Well it's hard to ignore the elephant in the room. Might as well rename this thread "Why it was a Mistake to Trade D'Angelo Russell."
Not with historically toxic contracts like MozDeng. It's not debatable that Brook Lopez was possibly (and realistically) the best expiring...
Just as a reminder, this is next year's UFA class.... let's not act like this is any other FA class. Lebron James Russell Westbrook Paul George...
Always? The only team in a worse situation than Brooklyn is Brooklyn. There were no other takers. If Russell had busted a knee half way thru the...
What makes you think there would be opportunities to dump MozDeng at the deadline next year? Where's the guarantee? Russell, Mozgov, and Deng...
fyi this is when dlo became expendable [IMG]
Agreed. In fairness, Magic/Rob are cleaning up what happened before February 2017. They can not be blamed for 1) the public criticism of Russell,...
I agree 100% [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
LOL his ex-GF has twice the hops of DLO.
Yes I would trade the #2 pick for a 21 year-old Dirk Nowitzki. In fact, I'd give up any one of our young players for Porzingis.
I think most would have been opposed. Pre-lottery most people were saying JC/JR/#28. Now that George is pretty much demanding a trade to the...
If the rumors are true, I can not fathom why we are including Julius in the trade.
Thanks real. So I guess Julius and B.Lopez compliment each other extremely well, as their strength is the other's weakness. (rebounding and rim...
Reason 1 is not even a legitimate reason. They could sign a nobody for a big 1+1 year deal if they wanted to fill cap space.
Guys. Let's be real. No one's taking Deng. :Laugh:
Optimism: We had a 50/50 chance of keeping our pick. Swapping Dlo/Mozgov for Ball/Lopez/#27 is a definitely a net positive, both to our roster and...
I much prefer scenario 1, both for the short and long term. Scenario 2 - we aren't winning jack ish with Julius + Clarkson gone.
We'll probably never get the full details of his character issues, which are very serious but not criminal, according to D-Fish Man.
I think we had to dump either Deng or Mozgov, but not both. We now have the cap space to sign two max FA's in 2018, so dumping Deng would be more...
Brook Lopez is a Top 3 center on the offensive end. The problem with him is defense and rebounding.
