D'Angelo Russell Discussion: All Time Lakers Season 3 Point Shooter

there's no way all of this stems from the swaggy incident. we are so far removed from that

there were clearly some major underlying issues that the FO saw as red flags that led to this trade

 

I'm lost what's the context of the post?

 

Several people have popped up that seem to share your joy that Russell is gone.

 

I mean you could sure guess he's seen drinking many beers / ? out in public often or too often?

 

funny:

ironic

 

Perfect gif for what Joel said. That was pretty savage on Joel's part.

 

Hahaha well I spoke it into existence....just took me 3 yrs hahaha

 

Curious why the trade hasn't been officially announced yet.

 

It will be official tomorrow at the draft.

 

judging by his instagram, d-lo's been having quite a bit of fun this offseason

 

Has he said anything on any social media yet?

 

nope. he's gone into hiding

Has he really? Compare that to shredded Randle and you can understand why they traded DAR. Magic wanted these guys in shape and Randle took it to heart.

 

This situation reminds me of Andrew Bynum. A lot of the same questions. I was sad to see him traded, but knew he'd likely never realize his potential.

Feel the same way about D'Angelo. Certainly a possibility he can realize his potential in Brooklyn, but I don't think it's very likely.

Been here for two years and still the same issues on and off the court. Still really inconsistent. It's a shame, but you either have that dog in you or you don't.

First year I understand the entire Kobe farewell was not easy on him nor was playing for Byron. What was the excuse this year? No Kobe. No Byron. New head coach with a new system.

More reign and freedom and he still didn't have that breakout season we had hoped for.

Wish D'Angelo the best. I do. I was one of the fans who loved the pick of him, but sometimes you're just wrong about a player and I think that was the case here.

 

All true and still... he was our best player ;-).
