He’s been nonchalant with the Lakers bro. There was one play this season that was shown where he missed a last second wide open layup and that shows me someone who didn’t care, someone who wasn’t motivated to play well for the team and someone who wasnt being professional. I’m not gonna lie and say it was all sunshine and rainbows but his capabilities as a bball player were there but the effort wasn’t which is a crazy thing to say out loud but it’s true
How does a missed layup show you someone who is unprofessional let alone anything else you said? I could’ve just been a missed layup. Even if it was wide open.
Can’t have players like that on a team tryna win a chip. Dlo one of my fav players when he’s hot. WHEN is the thing tho. Haven’t had a solid dlo game since last trade deadline🤷🏽
DLo is 6th man at best. That's why the warriors gave up on him. He asks for too much, plays well for a while but is way too inconsistent. If you've been traded 5+ times in the nba, it just means you're not it.
It’s not LeBron that’s the problem, heh, it’s the team as a whole. LeBron isn’t the main bucket getting anymore either, everyone wants to act like he should be putting up 30 a night. He did that, for years, he’s 40, yes it DOES matter. AD should have been traded long ago. And don’t get me wrong, LeBron the person is a douchebag, he’s a racist, a fake, just a general knob. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s the second best player to ever play the game. *
D-Lo is trash too. Dude is lost in defense like a needle in a haystack. Luckily for him they don't care about it where he is heading and they have no expectation there.
@@cedricessono6158 amen, I’ve wanted him gone for a while. I think AD is an amazing player I just think they could build a better team if you traded his immense value for someone else or possibly two very very good players. With the modern NBA draining threes, I think your money is better spent on a decent protector and then spend more on another sniper.
i’m not gonna believe this is a good trade til dfs nd milton play good in LA too many times good players come to the lakers nd forget how to play basketball entirely 😭😂
i agree blowing it up is the solution trade lebron to warriors, trade AD to a contender and other players where they get picks, i get it's lebron but he's not the same player he once was and AD gets hurt to often
All you guys saying DLo is a scapegoat this and Lebron messed him up that. The fact remains the same, that he is grotesquely inconsistent. And if he can’t play with the STARS it’s doing the TEAM more harm than good. You put him in the starting lineup and you guys complain he needs the ball more. You move him to the bench and let him run the 2nd unit and now he turnover happy. There is no balance with DLo and that is scary for teams trying to win. I will admit he has only had one option to truly thrive and that was in Brooklyn. Other than that teams have asked him to be a shell of himself. He’s better in a setting where there is no pressure and essentially nothing to play for. I’ve been trying to hope him into doing better it just never panned out that way.
Dorian Finney-Smith will be INCAPABLE of being himself playing with LBJ. NOT 1 SF will be able to be themselves. Look at Austin Reeves playing PG. No matter what they do. SF/PF players will have 0 impact on the Lakes with Bron and AD. Looks like PGs gone be a problem too. What a joke lmao
@womar8 if I have zero ball knowledge then u have ZERO KNOWLEDGE. The ONLY reason I mentioned AR is in reference to playing out of position. Considering u missed that. There's NO NEED to say anything further to u. Work on your reading comprehension skills mammal
I'm a athlete myself and had 2 cousins play in the league. Father and son both played. Take your brain dead ass somewhere and report me so my comment can get removed. Lame bot
@ebl8037 NO. he's currently running PG. He's always been a SG. That can guard SFs and PGs. The whole point of what I was saying was everyone is playing out of position. Rui is running SF. Something he only has to do after joining LAL. Reeves playing his best ball because he's facilitating more now. The whole reason EVERYBODY likes AR is for his tweening abilities. Slashing. Most of all. Shooting. Hitting game winners etc. That's literally y everybody likes him. Now playing PG of course his numbers are better. Bro shooting less than half the shots he averaged last year. Moral of the story. Dorian to the LAL means nothing. If anything them not having a TRUE 5 is the biggest issue. AD has been a 4 his entire career. Other than Miami days LeBron has been a SF his whole career. The average PF today is 6ft9/10. Has lbj EVER been able to clamp a PF. Aaron Gordon. Evan Mobley. Giannis. U know the ACTUAL 4 men. LeBron not a SF ruins the roster. Like it always has. When they won 🏆 in the bubble. They had Rondo running point. Miami had D wade and Mario Chalmers and somebody else. Or Kyrie in CLE. Bron at SF is the ONLY way his teams play meaningful basketball
DLO had to go! The boy is just collecting a pay check, liming with his woman he could care less about basketball. Good for him take your money enjoy your life.
Anybody that plays in LA is doing the same thing. They know the Lakers ain't going nowhere, them young men have already checked out🤣🤣🤣🤣. It ain't just Dlo.
Yup!! Certain individuals want it that way😬😶 I’m indifferent, it’s their prerogative !! I just hope a certain laker he seemed “close” to, won’t be too shaken up by the change!!
Hes always been a scapegoat for teams underachieving. His numbers when he gets minutes and is "allowed" to take the reigns is good. D-Lo is that guy in my eyes
That’s true but at the same time D-Lo’s biggest flaw is his inconsistency, when he’s the main guy or the 2nd guy like in Minnesota he’s less inconsistent. He’s been great for us these past few seasons but this season he deserves to be somewhere else where he won’t have to be blamed but also the team gets better.
@@is.that.Mazzi.nobody blame DLo for anything other than what he’s responsible for and that’s how he plays he’s inconsistent simple and lakers kinda had enough of it
Russell isn't third option. He's ball dominant, so at worse he's a number 2 or a 1B. Now that's not for a championship level team, but a team that can get you a 6-8 slot. He doesn't fit as a spot up shooter on a team built like it's 2010.
Honestly D-Lo has been a terrific player on every team that his either been the 2nd/3rd star, he balled out previously at the Nets, Timberwolves and Warriors but your right on the money about being him not being spot up shooter
@@namos3369all those teams got better after dlo got traded. The nets ended getting kyrie and kd. The warriors won a championship a season and a half later and the wolves had their best playoff run in 20 years the next season after he got traded
@@jj10176 the nets blew up the young core for a "win now" situation once again, and it went nowhere (early playoffs exit); the warriors stars were all injuried during dlo's time there, it wasn't a secret that he was signed to be used for a trade later; and the wolves got WAY WORSE with the gobert trade, for it to get "better" sacrificing Dlo in the next trade.
@@bdelsouza the wolves didn’t get worse with gobert trade the wolves trading kat for Randle made them worse. The gsw wouldn’t have worked with dlo he’s a bad defender and just isn’t a winning player Wiggins was perfect because he has more size and can actually guard someone. That nets young core wasn’t going anywhere it was just a nice to team to watch
He's too inconsistent. That's literally been his thing for his whole career. So yes he will keep doing it. He will play well for a while then be trash the next. Being back on the nets won't change that at all.
4:50 Some of it is his fault?! .... the man has been inconsistent. This whole lakers run, especially on defense and in the playoffs, has been wondering where everything is going.
I actually liked dlo on the Lakers but he was just checked out. When he first returned to LA he seemed genuinely happy to be back, but it’s completely faded away now. I think he’s still got some great basketball in him but not with the Lakers
1. D'Lo isn't taking a buyout. Players who make over the NTMLE can't sign with teams over the first apron (which is like every contender) after getting bought out. There's just no reason for him to give back money to go on the market. Lottery teams don't want or need him, and contending teams can't sign him if they want him. 2. Pelinka's 30 games quote is often wildly taken out of context. Buyers need sellers, and November and December trades are exceedingly rare. Contextually, the Lakers could have coveted DFS for months, but if the Nets aren't selling, the Lakers are SOL. Sure, any team can overpay, but they shouldn't. Waiting allowed the Lakers to only trade second round picks. Additionally, 30 games is post-December 15 when most free agents signed during the summer are eligible to be traded AND more than one veteran minimum player can be aggregated into trades which helps for salary matching.
To me it doesn't fully move the needle players still have to stay healthy or show up and play when their name is called they definitely keep their team in the playoff run at best
It's something more to this D'Angelo situation because he just looked to have gave up and uninterested. How would u feel if being targeted for every problem that's Lakers. The Lakers are mess in whole not one guy, watch the bottom fall out for Lakers and who will be to blame? True leaders take the blame, smh
Honestly, he's a good player in my opinion. I think he's a player that needs to play in system in order to be successful. Mainly to make up for his lack of defense and give more order to his play style. LA lacked defense, while having a good amount offense. Bron n Brow 2 piece and kenek and Reaves is more than enough
I would trade LBJ and AD for picks, young talent and expiring contracts, and start the rebuild while we still can! I don't think we can win another title with those two, so it's best to get a jump start on the rebuild before you lose that chance and it sets the rebuild back for years!
Lakers traded declining offense , to good level perimeter defense play which they need . Yall dont understand this trade if you think its about scoring
At the end of the day it’s up to D’lo to be better not us the fan! Not the front office neither. You can see it on most of these players faces they only there for the check! That’s it. The only people that’s still wants a better career is Lebron, curry, and maybe KD! Those are really the only players that still want to win more rings. Everybody else is there for the check.
We not gonna act like trading more played will solve the issue, We all know that if they trade Lebron they could get better players but they will never do such because money makes the world go round
We got to stop talking about his potential. At some point you are what you are....Russell is talent....but too inconsistent for a tram to ever rely on.
Imagine trading the guy with the highest plus minus on the team while ignoring the man with the Lelowest on the team hopefully Dlo has an allstar outing
LeBron lead the team in plus minus last season and will this year before the year is over.I love how LeBron haters suddenly pay attention to plus minus when it's not in his favor
Russ deliberately plays "" basketball to lower his value. He wanted to play for LAL from the beginning, because of Kobe. His idol. He played well at the beginning of his career, transfer. Then he played well again, the transfer and now he must have heard a rumor that they were going to give him away somewhere to "help" Mr. Craying Queen. edit I'm already sick with a narrative that D'Lo should be traded for some D player where they have a guy for 50 million, a 40-year-old whose only task is to STATPADDING and stand under the basket waiting for a rebound. To improve the overall performance of the Lakers, it is the transfer of LBJ for a pack of peanuts or the purchase of his contract and immediate retirement. I'm tired of this trickster and, despite his age, the players play under his dictation, as if his force shots and referees' whistles favoring him mattered in his "GOUT" debate. MJ and Kobe are players you never race, too many fake rings and weak opponents. Now that he has to fight against 50+, as it happens in the West, he has a quick vacation. Bravo.
You lost me at "the Lakers have a decent team" lol. Lebron is cooked, guy doesn't even attempt to play defense most nights. AD tries, but is rarely full effort, and the role players are sporadic at best. Its not a decent team, they are a bad team with a bad roster that is capable of beating most teams once in a blue moon
This is cap if the Lakers were serious why did they draft LeBron son and why is Quincy O. Not on the team anymore or not playing WE know the history of "LEWHINE BLAMES" and his team/ teammates Good for D LO
You can win now and later. Shit look at what sabonis did to foxs game. Now imagine AD who is more versatile and a way better defender. The only problem I see is that $150M will be tied to 3 players and fox getting paid like a max player but he has only 1 all star(someone got hurt) and no all NBA teams. 1 playoff run and not proven.
lol relax with the title. You’re acting like DFS is a savior and we rug pulled the league. We are still mediocre as a team and not built to even come out the west
Dude if you’re ‘feeling bad’ for NBA players lend me a couple dubs cuz aint nothing to feel bad about for them they cry they asses in million dollar mansions and luxury, cry me a river. The other thing I cant wait for DLO to pop off in Brooklyn and ‘DoDo’ is total Doo Doo to y’all and y’all start crying to trade him back lmao history repeats itself…
Man y'all out talking like Dlo is done. It's crazy how people really don't see that these players don't want to play for Lefraud, and Dlo wasn't giving his best because he's been ready to leave to get away from that narcissistic. Dlo is going to the Nets and ball out, just every other player that leaves that dead franchise. I mean they scraped the bottom of the barrel for a trade, and it still won't help.🤣 A role player is only as good as it's leader, and their leader is a fraud.😆
U sound like an uneducated hater lol what fraud has four rings ten straight finals appearances all time scoring leader will finish too three in assists three or four MVPs came back from a three one lead to win a ring lol yeah ok stop hating you sound ridiculous
A lot of yall truly have no clue what youre talking about. Every team dlo has been traded from has gotten better after he left. You saying lebron is somehow the reason dlo has been spotty af for three straight years is crazy. Dlo has been the exact same guy his whole career, a ton of potential with very little execution, and no consistency. If he was serious about being an nba star level player, he would have worked on his broken jump shot years ago. He would have accepted being a spot up shooter no matter which team hes on because he is a turnover generator as a ball dominant guard. Dlo plays like a slightly bigger but substantially less athletic rus with absolutely no dawg in him amywhere. I like dlo but he seems kind of lazy

I could’ve just been a missed layup. Even if it was wide open.
Can’t have players like that on a team tryna win a chip. Dlo one of my fav players when he’s hot. WHEN is the thing tho. Haven’t had a solid dlo game since last trade deadline🤷🏽
@ I feel ya.. but this guy has played great and still doesn’t get credit.. He’s been treated like a step cousin since he came back to LA
Unfortunately, he just doesn't have IT. Like you said...he'll go off for a game. But them he's nowhere for 5 games.
Lakers need the scrappy Finny that know how to affect the game in other way besides scoring ..the scoring is just a bonus when he gets hot
Especially in playoff, Dlo disappears most of time.
And he also has issue for the fear of physical contact.

@ can’t blame us the lights just get too bright for them
The thing is, even if DFS plays like shit, he plays defense. Something the Lakers badly need
Bruh 5:00 rob pelinka needs to burn it all down and rebuild.
i agree blowing it up is the solution trade lebron to warriors, trade AD to a contender and other players where they get picks, i get it's lebron but he's not the same player he once was and AD gets hurt to often
Last year in the playin tournament, Dlo was on his phone on the bench alone while the whole team was huddled up together.
lakers should blow in up trade lebron, AD gets alot of draft capital like picks and young guys, because this lineup isn't working
That was in the first round
All you guys saying DLo is a scapegoat this and Lebron messed him up that. The fact remains the same, that he is grotesquely inconsistent. And if he can’t play with the STARS it’s doing the TEAM more harm than good.
You put him in the starting lineup and you guys complain he needs the ball more. You move him to the bench and let him run the 2nd unit and now he turnover happy. There is no balance with DLo and that is scary for teams trying to win. I will admit he has only had one option to truly thrive and that was in Brooklyn. Other than that teams have asked him to be a shell of himself.
He’s better in a setting where there is no pressure and essentially nothing to play for. I’ve been trying to hope him into doing better it just never panned out that way.
DLo did this to himself...he can't blame anyone for inconsistency except himself...
Good move, first round exit loading again
i feel lakers got worse
Ever wonder why no big name athlete/coach would want to sign with the Lakers (Klay, DeRozan, Coach Hurley)? This is exactly why!

At the end of the day it’s up to D’lo to be better not us the fan! Not the front office neither. You can see it on most of these players faces they only there for the check! That’s it. The only people that’s still wants a better career is Lebron, curry, and maybe KD! Those are really the only players that still want to win more rings. Everybody else is there for the check.
Lol the lakers keep making stupid trades which keeps putting themselves deeper into a hole 🤣
Everyone knows Dlo is getting shipped nothing to do with basketball his contract is a handicap on this current bloated team cap…
And he shouldn’t of got away with being trash against Denver in 2 series
You can get good players to help him but expect him to not do good and be the next scape goat
We not gonna act like trading more played will solve the issue,
We all know that if they trade Lebron they could get better players but they will never do such because money makes the world go round
It all fell down when he did that shit to nick young 🤦🏿
We will win this year Milton and Finney Smith will bring the depth and they will bring alot to the Table than DLow..
i'm actually surprised i thought he was doing good on offense
de lo is a good streak shooter, not much else....does have some nice passing too...but not anywhere near worth 18m a year!
We got to stop talking about his potential. At some point you are what you are....Russell is talent....but too inconsistent for a tram to ever rely on.
Inconsistent make you move from teams…
Imagine trading the guy with the highest plus minus on the team while ignoring the man with the Lelowest on the team hopefully Dlo has an allstar outing
LeBron lead the team in plus minus last season and will this year before the year is over.I love how LeBron haters suddenly pay attention to plus minus when it's not in his favor
The first Jordan Poole
He bouta go off watch in Brooklyn
It’s taxing on a players mindset to be ridiculed for every performance and given no props, common theme playing with Bron
Russell has always been inconsistent.
Russ deliberately plays "" basketball to lower his value. He wanted to play for LAL from the beginning, because of Kobe. His idol. He played well at the beginning of his career, transfer. Then he played well again, the transfer and now he must have heard a rumor that they were going to give him away somewhere to "help" Mr. Craying Queen.
edit
I'm already sick with a narrative that D'Lo should be traded for some D player where they have a guy for 50 million, a 40-year-old whose only task is to STATPADDING and stand under the basket waiting for a rebound. To improve the overall performance of the Lakers, it is the transfer of LBJ for a pack of peanuts or the purchase of his contract and immediate retirement. I'm tired of this trickster and, despite his age, the players play under his dictation, as if his force shots and referees' whistles favoring him mattered in his "GOUT" debate. MJ and Kobe are players you never race, too many fake rings and weak opponents. Now that he has to fight against 50+, as it happens in the West, he has a quick vacation. Bravo.
It would be so funny if dangelo got traded to the warriors and then to minnesota again
Stop watching pro sports with your feeling if u leave any dought somebody will take your spot 😢
It’s gotta be drugs smh dfs and shake will not be what the lakers need
DLo is trash after got traded from Nets to GS and still trash till this day
The suns or Knicks are a perfect team for him he would be a perfect bench player.
Actually the Sixers he would be a great bench player
You lost me at "the Lakers have a decent team" lol.
Lebron is cooked, guy doesn't even attempt to play defense most nights. AD tries, but is rarely full effort, and the role players are sporadic at best. Its not a decent team, they are a bad team with a bad roster that is capable of beating most teams once in a blue moon
Who would start for the most teams in nba.
Russell or finney-smith
Nah diddy already in jail. So lebron can feed his teammates to him. Now all lakers can shoot 3
Watch Russell go to BK and kill shii and I got the Nets making the Playoffs lmaooo
Point God Bron activated
🤣
This trade seems fishy.
Just need ingram back 4 championship run now lol
I can't wait for LBJ to retire
Dlo will go back to being an all star with the nets. Hes only good if he can be ball dominant
I think these trade is going to help the Lakers
Russel is a killer alright.
This is cap if the Lakers were serious why did they draft LeBron son and why is Quincy O. Not on the team anymore or not playing
WE know the history of "LEWHINE BLAMES" and his team/ teammates
Good for D LO
Is underdog in NJ
Russell is trash!!!
Honestly he messed up his career when he decided to be a snitch lol
Would you do AR,RUI , DK or Max and two 1st rders, all the 2nd and picks swaps for fox ??
That’s a Westbrook type trade.. Bron, AD & fox with no bench/role players isn’t the answer
STRAIGHT NO
I see what you're saying but man fox is a killer and we can win now and later
AR is a better fit for the Lakers than Fox. You're also trading away the Lakers good outside shooters for someone who shoots 31% from three.
You can win now and later. Shit look at what sabonis did to foxs game. Now imagine AD who is more versatile and a way better defender. The only problem I see is that $150M will be tied to 3 players and fox getting paid like a max player but he has only 1 all star(someone got hurt) and no all NBA teams. 1 playoff run and not proven.
Aaaaaand he's gone.
I actually feel sorry for DFS for now having to go deal with Lebron's bullshit.
🤡
Before i say anything just literally look at his number with and without bron
Look at it as well in the regular vs the playoffs.
For the sake of his career I'm glad he escaped from LeBlame and the Lakers.
Sure it's lebron fault that he was traded so many times
@otismichael2583 You poor LeBroniac. Doesn't he allow you to watch anything other than LeESPN?
Can’t wait till Lebron retires
We would have ar15 Cristy dfs ad and a good center
Trade pelinka get rob lowe 😂😂😂
lol relax with the title. You’re acting like DFS is a savior and we rug pulled the league. We are still mediocre as a team and not built to even come out the west
Dude if you’re ‘feeling bad’ for NBA players lend me a couple dubs cuz aint nothing to feel bad about for them they cry they asses in million dollar mansions and luxury, cry me a river. The other thing I cant wait for DLO to pop off in Brooklyn and ‘DoDo’ is total Doo Doo to y’all and y’all start crying to trade him back lmao history repeats itself…
Man y'all out talking like Dlo is done. It's crazy how people really don't see that these players don't want to play for Lefraud, and Dlo wasn't giving his best because he's been ready to leave to get away from that narcissistic. Dlo is going to the Nets and ball out, just every other player that leaves that dead franchise. I mean they scraped the bottom of the barrel for a trade, and it still won't help.🤣 A role player is only as good as it's leader, and their leader is a fraud.😆
U sound like an uneducated hater lol what fraud has four rings ten straight finals appearances all time scoring leader will finish too three in assists three or four MVPs came back from a three one lead to win a ring lol yeah ok stop hating you sound ridiculous
@Alex-c5v7p dlo actually plays better without Lebron. Lebron stifles PGs and he (lebron) hasnt been the best player on the Lakers since the bubble.
@@theprofessorjg right thats why austin reaves is struggling haha
@@theprofessorjg dlo has shat the bedwithout lebron you guys are morons
@@LSphotoshop Austin can have the ball his hands or play off-ball. He's been balling with LeBron out. Dlo plays better with the ball in his hands.
He was better in new York
Let me guess, it’s Lebrons fault
Someone should tell LeBum that it has past. He is that guy to go that long
I don't blame DLo. I wouldn't care either. The Lakers are a 💩 show
Shit show is #5 in the West
@otismichael2583 Lakers brag about championships, not being in the middle of the pack.
@areynolds38116 so they're supposed to be the #1 seed every year and if they're not they're a shit show?
Early scapegoat
Ain't nufin fun about losing money goofy
A lot of yall truly have no clue what youre talking about. Every team dlo has been traded from has gotten better after he left. You saying lebron is somehow the reason dlo has been spotty af for three straight years is crazy. Dlo has been the exact same guy his whole career, a ton of potential with very little execution, and no consistency. If he was serious about being an nba star level player, he would have worked on his broken jump shot years ago. He would have accepted being a spot up shooter no matter which team hes on because he is a turnover generator as a ball dominant guard. Dlo plays like a slightly bigger but substantially less athletic rus with absolutely no dawg in him amywhere. I like dlo but he seems kind of lazy
Correlation does not imply causation
He's trash bro
shoot
😂E😭😭😭😭the wheels have definitely fallen off LBj😂😂😂😂😂
