:dead: @ How quickly you've turned on Russell, you told me he was a superstar, meanwhile @Poitier and I were saying Manu type. I liked Russell when he was a Laker, I do not like the idea of trading guys on their rookie deals simply for caproom.
Manu type? You see any scenario in where D'Angelo shoots 45% from the field for his career? I don't know man, I just see him as an inefficient wing :ld:

a 19 year old who averages 15.5 - 5 - 3.5 in the NBA = "aint shyt" and isnt worth the #27 pick?:gucci:

like... dude could have atleast explained himself
More like taking on Mozgov's albatross contract and giving up yet another pick, isnt worth whatever upside D'Angelo might have.

The notion of him as some sort of top level superstar or future hall of famer is definitely only passed around in select Laker fan circles.

We all know the end game for the Lakers with this trade but they better hope they get someone else with George cause him alone wont be enough to be among the elite in the West. If Russell goes out and shines though and Lonzo struggles best believe the vultures will be out in full force for Magic and Rob's throats.

:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol: No he can't. Less than 15 a night for a WOAT Lakers team don't mean you're averaging 30 a night for the Warriors breh

DLO can definitely be a 18-20ppg guy with good efficiency and passing. Sure his defense will likely stay bad, but a 2 guard with that type of offense is a 2nd at worst 3rd option on a contender.

Lakers can trade Lopez's expiring contract before the end of next season.......Lopez,Zubak & two 1st rd picks for D.Cousins :mjgrin:

Sign Lebron,George,then Cousins,in that order.

G-Ball
G-George
C-Cousins
F-Randle
F-James
6-Clarkson
7-Ingram
8-Mid level exception
9-Veteran minimum
10-2018 1st rd pick(top 5)
11-2017 1st rd pick(27)
12-2017 1st rd pick(28)

Lakers could start Clark or Randle,or make a trade for a SG.

Lakers would have plenty of assets to make moves.

fukk the CBA huh. No salary cap rules apply huh.
