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

*takes sip of dis Henn*

I 'member when dudes on here thought that 'Angelo was The Future, and he would bring the Lakers back to glory.

Deep down I think Magic likes Fox over Lonzo.

I think it's Dennis Smith Jr., not Fox.

I'm well aware that it wasn't Magic. Still, the fact that the Lakers are digging themselves out of a hole that was dug last off-season is not progress, it's just an admission that they wasted a whole season of their rebuild

I have no bone to pick with the Lakers, I just want to see someone beat GS

I thought the point of a rebuild was to eventually get better. So how does creating 2 max cap spaces hurt the rebuild? In fact, it advances it.

Treadmill team

Y'all signed mozgov LAST year, so "clearing his cap space" is a long term L no matter if this is a short term positive.

Plus you still have to get rid of Deng's contract, which again, nobody forced the Lakers to sign

And you essentially drafted Brook Lopez with the 2nd pick of the 2015 draft

That's not on Magic.

Really don't understand what there is not to like what Magic has done so far. He NEEDED to dump one of those bad contracts at all costs.

 

[kickz]

Magic blinking first in these trade deals

 

[JackRoss]

Look at it like the stock market.

This is all panic.

Man its done for the Cavs.. They might have next year if they can't ship Love out but that window is done. Cavs gon have to retool something vicious to bring Golden State down

 

[Saint1]

For the 27th fukki pick tho we should've traded for oakafor or some damn youth wtf

Lopez contract expires next year. We have PG13 cap space and a lot of sway to get another star

 

[tremonthustler1]

@tremonthustler1 Didn't I tell you the Nets would be the team to take Mozgov

Worked out that way.

They also got Russell back in the deal, I don't think anyone saw that coming

 

[Premeditated]

Westbrook would be better off the ball. Lonzo can play without the ball in his hands too.

bruh

 

[Darts]

Man it just shows that it's hard to truly evaluate someone outta college. I mean look at this video...Russell was crossing up dudes, getting to the hole with ease, looks kinda fast. But put him against NBA level talent and he looks like he's a 41 year old out there struggling to get past anybody.



Can't really fault the Lakers for taking him based off stuff like this...it just didn't pan out.

 

[LeMAO]

Magic destroying my Lakers franchise in just 1 year

 

[Saint1]

The reason LA is trying to get PG13 this year is so next year they can sign him with Bird rights. That way we can sign him and exceed the cap. Everyone in here is talking shyt on Magic and Rob P but don't know the rules of the game.

 

[Darealtwo1]

You're just very high on DLO for whatever reason. I hope he gets his career together but you seem very high on him just because we drafted him 2nd. Sure he has potential but so does every player in the draft.

WHY TF ARE YOU ACTING LIKE YOU HAVENT HAD D'ANGELAS dikk DOWN YOUR ESOPHAGUS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS

 

[JackRoss]

Brook Lopez been trade bait for like 80 years. Five years too late
