D'Angelo Russell traded to the Nets for Brook Lopez & 27th pick

[Dr. Narcisse]

Look at the quote I replied to. It's in response to Lonzo vs D'lo. Everyone just loves the new toy. Way to early to act like d'lo sucks

If Lonzo looks worse than DLO year one

 

[Captain Crunch]

the average player doesnt hit their stride til their 2nd deal

The guy yall wolfing about....PG didnt hit his stride til year 3

Their idol Bean didn't become that dude til his 4th year

Giannis and Kawhi didn't show out til year 4

Trade a potential All Star to clear cap room brehs

Please be fake news

I want him to become the 2 guard

Why would you want a frail mediocre shooter as your 2guard?

 

[Malta]

I think @Malta warned me about lakers fans overrating D'Tective something serious, but I had NO IDEA it was this bad.

1st option on a championship team? An inefficient 40% shooter, with subpar defense and will likely stay in that 5-6 APG range for the rest of his career in today's NBA is a #1 option? Tell me I am being trolled here?

He doesn't have superstar potential, but he does have potential, the Laker fans were saying he was the next Curry though

 

[Brozay]

Lakers got rid of a contract that that people swore up and down was untradeable.

they had to attach the #2 pick from 2 drafts ago to move it

It Should be been untradable cause the price was too high. Hell we could've dumped both those contracts to a desperate team if we tossed in the 2nd pick. But no one with sense woukd do it

Magic going after PG and Boogie next summer... Watch

 

[loyola llothta]

No more LA lifestyle

Yup, it takes time for players to develop, and D'Lo was expected to be a project coming into the league. What's funny is the Lakers were going to pick either D'Lo or Okafor, and it's hard to argue they made the wrong choice. D'Lo showed he was better than Mudiay too.

And nobody better fukking bring up Porzingis because when he was drafted people were openly mocking the knics and Knicks fans were fukking livid. He was viewed as a gamble because hardly anybody got to see him play. He just happened to fall into the Knicks lap even though they originally wanted D'Angelo.

That just means they're fukking stupid

 

[JackRoss]

Trade for Brooke Lopez like 5 years too late brehs

 

[Houston911]

Don't understand what people are complaining about.This is a great trade for both teams....Lakers clearing cap space and acquiring 1st rd picks......nets getting a young talent.......Mozkov's contract is a non issue...the nets are under the cap,and in no position to make a deep playoff run.Mozkov's contract will help the nets reach the nba cap minimum.

You said picks, as in plural

They got one pick at the end of the first round

Deng should have moved before mozgov

He's older and makes more money

 

[KOBE]

He doesn't have superstar potential, but he does have potential, the Laker fans were saying he was the next Curry though

He's Felton at best.

 

[Captain Crunch]

The player you want said he wants to play with DLo, yet you move DLo, great move Lakers.

 

[duckbutta]

I disagree. I think the Lakers win this trade for the simple fact that they unloaded that TERRIBLE mosgov contract.

The lakers shouldn't get credit for unloading a terrible contract that they signed and everyone knew was terrible to start with...

If they just don't sign that horrible contract then they still have their number 2 pick to do something else with...

Can't take credit for putting out a fire that you started...
