    Default D'Angelo Russell

    I have a few questions.

    1. Did the Lakers not learn their lesson the first time they got rid of him?
    2. Why is he even playing?
    3. Since he is playing, why in the world would you keep passing him the ball?

    3 low IQ moves.

    Lakers need to hurry up and get rid of Letiny and softc0ck Davis.
    Can’t believe they wasted all future picks for this dumpster fire

    Laker fans were ecstatic when they got rid of Dslow.. then the morons brought him back

    I just read and was reminded of how they got him back.

    "In February, the Timberwolves sent Russell to the Lakers as part of the Russell Westbrook blockbuster and landed Mike Conley in the process."

    The Lakers are still suffering from that awful Russell Westbrook signing. We all know whose fault that is.

    We got Conley, NAW and some second round picks (which were used to trade up to draft Leonard Miller) on that trade.

    Heist of the century

    Not to mention Lebron and AD combo won them a ring in 20.

    Well at least he's a good RS player. They did lose the game where he finally played well, the team as a whole is just not good enough to hang with the big boys.

    1 What is the lesson here? That the Lakers should have rejected the offer from Minnesota and kept Russell Westbrook? This was still an amazing trade for Westbrook if only for the fact that not only did the Lakers unload Westbrook but got good pieces in return. Lakers were in need of a supplemental scorer and secondary ball handler, and they got that in D'Lo.

    2. Because he's playing great? Highest 3PT% of his career, and ~45% from 3 after ASB. Set the Laker record for most 3's in a season. Why would any team bench someone performing like that?

    3. See #2.

    low IQ questions.

    He's playing horribly though. Regardless of the situation he's been in, he has consistently been bad in the playoffs throughout his career. It's not just a one-off here.

    Yes, his play in the regular season helped the Lakers get here so there's no faulting him there. But wow has he been awful.

    I remember all the threads and discussions regarding his career trajectory. Now we know who he is. When his shot isn't falling his whole game seems to fall apart. Which is odd because he can do so many other things well with his handle and passing.

    The Lakers are a clown show. I couldn't understand it when they resigned him. They let Caruso and KCP go but resign this guy?
