D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Opted In!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but he Played well for us off the bench.

 

Thanks for showing up and doing your job.

 

Harder to trade him with the Vincent injury

 

These good teams just go after him on defense. He has to be exceptional on offense to make up for that and he just isn't most of the time against the upper echolon

 

Buh-Bye.

 

why? vincent 3gm was garbage n we havent had him most of season thus far

 

Agreed. Just don’t see him lasting past the trade deadline

 

Need to trade

 

Vincent was a plus 27 in his last 3 games, smh.. you continue to make stuff up.

 

yea his gm was amazing

 

Because with Vincent out , you're down to two ballhandlers ( Bron and AR) on the roster if you trade DAR .. unless you get one back in the trade

 

bron n ar is fine as the ball handler, not like we're missing an incredibly productive player in vincent, trase vincent too before he Nunns us which already looking that way

 

disagree. they're fine as half court initiators; both are not as good when they're tasked with full pg duties.

there's a reason we look great when dlo's on--he does things we need. he just doesn't do them all the time, and sometimes, he's downright terrible. it's hard to find someone who does all that at the same level, all the time. their teams won't let them go.

so we spent on gabe, hoping he'd step up when dlo flaked. then gabe died, and we're kinda screwed.

 

D'Angelo has shot pretty good since the 4th in Minnesota. He's 14/23 from the field. I think he's due a big shooting night here shortly. When he scores, he plays well, the whole team plays better.

The next few weeks are going to be huge, for the decision on his future here. He's talented enough, the effort and will, shouldn't still in question 30 games into the season.

I'm not counting him out yet tho, the ball is still in his court.

 

yep. we've got some winnable games on the schedule for the next month. if we play well, i think we just stand pat or can be opportunistic at the deadline. if we keep treading water, i expect another shakeup. but these next 12-14 games are going to decide it for me, and probably the FO/lebron.

 

These are not physical lapses

 

These are, idgaf about D lapses. Dude is who he is, not a winning player, tennants could use him (if not for brick and beard)...

 

Wow!!! The top clip was just AWFUL. What the hell man? The 2nd clip was indeed virtually identical except he made it even worse "styling" his way too late getting there, for no good reason, with AR directing properly in both instances ...... hand in the air.

 

Lol..if D'Angelo goes out and drop 30 on Charlotte, everybody is going to love him again. Defensive shortcomings and all. FACTS
