Latest On D'Angelo Russell's Decision! Lakers' Spending Power If He Opts In Or Out 

They are extremely far away

you have to be a a false cope troll. every real laker fan understands that the west is going to be even stronger this coming season and that we didn’t improve nearly enough to keep up. couple that with the fact that our new zero experience head coach and we seem primed for another disappointing year if not a disaster.

@@elrealamericanhero and you have to be someone that doesn't know shit about athletic competition and lives thru media. You probably wanted Ham to stay and are still crying over Caruso being gone. They lost to a Den team that's the worst matchup for them and did nothing to fix it. That's on Pelinka. I don't give a damn about the west, that team would've beaten everyone else last year by evidence of Dallas getting to the finals, but of course you had them getting there from jump right? People like you that come in heat calling names, acting like you know everything don't know jack. Do they have issues? Yes. Are they correctable? Absolutely, and that's what the key will be. I easily spelled that out and you still took showed your ass. Reddick may/may not be the answer but ham sure as hell wasn't. But I'll tell you thing, he systematically outlined what ham didn't do in 2 yrs in 45minutes and that's enough for me for now. The difference between 8 seed and 6 were the games Ham tricked off. Is the west tough? Yes, will it be easy, absolutely not. They have 2 all NBA players and enough support to contend and get in the dance, that's all I said. Considering they've lost half of the pose season games the last 2 yrs at the buzzer it suggests I'm closer to being right then wrong here but you're the effing genius here, roll with it then and piss off.

Facts! Extremely disrespected for sure. He's our best offensive shoot and a great player. Without him, we don't make the play-in, let alone the playoffs. I truly hope he gets the last laugh as this fanbase is horrible smh

Quickly is just younger with upside on ceiling. DLO have produced all-star numbers but lacked consistency. But I agree tho. Highly still unrated with being only 27-28

He’s not a winner

@@mescudi971 Its a psychological thing with him. He plays to well in the regular season to just give up on him

Isn't Tatum and Brown making the same money as Bron and AD yet somehow the Celtics manage to go get Holiday, Porzingis, etc. Lebron is putting butts in the seat and he's carrying his workload. DLo. Reaves, Rui, etc aren't doing their jobs. Porzingis, Holiday, etc won the Celtics a couple of games by themselves. Why aren't the Lakers role players stepping up?

Because the owner is cheap the other teams are going all in and paying the luxury tax

That would be tough I think we should keep DLO honesty without his play LA wouldn’t even be in the playoffs let’s keep it a buck

@@Klibra23DLO sucks stop it

Amen

@dartkid wow really he just didn’t show up against Denver

I respectfully disagree with you man

Take less on your job. Be a team player

@@josephmcintyre752 yeah actually at my job we’re all getting paid the same player

I'd racheru have clay at least he van shoot and play some D.

I dont

Oh they will lol

Dude gabe is trash what are you smoking??

We have no idea what teams will offer him.

Probably 78mill I’m sure Gsw paid him 100mill or no?

Smart!

Thinking the same 😅

And he does !

He did lol

Facts dlo given zero even demanding more money yet fooooools wants bron to take a pay cut is clown 😂😂😂

Id ask ad and lebron

@@elearnpreplike are you guys trying to win or????

@@bashercleaner863 lebron might actually take a pay cut to help the team win a ring. hes already a billionaire.

Ego!

Vando is in the team. He is not a free agent or player option or anything.

@@binayathapa4046 that's great news but i meant an update on his injury

nothing due to injury. which means we dont have to pay him much since his value is so low. might as well keep him

Gabe Vincent is a good player with defense. I like him. I also hope Vanderbilt won't be traded. He's the only player in the team who can guard Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic and even Kevin Durant. Of course these players can still score against Vanderbilt, the hard way.

He was damnass injured!

​@@blenquing4951 are you living in 2019?? klay thompson went 0 for 10 in an elimination game he guards himself

😂you don’t mean that

I will never get these Christie jockers

Reeves is not a bad defender

That why lakers have vando!

Trade reeves for dejounte

Vando always hurt trade him

@@WopJrHe’s a terrible defender but he does try.

If you have him,Reaves and Klay that's pretty solid. We'll be in the mix if healthy, and Knecht delivers. There's nothing major that's gonna propel us above The Nuggets,Mavs, and TWolves, but could be right there with a decent chance.

@@vernpascal1531 I agree but if Klay talks MLE we will have great shooting with DLO, Austin, Klay and rookie. At that point we can shop Gabe for a big Man and we are set to go I believe

Yes,but the Entertainment Factor, and Human Element, would be through the roof with Bronny.

you get what they get. if there isnt news you dont get any.

thousands of serf brained youths are ‘living their best lives’ now that bronny got drafted.

Lol😅😂😂😂

Facts dlo is inconsistent

Why would he restructure his contract in any way?

No market for Dlo and no good all around guards available on said market. We’re stuck with a choker who can’t play D and is a terrible leader and floor general. When his shot is broke he provided next to nothing. I miss the Fisher days. At least on the days his shot wasn’t going you could count on him in other ways, especially defensively.

@@elrealamericanhero Fish was damn lucky. Because he had Kobe and Shaq. Hell Fish was shooiting in the 30's the last couple of years and could never do what DLO last year. DLO shot over 40 from 3! Fish could hardly shoot 40 overall during his prime.

Dlo does what you expect for him to do. People want to to suddenly become something he is not...

Exactly, facts! They need to go after another defensive guy and a center. I strongly believe they are a good team just need the right coach to play them

Why do u and other think the Lakers weren't a contender last year? Do u think any of those west teams beat the Lakers other than Denver??? LA runs through the mavs, thunder and wolves if they had played. If u dont know that, u dont know your team. They are built for the playoffs not the regular season because their stars arent young. A few tweaks this off season they can beat anyone including denver. Im a Sixers fan btw.

@@jmar5127Twolves and Mavs easily run through the defensively challenged lakers last post season. Luka and Ant would embarrass reeves and the rest of our frontcourt. We couldn’t even handle an injured murray and you conveniently forget our best defensive scheme is to let teams shoot and drive until they get tired of scoring. With all your cherry picking, you forget how our MO is to let some random bench guy go off for 30 on a given night. Our best defense is to just stand around or get beat off the dribble. reeves, dlo, and bron some of the worst on ball defending starters in the league. And this coming season will be no different against the budding superstars. Stop drinking the Kool aid for a minute and use your brain.

@@jmar5127 bro knows ball

Yep

@@elrealamericanherolmao we literally had our second best defender hurt the whole season. I love how you tried to twist everything like we didn’t run through the clippers, thunder, suns, golden state, and mavs. Only team that beat us more was Denver, and wolves.

He's not the answer either.

He also scored ZERO points in a playoff game as a starting PG. Did you not see that game? Casual

People still defending D’lo lol?

His defense is the problem

He also went MIA-like (Chuck Norrise) in several games.

hop he does if he really wants to win

@@terryvarta9306exactly. He’s making and will make plenty of money even with a pay cut. Time to show us you care more about winning and less about money.

No Wade and both took the pay cuts to bring in Bron. Now it should be his turn to take a cut . So the lakers can bring in veteran player's.

Looks like he’s willing to take a pay cut

@@Klikklikboom0911 Yessss 👏 👏. That is awesome. Would never think he would.

lol theres a lot of players better. especially when they need a big.

They do have a plan, to launch a bunch of 3 point bricks all season.

Ok so lemme guess. Dejounte Murray is the answer 😂 I have no problem with D Lo staying

Neither can play any D at all.

​@@dreynolds4883Murray can shoot and play D . But that will not happen because he is going to the pels.

@@laker1championships452 Murray is slightly better than D Lo at best. The media hates D Lo because he is a Laker. As soon as he left last time they made him a Allstar. They'll do the same again. Hopefully we got a coach now. All we need is a big.

And 10% in the playoffs. Can't defend a parked car. Get him outta here

If he opts in he’ll be traded. Probably for Murray or Bruce brown. Maybe Collin sexton.

Agree. Probably will be traded tho which could be good as well

@dinero2849 don't gaf about DLO's regular season numbers this dude is trash when it counts 2yrs in a row. And your fine with that? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dlo wont be on this roster by the time trade deadline rolls around. 2 years now we've seen he is a liability on both sides of the floor in the playoffs and you cant spend 18 million on a player that only serves for the regular season.

Never gonna happen w out including Reaves not enough picks to trade unless including knecht or reaves

@carterfarris39 so include Reeves, I knew it wouldn't be just Russell, that's where the "plus" comes in. 🤷‍♂️

Murray gone to pelicans

People screaming Dejounte Murray must be 10 years old

Murray also got sent to pels for Larry Nance and picks and some guy named dyson

Dlo and hayes for Cameron Johnson and Sharpe from nets

@@binayathapa4046 I would do this trade . We would still need a playmaker though

Lebron prioritzes money over championships at this point

No one is taking a pay cut...dude...how about you take a pay cut..😂

No chance bro. His the goat they said.🤔 He wants to win but no pieces to be used. Thats Hard.

@miitheweirdartist6794 Lakers just signed his Podcast Partner and drafted his son. I can see LeBron taken less $.

Doesn't matter if he signs for minimum we still don't have cap to go get a star unless it's trade

He can’t takes much less there is a “minimum cap”

how does he owe the Lakers? they make a fortune off him@ lol

Yes I was like when did this happen
