    he's making it much easier on the team to move him as a pure expiring. if he were bringing value more consistently, i think he'd be safe on the trade market. almost feels like he wants out, tbh.

    Bench unit looked OK without DLO...24 pts total so I'd like to see a bit more there still?

    More likely than not - DLO is a goner because of the expiring and it's our way of getting something for him instead of nothing.

    If it results in Cam Johnson, DFS, Kessler/Sexton...etc I mean at this point, I'm happy to take on guys that extend past this year so that we have guys for next year (similar to when we got DLO/Vando/Beas for Russ). eSsentially this is Pre-Agency once again for us....

    it was time to move on, but i'll still miss d-lo. always liked him going back to when he was drafted. unfortunately, he just can't be trusted come playoff time

    dlo had cleary run his course here. i was hoping to use the contract to better effect. i guess we'll see what happens after this, but the "do something rob" folks should be happy, i guess. we did something...

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out

    He was so hot and cold

    Always disappeared in playoff games

    Not going to miss him, but I think Rob could have done better on the return

    Not exactly the bruiser 5 we needed Rob

    but I guess at least Dlo is gone?

    I was always Team DLo. Wish he would have had a bigger impact in the playoffs. When he was on he was so fun to watch. Godspeed.

    yeah, i liked him more than most. but he gave the FO very little choice, imo. he needed to play better this year if he wanted to stay, and he hasn't.

    If Nets would not buy him out he's going to kill Lakers with 30+ points and 7 -8 3's in like couple weeks when they play Brooklyn

    Yeah. I was a fan but he had plenty of chances to nail down a spot here and just wasn’t able to.

    Would you bring him back on the cheap if he gets bought out?

    I always liked him for what he is, just not the contract

    I’m confused. Are you saying you felt differently or that I should somehow feel differently about his leaving?
