D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

I burst out laughing at this

 

Hey, you played well, but you'll only play 5 mins of the fourth.

Lol.

 

He’s probably the key to moving on from Ham. Can’t see him resigning if Ham is still here.

 

We should welcome his exit too. He had a good 2nd quarter, but for the rest of the game, he went 2-7 from the field, and was his usual traffic cone self on defense.

 

Ham could go tomorrow, I don't care, but we ain't ever winning anything, with D' Chokeolo..

No one else has either.

 

lol, if it's ham or dlo, this is the easiest choice i've ever made.

 

You will still be lol when the next coach determines that D'Angelo isn't the answer too. This guy will be on his 5th team next season for a reason.

 

You definitely keep DLO. Ham is easily replaceable. Even if you don’t like DLO we can’t let him walk for nothing.

 

^and I say that as someone who isn’t convinced we will nail another coaching hire.

 

Keep him for what? He's still going to be who he is. Personally, I can't see D'Angelo and Lebron coexisting much longer. Even at 39, I'd side with James. Russell is fool's gold.

He won't walk for nothing either, nobody can pay him as much as we can. He'll opt in and get traded like Montrez

 

i think so. and like trez, his replacement will be somehow worse.

ham's won't.

 

James retires a Laker.

I can see us using Russell to get someone else but he has to cooperate for us to pull that off.

 

We'll see..but Russell won't be here either way.

 

If he doesn't cooperate, what are his options? Walk and take less money somewhere else? There won't be some kind of bidding war over him this summer. He can pull a Shroeder if he likes, and end up looking stupid, just like Dennis did.

 

He lived up to that today!

 

The only thing that matters is what he does in the playoffs. I don't believe we are going after Young. The media hasn't correctly predicted any trade Rob has made yet.

 

yeah we need to keep him if he shows any of this in the playoffs we will be super dangerous.

Excellent game from him tonight against a top 5 team in the league.
