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

[Art Barr]

Randle doesn't have the wingspan of Draymond...without their elite DEF, Warriors would be an updated version of mid-2000s Suns...and Draymond anchors that def, in which Randle does not have the ability to do bc of his t-rex arms

If all goes right, Ball could be a 12-8-5 player as a rookie. I see Jason Kidd in him. The Lakers will need him to be able to shoot at a 45% clip tho.

Ingram does possess Durant like traits, and he did improve as a rook. Durant said himself it's like looking in the mirror watching Ingram. Ingram's ceiling to me is 27-7-3 on decent %s (47-82-36).

Ball is nowhere near as nice as Kidd at cal, breh.
Nor was Kidd getting bodied and embarrassed by his contemporaries.
Kidd was looking better than others who were touted similar to him.

There's no way in hell the people comparing Russell to Steph and Klay have seen that kid play.

D'Lo's stats are deceiving, he was a streaky shooter. He'd have a couple of games where he was lights out and then a couple of games where he'd miss damn near every open shot.

Nobody thought Curry would Be the shyt either, the Suns can win the next 5 Championships but we don't know yet

In a thread full of shyt this is the most doo doo

No they can't. And we do know this

How you gonna be this high at 10 in the morning?

I never understood some Laker fans love for Russell. His ceiling is 6th man/energy guy off da bench. Son wasn't gonna be a allstar leading da Lakers to multiple titles.

Dengs deal is worse than


Dengs deal is worse

Lakers should have traded D'Angelo next summer during a weak pg draft

They don't need cap room this summer

The Mozgov deal was probably worse IMO.

Mozgov cannot play in this NBA today. Deng at the very least can hit shots and play some defense on some guys. Mozgov is worthless out there today.

So you saw Curry being a 2X MVP and leading his team to 73-9??yl you full of King Sized shyt breh



Act like KD or Steph can't get injured and leave the door wide open for other teams brehs, anything is possible. You saw the 2016 NBA finals

This is the same fanbase who hyped Randle as a Karl Malone and Charles Barkley hybrid.

 

[John Reena]

D'Angelo has shown NO inclination talent wise or the maturity Steph had shown in his arrival to the NBA. U didn't reports of Steph half assing, being BEGGED to fukkin WORKOUT, secretly taping teammates, dumb/silly antics on da court. Steph only knock was his health! Comparing Steph to Russell is like comparing Chef Boyardee to da finest Italian restaurants in NY.

 

[Kairi Irving]

Nikka gon wish they never traded DLo to make room for PG13 who in turn will entice LeBron to come join. when Brons there you already know Banana Boat Gang is happening. Remember this Brehs, remember this ...Thread gon look like Mike Korzemba video.


And I'm not a DLo fan

Brooke Lopez averaged 20ppg last year. The Lakers literally shipped out an erratic, underwhelming Shooting Guard and replaced him with a Certified Center that can go and give you 30. Plus, they managed to get rid of Moz's contract and free up the spot at Shooting Guard for a run at Paul George. Imagine the Pick and Rolls from Lonzo to Lopez...

 

[John Reena]

This is the same fanbase who hyped Randle as a Karl Malone and Charles Barkley hybrid.

Honestly, if I was Magic, da only ppl I'd keep is Randle, Nance, and Walton. I'd ship da rest of them nikkaz

Nance and Randle the only youngins on the roster who play hard and actually tryna get better instead of just living that LA lifestyle

The Suns didn't have anyone close to as good as KD to pick up the slack. Take Draymond off the team and The Warriors still win in 5 or 6. Take KD off and they lose in 5 or 6...4 is a stretch, but its possible

He broke Kidds NCAA assist record and has the record for most assists EVER in a season

 

[G-Zeus]

Byron Scott said they had to beg this nikka d'angelo to workout....nikka flat out said he is 21 but sometimes I think he's 12

Dude was not focused on bball at all. nikka was living the LA life and got the wake up call. HELLO BROOKLYN.

That nikka clarkson is next....everysingle time I see him he coming out of some restaurant in weho with a new model on his arm....Hailey, Chanel, Kendall with a on his face. Magic getting rid of these nikkas

and he knows off experience the outcome of the LA life... still has the mark to show for it..
