Dlo better play with a fukking chip on his shoulder the entire year. He has no excuse to average more than 18 a game with a team with no big scorers like Brooklyn

He's Felton at best.
:mjlol:

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...

Exactly

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.

NBA GM'ing 101 huh?:mjlol:




"a 19 year old with maturity issues?" :picard:

Say it isnt SO!:damn:
Quick lets get him out of here before he turns 21 and its too late":hhh:

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...
There's no guarantee that BK takes this contract if they don't get DLo now. They want to start the season with him as their core in the backcourt. There also no guarantee that another team won't take up that cap space and leave Lakers holding their dikk in they hand wishing they made the move earlier. It's not a league to procrastinate in. shyt changes way too fast to waste pondering. If the goal is to dump the contract and you can afford to lose a player to do it, then don't miss out on the opportunity because you once you got what you wanted, you decided "maybe I can get more".
