D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Opted In!

A D'Angelo and Prince deal for Brogdon doesn't sound so bad now to me. I'm fully aware of Malcolm's injury history though.

 

He's performing at the level he's getting paid. If he was more consistent he'd have a $25+M/year contract for 4 years.

 

yeah, we really can't complain at his salary. i'd like him to be a bit better on defense like he said he was trying to be, but offensively he's been pretty solid most of the time and brings something nobody else on the roster does.

 

Damn that was smooth tonight!

He was locked in on both sides (or as locked in as he can possibly be defensively) from the jump.

Hopefully he has some of this magic left from tomorrow night.

 

Great game but he’s got to do this against the good teams.

 

Let's see if he can break the Dak Prescott of NBA PGs career path that he is kn

 

I love DLo man

 

Do half of what you did today against OKC tom. Even that will have some semblance of DLO heading in the right direction.

Show us some consistency DLO; regardless of who we’re playing.

Excellent game today. MOAR!

 

Sure, easy D on him from that JV squad but D’Angelo was an artist with his full repertoire on display tonight. So skilled and so smooth.

 

Fool me once...

 

if any of these guys that everyone wants dlo traded for had a single game like this, we'd hear about it all season.

 

Wanted to give his reel another look, rewatched some of the highlights, his passes were almost as good as some of his buckets last night. Drop, skip, over the top -- found Bron and primarily AD with some really easy looks.

Usually if he starts out hot, he's ice when he comes back in after sitting. I think Ham pulled him a little too early in the 1st as well. But when he came back in each time, he was still in the zone.

In his post game (above) he mentioned just staying locked in and avoiding the heat check rhythm breakers. That was a mature take. I hope he carries it with him... we'll see.

 

Don't let teh boxscore fool you: he again sucked against a good team. Dumb To's, dumb fouls, bad defense, arrgh

Classic DLo

 

I hate how predictable this game was...

DLO with a meh game...and just terrible defensively.

He's still a better fit than Lavine though so I'm not going to overreact here...but yeah if you can find a no brainer deal out there...you probably need to deal DLO without sacrificing TOO much depth.

 

So predictable- can’t help us win against the good teams.
I wish he were more consistent.

 

DLo was good against Houston. 9 points on 10.shots but he played really well on defense and got his teammate on the right spots

 

Loved to see him contribute on D when his shot wasn’t falling.
More of this please!
