Lakers reportedly agree to send D’Lo, picks to Brooklyn for DFS

[bison]

Per shams:

“ BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed on a trade sending D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton, sources told ESPN.”

I really like this. Addresses the need for a defensive wing while giving up D’Lo’s expiring and not losing any first round picks in the process. Rob Pelinka redemption era begins today!

[Full Court]

Stacked. No excuses.


The question is, who's going to be the scapegoat now if LeBronie drags his team down for the fifth year in a row?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Stacked. Because they added two roleplayers? You post too much bs, makes it easy to disregard everything you say.

[Neal Romer]

I guess given Vanderbilt's injury uncertainty this makes sense, but if it's the only move they make I dont think it's nearly enough. They didnt give up any firsts which is good, but theyre now down to basically one salary bullet in the chamber.

Let's hope someone out there has an interest in Gabe Vincent and a bunch of firsts.

Is that supposed to be new? Posters like that remaining unchecked for years is why this place will never be a serious medium for discussion.

Nothing bright about the Nets since they moved to Brooklyn. Last time Nets won 50 games and was a contender? Jason Kidd was a player and not a HC.

Actually the redneck jizzrag (or the fat merman? I forget which is which) actually has a point. D’Lo has been lebrons scapegoat for the past two early playoff exits. So who is the scapegoat now?


It’s not AD. AD is already a better player than Lebron so there’s no use in punching up for a scapegoat.

It’s not Austin reaves. Austin is not only emerging as a lowkey all star, but he actually bails out LeBron in clutch situations so we can’t blame him.


It’s not JJ Reddick. JJ was lebrons personal selection as a coach so LeBron cannot scapegoat him.


All the other guys like gabe, knecht, cam and all the injured guys play too small a role to be lebrons personal scapegoat


That only leaves one guy: Rui Hachimura.

Now believe this: if rui gets moved in a deal to get AD a backup big and an additional spark plug guard, the lakers are STACKED. It’s officially NO EXCUSES for LeBron. He better hope rui is still on the team after the trade deadline because otherwise lebron will finally have no one to blame but himself.

You must not know what "stacked" means. How many 20 point scorers? How many Allstars? How many will be 1st or second team AllNBA? All Defense? Words have meanings.

Russell was the third.

Reaves was the borderline. Top ten at his position in voting. Of course he didn't make it on the team because there's no way they were giving the Lakers three spots.

You should know this as for as much as you claim to follow basketball.

Well ok.

At some point Isaiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman, Chauncey Billups, Sheed, and Ben Wallace were on the Detroit Pistons. Does this make them stacked?

Of course he is. Cheating is wrong, sure, so he's not a sympathetic figure but any man would be mad at a supposed friend that secretly videotaped them admitting something and then revealing it so that they lose their future wife. I doubt any teammate since has trusted Russell and a lot of players would absolutely not want him around.

* was an allstar......5 whole seasons ago. Way to live on an outdated rep. And he isn't even on the roster any longer, why is he even part of your post? And Reeves isn't a damn borderline allstar lol which one of the 9 guys in front of him, better yet which 5 in front of him in voting will he realistically pass....ever? Lay off the cheese my man.

Lol are you even serious? I said the Lakers were stacked already before the trade. You took issue with that, so I pointed out that they had 3 all stars. And yes, ALL THREE were playing with the Lakers as of last week - unlike the ancient Pistons you brought up.

And now that they traded Russell, they're even better on paper than they were before. Even though they're now only a TWO all star team. Comprende?

I forgot about Mark Aguirre. Imagine bringing a 29.5 ppg SF coming off the bench. Before my time if I'm being honest but I imagine it would be like if Dumars never messed up taking Darko over Melo.

A couple weeks ago there was a discussion about funny nicknames for players on basketball-reference. One of Aguirre's nicknames on there is "Elephant Drawers." :lol

And we haven't addressed the subvert of Tayshawn Prince. They might be able to work him with power but Tatum stayed perimeter the defense of Tayshawn Prince world give him and/or Brown problems.

Whichever team lebron would go to, he elevates them to become stacked. It's a tiresome never-ending story.

The Lakers need 3 and D guys. They are a poor defensive and poor shooting team.

Even Lakers fans who don't like Lebron were sick of DLo. Despite a fair amount of talent, he's not a winning player.

[ILLsmak]

In a lot of ways, from what I've seen of DLo, he is a bummy with way more value than he deserves to have. I think if anything LA just didn't wanna get rid of him outright. They have prol been shopping him under the table for awhile. Be interesting to see how this works out.

Nobody was declaring him a first option on a championship team, but you're delusional if you can't see that he provided a huge offensive punch off the bench. He won multiple games for the Lakers by going off in 4th quarters when Lebron and AD went silent.

For someone who claims to be a student of the game, you should have been able to observe this for yourself.

You're not very intelligent, are you? You definitely sound triggered though. :lol

A super team is labeled as such based on its potential - not it's performance. If you went strictly by performance, every team that ever won a championship would be a super team. But no, we call them super teams because they are stacked with talent. You know, like the 2021-2022 Lakers. Which couldn't even make the play-in.

Here's a fun fact for you: did you know that Lebron is the only superstar in the history of the sport to lead a super team to the lottery? Don't blame me because your hero underachieves.

Truth hurts. You better learn to deal with it.
