It’s not Hams choice. Dlo is a known complainer, the FO doesn’t want to alienate a guy they want to re-sign and traded assets for. All Ham can do is take him out quickly if he’s struggling. I think he should do better at home.
Gamble championship opportunity with closing window on temper tantrum brehs.. :heh:

Kind of in a tough spot because you gotta resign him otherwise you're not gonna lose him for nothing. Prob gotta sign and down the road trade again. He's come thru in the other series hopefully will find his game in these home games
You got bench players HUNTING him and calling him out.. His defense aint gonna get better at home, he is food on court :mjlol:

I looked at his game logs when DLO play good they win and when he play bad they lost. If they want any chance of winning this series, they gotta get him going.

I think De'Angelo Russell just needs to play better offensively. The problem is that if they bench him completely you lose a scorer. I would just put him on a tight leash and if he plays really badly then yank him. But he will never be great for you defensively.

Allergic to stopping the ball like he starts the game in foul trouble. He needs to hit his shots to offset the other side. He's their Poole. They need him to score.

At least we’re smarter than them idiots in the bay. Not rushing to resign him during the season

Players beg us to sign them not the other way around
That Poole signing was an overreaction. No way he should have been signed for that much.

If that shot ain't falling, he is totally useless.

At least Draymond brings more to the table

So that's why Mike Malone made those comments about D Lo :ohhh:

I think you underestimate how horrible Pooles defense is.
Dlo defense is weak but at least it looks like he belongs in the league. Poole defends like he's jogging out there on the beach.

No. I agree Poole is worst but for the Lakers he's their weak spot on an already putrid transition defensive team.
