D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

compensate for his future salary

 

so he didn't do an interview because he couldn't have his drink? He has to know he's gonna lose that battle right?

 

The series is tied 1-1 between DLo and the PR Lady.

 

Box score should say 3 turnovers, not 2.

 

Those clips are edited and just show him entering and leaving. He answered questions

 

That said he actually had a better overall game than I realized while watching it

 

Why is he dressed like little red riding hood?

 

It seemed like he had a bad game but he was actually pretty okay. Some bad possessions but some timely shots as well.

At least having to chase Klay, Poole and sometimes Curry around all series will prepare him for KCP. I actually can see him playing less mins next round, we might need extra defense on their back court and they don't go as small as GSW.

feel like he had in-game extremes: clanked a wide open three, but hit a very difficult 18 ft stop and pop over a big in good position. felt like stuff like that happened back and forth.

what i like about russell right now is that he seems totally ok if he's a decoy on offense, and he's trying on defense. that's a guy who's trying to win. i'll take it. and his talent shines through enough right now to help us win games.

 

looks more like my grandma when she’s at church.

 

Your grandma has more muscle tone

 

So here's a question. If Memphis is dumping Ja, would we consider a sign and trade of DLO for him? He's a little more unstoppable, also moves well without the ball, but would super benefit from an influence like Lebron in his life. Might put him on a course for success, and I'd think he'd be all kinds more consistent than DLO.

 

Ham, Bron, Handy and Magic would be great for him. There's a huge talent disparity there in the trade. I'm not sure how low his d******ery is going to drop his value and I'm sure the suspension could cut some of his cost if it's as long as it should be. Picks would need to be included too. If you want to get real stingy, Mo and Beas meet the required salary going out. Just saying.

I do think the best for both Grizz and Ja is to move on. He can't turn the page until he gets away from that toxic off court environment and his team's not doing him any favors by not holding him accountable. There's no adults in the room in Memphis.

They could get better deals elsewhere, but on whatever team would be getting him they need to have a coming to a Jesus sit down with him before you pull that trigger (no, not that one Ja). Zero tolerance. friends from home aren't allowed in the state. Dad takes a massive step back. No weapons. Get a rape whistle and a pocket knife. That's it. Clubbing to a minimum. Got to get the in season drinking under control. Maybe AA. He has to buy in and accept it's all him and fix ALL of it. Not that BS redemption shirt merchandise play his dad attempted when he came back. If he isn't willing to go all the way, let him burn it all down elsewhere.

 

All those risks from his character to bring in a guy who risks his career physically …. seriously every game he plays every season. Just my nothing opinion but want high character guys. Don’t like him.

 

Not to mention and it should be mentioned the tremendous chemistry and enjoyment and learning the game Austin gets playing with DLO, which will have them both getting better as a duo going forward. Here Austin …. we traded D’Angelo for this Jacka**. You guys can start working together when he gets off his 30 game suspension. (??) Cue Reaves’s being scolded by LeBron face.

 

I don't want Ja. I see more incidents like these, more suspensions, and more injuries in his future.

 

with our weapons and the gravity they draw, he'd be an interesting addition from a talent standpoint. but some things may never be worth the risk. But if we don't want to pay DLO what he wants, and it works, I'd consider it. Ja is forever movable at this stage to a team that thinks they are the change he needs.

 

I also think Cuban would be willing to take the chance and would consider a Kyrie S+T for him if Kyrie played ball to get pizzaid one final time perhaps.
