And the Lakers are paying Lebron and Bronny 54M a season .
lol this has zero to do with my postBut if Russ was playing like a legit 3rd star it would lessened the issues for the roster imbalance.
Russ was ok on the Clipps cause he was coming off the bench and didnt cost much.
A lot of people feared Russ not working, but thought it would be more of a playoff issue. No one was really expecting him to be a washed regular season player. Ironically, kind of like DLO we thought he'd do well enough to carry us in the regular season for stretches.
And as the late great Kobe Bryant said...not everybody built to handle that Lakers pressure. Demar must be worried about being washed in a year
Im sure Lakers twitter would have been as merciful to him as they were with Russ if he played bad.I forgot DeMar deals with depression
that first klutch hit article from that cuck dave mcmenamin in december would put him on suicide watch. good idea to not come here
LaMarcus just didn't wanna be a Klutch scapegoat brehBesides lebron who's the last all star to come to the Lakers in free agency
nba is becoming like the nhl - players just want to go to a quiet place and earn their bread - not deal with all the media/fan pressure bsBesides lebron who's the last all star to come to the Lakers in free agency
Awful overstating it. He was bad in last year's playoffs though. Clippers would honestly probably keep him but he wants to dip because eh wants a bigger role. He's going to leave and it's going to be all love.Was awful for the Clippers as well.. dude was benched just like he was as a Laker, averaged 6 PPG in the playoffs, and now they're getting rid of him after a season and a half too. Did they also do him wrong?
Carmelo didnt want to deal with Brian Windhorst saying he was the problem.LaMarcus just didn't wanna be a Klutch scapegoat breh
Nah..and Im not sure that trade works.would yall take lavine if he came wit a pick and lonzo and only cost us dlo and min contracts?
Why don't players want to play for the Lakers.nba is becoming like the nhl - players just want to go to a quiet place and earn their bread - not deal with all the media/fan pressure bs
He averaged 6 PPG on 34 TS% in the playoffs. His regular season numbers were worse as a Clipper than they were as a Laker. He was definitely a bad player but it was less catastrophic for them because he was a bad player on a minimum contract instead of a bad player making 47 million per year. It was easier to play cats like Amir Coffey over him when he's not on a max.Awful overstating it. He was bad in last year's playoffs though.

There won't be a Klutch hatchet man (mcmennamin) calling Russ a vampire and all kinds of other stupid shyt.
Yeah it's apple to oranges because the role ended up being very different.He averaged 6 PPG on 34 TS% in the playoffs. His regular season numbers were worse as a Clipper than they were as a Laker. He was definitely a bad player but it was less catastrophic for them because he was a bad player on a minimum contract instead of a bad player making 47 million per year. It was easier to play cats like Amir Coffey over him when he's not on a max.
Also not tryna pile on Russ but that's likely a spin so Russ could save face.. Just like the Clippers said Russ suggested to come off the bench when later reporting revealed he was not happy to make that move. Clippers should and likely do view Dunn as an upgrade over him which is they don't care to keep him.
