King Darious My Take: I've come to the conclusion that my fellow Lakers fans lose the ability to reason whenever the free agency period approaches. Oh, how all of you will be disappointed when no one comes here. I suggest you just enjoy the awesome young core (Ball-Hart-Ingram-Kuzma-Randle) we have and let the rest take care of itself. Why ponder (and waste time) on topics or players that potentially might want to come here? That's not optimal. It's kind of tiring to see this happen for the sixth time in a row: Media toys with us Lakers fans. The fans build their hopes up sky high and, thereafter, see them come crashing down on July 10th. One thing and only thing one is true: a change in management and an awesome young core puts us closer to acquiring the big name free agents, but nothing is guaranteed. There are front offices and young cores better then that of the Lakers and free agents might also want to choose them. Specific players: Lebron has never indicated that he'd want to play for the Lakers. If he has, please provide me a reliable source. Kawhi is currently playing for the Spurs. There is no indication that he, or the Spurs, have talked about trades. Again, if there is a competent source that says otherwise, talk to me. Moreover, a fact (amidst a bunch of hogwash rumors and speculation) is that Greg Popovich is well known to never trade players away to teams present in the same conference as the Spurs. That's a fact. Lastly, ask yourself, when Kobe demanded a trade in 2007, did we trade him away? I'll digress. Klay Thompson will retire a Warrior. If you haven't heard, he's going to be signing an extension with the Warriors shortly. Boogie Cousins = too much risk. Now, Paul George: He said he would "love" to play for his hometown. He wished the Lakers would've traded for him last year. So, there is a possibility that this specific all star joins us. However, many things have changed in a year. Other young, better teams have emerged. Who knows what Paul decides to do. I personally believe he'll go to the Sixers. Others believe he'll come to us. But, the fact is we don't know. Another fact. Things have changed since last year. We simply don't know. So, I suggest that my fellow Lakers fans enjoy the young core and stop with this nonsense of worrying about decisions not under our control. It makes us look weak. It makes us look like we don't have confidence in our existing young core. It makes us feel like hopeless asking for some help from the outside.
Gotta stay healthy and his coach needs to give him over 30 minutes. Dude is averaging 21,5 and 7 per 36. He's clearly an All-Star once everything goes right.
@@peterbryan3971 What type of comment is this? I know I’m 2 years late and Dlo developed into an allstar while Kuzma is a role player, but that was honestly a bad take. Since the moment Dlo stepped into the league, he wasn’t afraid of the big moment, most of his best moments take place in the clutch. At this point in their careers’ Dlo is the best player, that comment didn’t age well...
His game resembles James Harden so much it’s insane. He’s always got the green light to be a scorer but he has that unexpected amazing passing skill that can actually be called elite. It looks like he can switch between being a pure scorer to a playmaker with incredible passing. At least, he reminds me a lot of James Harden.
bob saget Josh Hart averaged 6 less points and 2 less assists lmao in both of their rookie seasons and 0.6 less assists lmao. Dlo is a better scorer by a lot a better passer a more capable rebounder not to mention his ceiling is way higher and he is younger aswell.
em be hart is a better rebounder and was averaging a double double before he got hurt and the Lakers were clicking before that too because he was starting at sg, hart has grit and toughness plays defense, defense is something d slow doesn't know nothing about
I've always rooted for this guy, he's a two but can be a 1 on pick and roll situations. More of like how Harden and Capella run theirs. Imagine how awesome it is to watch this guy on Mike D'Antoni's offense. Wew, good luck D'Lo
Still hate Magic for giving up on Russell so fast. If he’s your 2nd or 3rd best player you can really compete, would like to see him in Philly playing off ball with Ben Simmons. Smooth game.
Great job predicting the future 2018-19: -only missed one game -Made an allstar team while averaging 21 points and 7 assists -Led the Nets to the sixth seed
Give it some time, players are gonna be lining up to play with D-Lo. Before Lin's injury, Lin and Russell was suppose to be the Nets' backcourt. Imagine the points those two could have put up together.
Nets are gonna make the playoffs next year, Mark my words, especially if they get parker/Gordon them boys can cook, if they want to tank 2019 starting they get all their picks back. They should make a run. Dinwiddie PG Russel SG Jefferson/Levert Parker PF Allen C
Not necessarily explosiveness so much , a little yes , but , finishing with his off hand , adding strength , and his footwork and he'll be fine. They can't guard him already despite those flaws I just mentioned.
watching his game is like no other in the league, something about the passes he makes, he has complete control of the ball idk hes just inspiring to watch
Russell’s shot release is one of my favorites in the NBA. It’s so smooth and just butter when it goes in. I wish lakers could’ve kept him along side lonzo because he’s just a pure shooter and has good passing skills. The thing about Russell though is that he’s just slow and lakers want to play a faster tempo. Whereas russell plays a more controlled tempo. Guarantee in 2-3 years this guy is gonna be an all star
I never knew that He was actually a solid player Who can be a spot up shooter or shoot of the screen and create his own shot He's also wonderful passer with vision better than London balls Lakers shouldn't traded he could've helped lebron
look at the minutes they played Lonzo played 35 minutes a game while Russell only played 27 lmao. Check their per 36 stats and Russell gets more points responsible for compared to Lonzo lol plus isnt it funny how Lonzo's per 36 is identical to his original stats cause its just sad
Nets wouldn’t have done the trade unless it was either DLo or BI. But if they didn’t do that trade all together they could’ve had a core of DLo, Tatum, BI, Kuz and Randle, although I like the roster more now
you can tell hes main strength is on the left side of the court.. yes ik hes a lefty but as a primary ball handler u should utilize both hands...he still a baller tho
JA was so much more comfortable with D’lo. Made him feel like the superstar he is. KD and Kyrie might be necessary pressure for his growth but I feel like he doesn’t enjoy himself as much anymore
I was hoping a James Harden like season when he got traded to the rockets. Anyway I love the way the franchise is going. Im a huge nets fan. We cant just take a break with our pgs. Starting when dwill was here.
Underrated passer. Pre draft people knew this kid could pass but as he grows a player it seems he is known more as a score first point and he somewhat is but he is a really gifted passer as well
I feel like the Lakers did D Lo dirty by trading him...him and Zo could’ve co existed for sure. That being said the Lakers did end up with Kuzma so I guess it worked out

I just hope he is on a team that can boost his overall to the 90s
Showtime Lakers 2.0 well Lebron came
@@showtimelakers1795 L
All star
Guy is crafty as heck.
When Russell plays fearless he's good. Can't wait to watch Nets 18-19 season
Leon Liang this aged well
Gotta stay healthy and his coach needs to give him over 30 minutes. Dude is averaging 21,5 and 7 per 36. He's clearly an All-Star once everything goes right.
him and allen have great chemistry
People dont understand how good this man is gonna be. Nets got a good one rip my lakers :,(
Desmond Turner He’s a smaller Carmelo that’s all he’ll ever be
dusty CC Carmelo had a pretty darn good career
Desmond Turner lakers got kuzma whos much better and taller and willing to take last shots
peter bryan sumabat D angelo Russell plays better than kuzma, although being lower is much better than kuzma

It's just something about D Lo's style of playing that makes it so entertaining to watch.
yea hes smooth, the only thing holding him back is his explosiveness compared to other nba point gaurds
Bust
His shot is so smoove

Steph Curry the 2x FRAUD he should do step back from now on
Lakers should have kept him and put him at sg but nobody listens to me 😂😂
Willie Dynomite hell nah hart > Russell
bob saget in what way pls? HAHAHAHA
em be in about every single way lol d slow is only slightly better at scoring right now than hart, hart does everything else better
bob saget Josh Hart averaged 6 less points and 2 less assists lmao in both of their rookie seasons and 0.6 less assists lmao. Dlo is a better scorer by a lot a better passer a more capable rebounder not to mention his ceiling is way higher and he is younger aswell.

Guys once he is an all star he will get the star treatment meaning even more points and he’s only 22 it’s crazy
I like that you focus on the other players that aren’t as “appealing” to basketball viewers. I appreciate this kind of work
lol dangelo russell has a big fan base he's one of the more popular players in his draft alone
Not really
Andrew Mariano are you kidding he literally has highlights for every star player and big name in the league.
you all obviously don’t have any common sense.. haha
Facts bro. He does popular and non popular but still fax
I've always rooted for this guy, he's a two but can be a 1 on pick and roll situations. More of like how Harden and Capella run theirs. Imagine how awesome it is to watch this guy on Mike D'Antoni's offense. Wew, good luck D'Lo
REALLY hope he develops into an all star, I really like him and I want him to succeed
if dlo stays healthy and puts in work this off-season he'll be an all star next year💯🙏
Man i forgot how cold d lo is
Still hate Magic for giving up on Russell so fast. If he’s your 2nd or 3rd best player you can really compete, would like to see him in Philly playing off ball with Ben Simmons. Smooth game.
Needs to stay healthy and he’s an easy All Star in the East, gonna lead the Nets to the playoffs if surrounded with a good supporting cast
Great job predicting the future
2018-19:
-only missed one game
-Made an allstar team while averaging 21 points and 7 assists
-Led the Nets to the sixth seed
He's a shooting guard!
Justine Esguerra he def a point he can just score like everyother point gaurd
Yes, despite his passing ability he's a SG with PG vision.
What’s your definition of a shooting guard?
Justine Esguerra whatever he is, his defense sucks donkey balls.
No he’s a PG who can score when he wants to
He’s really crafty but I’d like to see him use his right side some more. He’s already got a pretty deadly pull up.
Randy Tran that pull up is lowkey one of the nastiest in the league
Imagine having him and Devin Booker together 🤭
Give it some time, players are gonna be lining up to play with D-Lo. Before Lin's injury, Lin and Russell was suppose to be the Nets' backcourt. Imagine the points those two could have put up together.

Anto Jabari Parker?
Basketball Never Stops Yes. Would be a super nice fit. Would like to see Him or Aaron Gordon on that team. They would hoop
All Star Next Yr
Isaiah Cousins Hampton in China?
You damn right
Showtime Lakers 2.0 Lonzo will be an All-Star in Lithuania
Over kemba?
Ben MonaLisa Simmons 😂😂😂👍
He’s the poor man’s James Harden. That’s still pretty good!
hes better thanjames harden lol and at defence too :)
lol
facts lmao
I have prettier jumpshot, in fact, prettiest in the NBA.
Cole Lutz I like that comparison
I'm glad you nets fans like him but give him back 😑
Guy’s game got sooo much sauce. He has potential to be bringing in other players to wanting to play with him
So smooooooooooth!
3:47 that pass tho
It’s crazy. Was a laser pass right on point with one hand
D-LO you gotta stay healthy bro..so much potential
If he can stay healthy and if he adds just a little more explosion, he's gonna be elite.
Basketball Never Stops that's what he's going to do in the off-season . Kenny already mentioned this.
rasheed white train to be more explosive? Hope so kuz dats really the key to unlocking his full potential besides consistency and health
Not necessarily explosiveness so much , a little yes , but , finishing with his off hand , adding strength , and his footwork and he'll be fine. They can't guard him already despite those flaws I just mentioned.
he's the next James harden
watching his game is like no other in the league, something about the passes he makes, he has complete control of the ball idk hes just inspiring to watch
Nate Collins you see exactly what I see
What if; now bare with me here. What if D’Lo was on the Cavs with Bron? That would be something..
Cole Lutz ur stupid lol
Cole Lutz one problem Tyronn fucking Lue
Russell’s shot release is one of my favorites in the NBA. It’s so smooth and just butter when it goes in.

That slip pass at 3:48 through traffic was just
I never knew that He was actually a solid player
Who can be a spot up shooter or shoot of the screen and create his own shot
He's also wonderful passer with vision better than London balls
Lakers shouldn't traded he could've helped lebron
He is so fun to watch!!
smh @ Magic and Rob Pelinka for trading Russell
He's better than Lonzo by a mile..
TheMesoPeaks but is he better than Kuzma? because that's what we traded him for
TheMesoPeaks you have got to be kidding. Compare rookie seasons. Don't worry I'll wait.
Kuzma > Russell, hart > Russell
Lopez > Russell
nope.... Lakers would have Kuzma anyway because Brooklyn didnt have Kuzma on the board... Lakers wouldnt have Hart
look at the minutes they played Lonzo played 35 minutes a game while Russell only played 27 lmao. Check their per 36 stats and Russell gets more points responsible for compared to Lonzo lol plus isnt it funny how Lonzo's per 36 is identical to his original stats cause its just sad
his team's reactions are great in this video
Shoulda paired him with Lonzo
he better than lonzo
Glad I found this Channel
What if the Lakers kept him and instead trade JC, Nance Jr and Mozgov to get Lopez and Kuzma. I think Ball and DLo could play together.
Rafihboi Yusop they compliment one another's play style both being able to pass with ease.
Nets wouldn’t have done the trade unless it was either DLo or BI.
But if they didn’t do that trade all together they could’ve had a core of DLo, Tatum, BI, Kuz and Randle, although I like the roster more now
dlo my fav player
I miss my dawg on the LAKERS smfh why pelinka why
shot creating is his greatest strength he needs to play for a coach that will put him in situations where he can go one on one
I miss him
My all-time point guard in GM mode since NBA2K2016
you can tell hes main strength is on the left side of the court.. yes ik hes a lefty but as a primary ball handler u should utilize both hands...he still a baller tho
Still onf my favorite beast in the East let's Get it Nets!!
This guy dropped 40 on Irving, he is a future all star for sure
Heath is his biggest problem has slowed him down 2 years in a row gotta get them knees right
Hope he can stay healthy and improve his speed
Hopefully the Nets keep Dlo, Levert and Allen for the long run, those three have good chemistry on the offensive end
You can tell he used to drive way more this year because he was bigger wish he would drive like this now
Wish he hadn’t gotten injured he possibly could’ve been an allstar
Great passer 🔥
JA was so much more comfortable with D’lo. Made him feel like the superstar he is. KD and Kyrie might be necessary pressure for his growth but I feel like he doesn’t enjoy himself as much anymore
So fluid tho ✔️✔️✔️
The trade paid off for us but DAM I miss dlo he’s great and a bit of a better fit for the lakers imo but Lonzo still got time I believe in him
Bro if dlo gets an above average 3 ball, and it stays consistent... He's gonna destroy
Bro was cold
all-star next year mark my words
Hes very smooth
He got dat 45 degree arc tho
This guy is a star it’s a shame..
His jumper smooth af
I was hoping a James Harden like season when he got traded to the rockets. Anyway I love the way the franchise is going. Im a huge nets fan. We cant just take a break with our pgs. Starting when dwill was here.
He smooth af
damn these passes.. hope he stays healthy
smh i miss this man. magic makin up for it this year but still
Underrated passer. Pre draft people knew this kid could pass but as he grows a player it seems he is known more as a score first point and he somewhat is but he is a really gifted passer as well
He’s up next with a James harden vibe to his game the nba is in good hands with him book and Giannis
I could see dlo n jared allen be like a harden and capela pnr
Best player in the league
Slowest guard in the league 😭😭😭😂
Big facts
Glotaku ! Maybe one day!
Glotaku ! Hell no not even top 20 😂😂
Am I the only one who likes dangelos form a lot ?i try to mimic it sometimes 🤷🏽♂️
i did too
Die hard laker fan , Russell's Def. My favorite Player after the fuckin mamba
Offer Aaron Gordon a max
Make a kemba walker
Lakers really got rid of this man to make space for Lonzo.....
lakers coulda had this man and lebron
3:47 I like that
Next Michael Jordan
Him ingram randle and kuzma with micthell smh magic fucked up
Could you do a Jayson Tatum video!!!!🗣
Next Steph Curry
Poor mans James harden but has the potential to be as good
I feel like the Lakers did D Lo dirty by trading him...him and Zo could’ve co existed for sure. That being said the Lakers did end up with Kuzma so I guess it worked out
Play jus like James Harden but got the potential to play D and better 3pt shoot LA should’ve kept em played em at the 2 SMDH
Chris Ayo he moves better without the ball than Harden does IMO
Timberwolves should get him in exchange for Butler
Lakers could’ve had
PG- Ball
SG- DLo
SF- Ingram
PF- LeBron
C- whoever
Smh DLo may be a snitch but that boy can get buckets
javalee mcgee at center that would have been lit
Make damian lilllard
Omg that pass at 3:50 was sexy
He like a mix of harden and dame
Andrew Vu that's a nice mix
Him with LeBron wouldv been cool
Lakers rcgrets trading
He's 6'6 and only have like 2 or 3 dunks a season
#CBRGANG I mean he is a guard, not a forward. Although he should be dunking more often
Kicktastic he's 6'6...
#CBRGANG yeah he should use it as an advantage
the nets failed to draft a power forward once again
Looking like Reggie Jackson to me
KEMBA WALKER
😊
