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

[Jesus Is Lord]

Don't trade Randle.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

If Lonzo looks worse than DLO year one

Then Magic deserved EJ has a son

 

[agpxknt]

But forreel tho this is a win for the Nets. The fire is lit inside of Russell, I like Caris and Rondae
billy king is a fukking idiot

 

[Mic-Nificent]

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

I keep telling nikkas Magic did NOT like D'Angelo. Magic and Byron are boys and there had been talk since day one that D'Angelo had maturity issues. I don't think they questioned his talent, Magic just thought he was immature and kind of lazy.

 

[thelonious21]

This exact thing happened with Kyrie though

Kyrie was injured tho...
And STILL!! from day 1 that nikka was better than Dlo stop it slime

He's Felton at best.

Only thing Booker has on Russell is scoring and I wouldn't really say it's some huge gap between the two. Hell, as of now Russell is the one scoring more efficiently and more within the team than Booker.

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...

Magic didn't sign shyt, it was Jim/mitch fukking up.

It was a mistake, but you eventually have to try and cut your massive L and go on from there. From that simple standpoint they do deserve credit. They know there are a few point guards in this draft that have a higher ceiling than Russell and had to sacrifice.

Do you guys realize that if the Lakers kept Mozgov (and Deng) they are in a position in where it might cost them signing another A+ free agent on top of Paul George?

fukk that, I think it was a GREAT move for what it can bring short term.

 

[the artist known az]

LWO complains about Jim Buss & Kupchak for years

New regime gets rid of horrible overpriced free agent that they cried about & an overrated #2 pick & LWO complains about that

Did yall forget what winning was like that quick?

 

[Liquid]

It's not even draft night yet, take it easy

[I.AM.PIFF]

Magic a savage....Had this snitch sitting next to him watching prospects working out thinking he was part of the future. Like he was an the #1 player on the team


Behind close doors

I wouldn't even give up a bag of Doritos to get Dunn fakkit

 

[West Coast Avenger]

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

c'mon bruh...it was the over zealous laker fans that did that but either way I'm not liking this trade....guess will just have to see what Magic has in store?....

 

[KOBE]

That wasnt me.

Not blaming magic for the bad contract...I am blaming him for making this deal right now though when he could have made it any time later...

I'm not the biggest Russel stan but I'm also not into giving up on number 2 picks...

Magic has been on the job 6 months and he already tossing out lottery picks on a whim...
