D'Lo will fit really well on the Sixers next season.

well... Roballer has me pretty dead to rights tonight. Cheers. Dlo had a great game from points and assists to 1 TO in a win

Hes really having a solid year. Im happy with Kuzma but cant help but wish we had kept Russell over Ingram at this point.

I always questioned DAR’s ability to get his team mates to play for him. Poor locker room influence is a completely disqualifying factor to me. He can light it up but he’ll never pull a team with him from the front.

Playing with guys that are all about themselves sucks. It’s like working for an old school boss versus working for a new school leader who gets dirty and is inclusive. D’Lo thinks he’s the ****, so he’s off my list.

funny you would say that when the Nets are playing way above their talent level around him.

I'm at a loss here. You're talking about D'Angelo Russell? He's been completely selfless and humble during his 2 seasons as a Net. Dude has zero ego and has been a fantastic teammate who doesn't mind sharing the spotlight and has carried the Nets repeatedly on his back all season long.

Let’s see if it lasts. I hope so for him.

He might make the All-Star team, albeit in the **** East . 5 backcourt and 7 frontcourt guys make it if I recall.

Irving, Oladipo, Simmons, Walker are locks. There's one spot and only Beal comes close IMO, and his team has a way worse record.
Lowry has missed a ton of games, Butler and Middleton are pegged in the frontcourt, Wall is out for the season. I don't think I'm missing anyone, he's the 5th guy.

Sixers are going to do the silly thing and pay butler.

They should still have cap space after that.

In other news, Anthony Davis out a couple of weeks so that's the end for the pelicans playoff push.

Can't win and soft as hell.

Enough to sign Russell? I'm not sure what his value is.

Randle about to pad those stats to get himself a big payday

Lakers over the last 12 games without LeBron James (and Rondo and sometimes Kuzma): 5/7
Pels over the last 12 games WITH AD: 6/6

This is not a "We should pass on AD post" but still... Damn.

How is Terrence Ferguson not nicknamed Turd Ferguson?

Damn, the ending in Philly (against OKC) was wild...

Random thought: I wish lonzo and Booker was on the same team. That would be beautiful.

All these DLo and JC talk makes me think if Nick Young's antics caused these two some valuable learnings from other professional vets.

Devin Booker is shooting 32% from 3 point land. That doesn't include his 1-6 performance tonight.

Wasn't McGee and Chandler out one or two of those games too?

Melo traded to the Bulls. Will be waived
