When Kobe snitched on Shaq, he was alienated by all his older teammates. As time went on and his teammates become younger than him, no one gave a fukk .

but Lonzo isn't athletic......

:usure:


What's evident in that video is how effortless he gets up... he's not even using his full vert. I saw an IG post of his before the draft where he was doing windmills off the backboard.

Pacers will have to take Randle + Clarkson + draft picks for PG eventually. I know people say just wait until PG is a FA but 1) if we sign 2 max FA's in 2018 we might need to let Randle go anyway because he will want max extension especially if he balls out this year and 2) If PG gets traded to Boston or Cleveland, he won't come here. Can't take that chance. We could easily strike out in 2018 and be fukked.
We will have to renounce randle rights no matter what if we are going 2 sign 2 max players, so clearly he will be moved in a trade

The proof that he was a cancer is him getting traded no more needs to be said

And for goodness sakes,

why the fukk is dlo still a topic?

Sure he can be a great player in this league but he wasn't right for this team.

Dude cared way too much about hollywood and hoes.

Jordan Clarkson needs to be the next man gone if we're keeping it 100.

Magic is making it clear, its a new regime and we want guys that are fully committed.

this cry baby Clarkson removed all things Lakers from his twitter page like he's not fukking expendable you dime a dozen chucking bum :camby:
