D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

We can crap on Lebron or AD or refs or anyone else, but the reality is that if DLo performed at his regular season level, we’d be 2-0.

 

he loses money on that contract every trip out.

 

Better have two huge games coming up. Man, we can’t have two of our best players continue to be wildly inconsistent.

 

Yeah... it's sad really. Let's hope he balls out in LA.

I don't mind him getting 25 - 27, as we can't get a better partner for AR, skill-wise, but we need him to defer to AR (which he actually does, so that's a plus).

 

I thought he was atrocious tbh. The stars for all their offensive faults gave it their all on defense.

DLo was jus terrible on both ends.

 

find a way to get dejonte murry from atl, even if he took 20m ish range still overpaid, weak handles for guard, lacks burst n the def is atrocious any den g can cook him

 

I bet he bounces back at home, he's way better there.

 

a** in his veins

 

I really hope he does. I wouldn't pay him a cent over 20mil at this point. Hell, im not sure i would pay him 15.

 

Time to bench him and play him 15-18 a game

If it's not the case , Denver will advance

 

i think i'd need one more half. first half of game 3, if we're not up, he's out of the rotation for the second half.

weirdly enough, the guy i might try is beasley. maybe he's got an axe to grind with denver or something.

 

DLO a NoSho

 

I'm going to keep rooting for D'Angelo, we need him to play well, in order to be at our best. However I concede that he's not playing like he's up to his salary, or to his role as a consistent 3rd option. He has to do better, or I'm pushing back on resigning him to a 30 million dollar contract.I don't think we are getting 20-25 million dollars worth right now either.

 

He’s supposed to be our 3rd star and he isn’t producing. When he plays big, we win big. Plain and simple.

 

pretty sure rob will be, too, unless he picks it up and we win a title. his road to a payday is there, but he's not on it.

 

So honest opinion here..what do you think his value is right now, if you are Rob's seat?

 

As an asset to probably trade his salary? $20-25. As a talent we want to keep? $15

 

I see Beasley as a very poor transition defender . It takes him a while to sprint back on defense after he shot the ball .

Troy Brown may be a better solution .

Darvin might try both
