OFFICIAL: DLO TO MINNY

[GopherIt!]

I honestly don't think I'm being a negative nancy with that take. Russell is the worst starting defensive PG in the league, that Im certain of because I'm a defense 1st advocate and I've had times of walking away from the TV watching D'Angelo get torched repeatedly. His laterall quickness, and quickness overall actually is awful. He gets beaten every time on D with either speed or bulk and then just gives up. Towns, well his defensive deficiancies are well documented, however he's at least a supreme sized athlete, but you're going to realise how bad Dlo is on defense shortly which constantly puts the entire team on the back foot every posession.

Anyway, I'm glad Dlo has been moved from the Warriors and we didn't even attempt the experiment going into next year when all of our guys are back.

three words:

Pick. And. Roll.


We’ve been waiting for this for almost 5 years.

Kat has never had a good pnr partner. He’s had pg’s who are terrible shooters (Rubio, Jones) or guys who dont like shooting 3s (teague). Despite that he’s been an absurdly efficient scoring big man. DLo is Kahn’s manna from heaven. Kat could drop 30ppg a night next season

OK cool fair enough. It's my personal opinion that Dlo is the biggest fools gold since Mike James's amazing contract season and the Wolves have just signed up for serious hurt over the next few years. That pick and roll will produce some good stuff on offense but will be outdone on the defensive end because Dlo is the worst defender in the entire league.

If KAT wasn't friends with Dlo, and wasn't pressing his org to trade for him, the Warriors would be up poop creek without a paddle. He is not a winning basketball player. He's slow, unathletic, weak, and outside of 3 point bursts has nothing that will contribute to teams. I was fooled into thinking he was going to be an asset for the Warriors, but after 10 games of watching him play I conceded, he's just not that good. That 3 point binging has fooled evryone.

I brought up one highly positive thing the trade provides that has been absent from Kats game for almost five years. Five years! I am happy about this change.

if your going to quote me, talk about the pnr.

quoting me and providing negative and unrelated counterpoints is trolling. It was unwarranted, unneccessary and is unappreciated.

Jesus Christ. Remind me to never listen to anything you say. How quickly you have flipped on DLo.

That's just sad man. True homer, I guess.

I flipped on Dlo after 10 games in. He sucks. His value though, for fans online seemed to be large which I bought into. After a while, with everyone thinking he would have big trade value, you get hopeful. My hope was Dlo + GS 1st for a better player was more than what Russell would return, all good. In the end, this is Dlo's market, which I think is a great return for him becasue GM's knew what Dlo is, only Minnesota really had a reason to trade for him.

I'm good to eat whatever crow that is dude. In the end, Dlo sucks and the Warriors made out with his market value which is quite good really.

Okay, so here is my big red font warning:

Don't attack posters as homers. Don't attack posters with name calling etc.

You can have a reasonable argument.

You can reasonable question how Minn will do on defense, or if DLO is so awful why were the demands 2 days ago for him so high. But please watch how you do both.

Your team is trash will always be trash, and your entire state is a bunch of trash -- Not okay.
Your team will struggle heavily as their best players all are proven defensive liabilities -- Okay.
I expect your team to be the worst in the league because they just suck -- Not great.
I expect your team to be the worst in the league because they were already bad and just got players that grade out worse than their old players using things like rpm -- Great. Makes same argument -- team will suck, but bothers to say why instead of just seeming like flaming someone. After all, some teams will suck and it is fair to say I expect a poor showing from the Knicks next year

Including comments like "2 days ago Russell was worth multiple 1sts, and today he sucks, that seems inconsistent" fair. Maybe there is an explanation "He does suck but GM's are stupid, thus he will have value. I feel the same about LaVine..."

Including comments like "2 days ago Russell was worth multiple 1sts, and today he sucks, you are the biggest two faced liar on this forum and everyone knows your takes are as stupid as your username -- Not okay. (Although now I want to know who has the worst username...)

The line between these last two is particularly tough so please watch your posts. Thanks.
