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

[Sccit]

1) lakers already had magic - and were working to establish a chemistry between him and kareem
2) lakers got byron scott in the deal

kinda not the same situation

BUT WE LOOKIN TO MAKE LONZO OUR MAGIC.....BYRON WAS NOT PROVEN AT THAT POINT. NORM NIXON WAS AN ALL-STAR IN THE MIDST OF HIS PRIME, SO HE WAS ACTUALLY WAY MORE VALUABLE THAN D-RUSS. LOTA FOLKS QUESTIONED THAT TRADE WHEN IT WENT DOWN .. THESE THE KINDA GAMBLES U GOTA TAKE TO COME UP.

Again, what other team do you see selling 15/5 SOLID shooters before their third year off as a salary dump?

a salary dump is a salary dump - no need to try and gas it up

much MUCH worse contracts have been moved and will be moved in the future. shyt, if LA was going full win-now mode - then they could've sold off their future picks like any reasonable team would. and don't even front like brookyln would ONLY take russell. brooklyn had been trying to move lopez for the past 3 seasons. they would've taken zubac and been damned happy about it too

even if you do land paul george, you're gonna be looking for shooters anyways

you aint gotta defend stupid fukking deals just because its your team

do yal defend the nash shyt? why defend this

What other team has been told outright that Paul George wants to play for them and only them?

And as much as I like D'Lo he was never a solid shooter, even his most die hard fans will say he was streaky as fukk.

And you're out of your fukking mind think Brooklyn was going to take on Mozgov's contract and send out a pick in this years draft for Clarkson or Randle.

magic was on the team already - the trade was to make pieces you already had work
byron was a top 5 pick, you didn't get shyt in this trade. you gave away the top 5 pick
nixon was replaced the moment you picked up magic regardless

Brooklyn was gonna take Lance Stephenson and a conditional pick dude has been in trade rumors for years now. don't act like marks has been fighting people off trying to hold on to brook lopez

and what rookie isn't streaky

yal just trying to shyt on the kid now as damage control and its disgusting. his biggest issues aside from general immaturity was that he was stuck with senile mamba, had to put up with that dumbass byron scott, and was stuck pretending to be a pg the same way oladipo and lavine were because people think that a hot pass every once in a while means that you can run an offense and not need anyone to set him up for a change...

even if PG does show up, LA is following a knicks blueprint more than anything else

how you gonna match two players that ain't even on the team yet?

plus LA was just trying to trade the #2 to Sacramento for the 5 and 10 - your own FO ain't even set on Lonzo like that

cart waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in front of the horse, and magic is showing his hand. you think other teams ain't taking advantage of that?

I DOUBT LAKERS WERE DOIN THAT SAC TRADE .. THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET MOZGOV OFF THE BOOKS. BROOK BEIN UNDERRATED TOO, ESPECIALLY AS AN EXPIRING.

we don't deserve shyt if we only go by what @CantStop @Sccit and some other people say

 

[Sccit]

I KNEW D-RUSS WAS A HOECAKE WHEN I SEEN THIS

I STRUGGLED CONVINCIN MYSELF THAT HE WOULD EVENTUALLY STOP BEIN CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH AS DWIGHT ONCE HE GREW UP

THE FEW GAME WINNERS AND BIG SCORIN NIGHTS HELPED ME STAY OPTIMISTIC, BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE I KNEW HE WASNT THE ONE

I assume this means the Nets are soon to be worth watching again?
