Nets don't care about FA signings like that, they're not looking to clear space for max contracts at all. To them and teams like them, their cap space is a trade asset

and with it they just acquired a guy who'd basically be a top 5 pick in this year's draft (top 10 easily if you're just the hating type).

There's times when you sell high on a rookie contract, but this definitely wasn't it... Half of Russell's on the court problems could've been solved if people just stopped with the "He can pass, so he's a PG!" bullshyt. Legit stunted his development with that nonsense.

We're not contending for a long time, taking that contract was nothing for us. So we got a 21 year old #2 pick in 2015 for an expiring contract and the 27th pick

This is a W for us all day, anyone saying otherwise needs to get their head checked

And that's not saying it cant be a W for the Lakers too if they wind up with their dream scenario. But its an immediate W for Brooklyn

Guys, I agree with everything you've both said. Lakers utilized that asset of cap space BK provides. BK's price to do it was D. Lo. BK gets a good young player and Lakers get from under that crippling contract. I didn't say I thought it was a bad trade, I'm saying that's what Mike and Jemele thought was bad.

Away from the internet for an hour and this stupidity happens. If I recall correctly the Nets were shopping Brook before the trade deadline and were willing to giving him away for just a first rounder and still couldn't find anyone to bite, few months later they get Magic Johnson to come up off of D'angelo Russell for him and a shytty late first rounder, amazing.

Right? I feel like brehs are forgetting we been trying this Lopez deal for years and got nothing close to this. We almost traded him for Reggie Jackson like 2 years ago :mjlol:

Does the Mozgov contract suck, yea. But we have tons of cap space and aren't contending so why not use it to take bad contracts with good assets attached

Fair enough, maybe if they thought about it for more than 3 seconds they would have realized it too :shaq2:

Nope

Ball and Fox will have a greater impact right away. We have to see what happens with Monk but he has blackout potential, we saw it even in his last game at Kentucky.

Breh I'm BBB across the belly but DLo is better than those dudes. Sure Zo might be a better defender than him in the pros, but Russ can be a 1st or 2nd scoring option on a chip team.
