    That trade sucks. Hoping this is just the first of a series of dominos.

    Also, we'll just never know these players as intimately as the front office does. Clearly, there was a ton of smoke regarding Russell's mentality/attitude. It sucks, but perhaps the kid just didn't have the right stuff between the ears.

    Sucks losing Russell, but this feels like just the first domino...

    Obviously we hated Russell. Still think we should have held on to him longer to increase his value. Oh well.

    Ouch, this one hurts. I'm not seeing the end game here unless it's Paul George somehow.. Why dump Russell just to get rid of the Moz deal and a late first? If this is just to clean up a Mitch and Jim mess I'm pissed.

    Terrible trade, I don't understand the logic behind dumping Russell for no valuable assets. Lopez is not a good return even considering how the Lakers got rid of Mozgov's contract.

    Please let Paul George follow closely soon and yet, I think I'll still be mad about this trade.

    What the hell?

    Why didn't we just send him to Indiana for George? This better be part of a three way sending Deng and the 2 firsts for Moz.

    Completely horrible trade.

    Ball kept saying he's a leader. I am confident they told him that's what they were looking for (I'm assuming they were not high on DAngelo growing up).

    I'm not happy.

    Ironic that we finally dump mozgov and I can't quite get myself to celebrate due to the departure of DLo. I feel like we are all in with PG now; otherwise, we got hosed in this deal.

    I guess the Agent factor amongst pg/randle/dlo didn't mean anything or PG doesn't care for Dlo spot here either.

    If we don't trade for PG now and we are left with this, a casualty from the previous era to dump Moz, I'm going to be livid. And if they are planning to wait for PG in FA, it makes ZERO sense to trade DAR now.

    I am in total and complete shock. This doesn't make sense to me AT ALL. The only thing I can think that is that we'll do anything we can to clear space for the summer of 2018 but JESUS this sucks.
