you can fix carelessness. you can teach bbiq. you can coach the turnovers and mental stuff.

it comes down to skill, talent, athletecism, ability... and most important the salary it will take to retain the player.

wouldnt expect you to understand, you just blind root for anyone. you are basically a bobble head doll with a keyboard

You've been flagged for personal attacks.

No you can't lol look at Okafur they've tried for months to get him to play defense, understand what's going on the court but he doesn't get it.
DLO has got better but he still has mental lapses too much you can't "fix" that. It's up to him to change.
He also isn't athletic compared to other NBA players but keep believing that fantasy

[MrDollarBills]

Him playing 2 next to Dinwiddie failed miserably so much that Dinwiddie regressed and had to go to the bench. It's all on D'Angelo putting the work in and committing to his role but that's not who he is. I'm not hating on the guy that's his persona arrogant, "my legacy" immature, lazy player. That's just the reality we all want a lightbulb to go on in his head but he is who he is and yes I know he's young.

Either you have it or you don't more often than not he doesn't. Prove me wrong Dlo

Spencer Dinwiddie's play regressing after the all star break is Russell's fault?

So he's the reason as to why our defense is bad, and is also the reason why Spencer has played like **** over the last 45 days?

anything else we want to blame this kid for?

A bad apple spoils the bunch.

This is a load of horse ****. Spencer Dinwiddie is accountable for his own play just like Russell is for his.

I dunno, I'm done, you guys win. I'm not about to argue anymore when the discussion devolves into nonsense like this. Enjoy hating a player on a team you claim to root for that hasn't done anything to warrant it, like some of the pieces of crap that came through this roster in year's past.

Dinweedie was already struggling with his shot when dlo was coming off the bench. like a few games prior to the allstar game dinweedie already start sucking. and he only has couple good shooting game from then to now.

trade him for a late first rounder. dinwiddie is better and you are getting lin back.

why not? we did it and won the trade acquiring kyle kuzma. you can do the same. it doenst seem to me he has increased his value so far.

Who would give up a 1st for him tho? The only people who have said good things about him are Nets fans and DLo fans. I haven’t heard another team or other fans saying they want DLo on their team. At least the Cavs tried to get Dinwiddie.

There’s no market for him and people here are talking about giving him a near-max extension.

Had to laugh at trading him because Lin is coming back. The team should be going forwards not backwards.

[hood30]

The carelessness, turnovers, bbiq,mental stuff is all irrelevant. the bigger is he is going to command a ton of money and i dont think he: A) fits the team or B) is a perrenial all-star. i know im a broken record but to me he is monte ellis not james harden.

i am encouraged he was hitting threes at 40% in march. thats the only thing IMO that would keep him here long term if he does that for his career not just a month here and there.

he needs to be a great/elite jump shooter, not just a good/very good

The Nets would gladly take DLo playing like Monte Ellis at this point considering how he's been playing currently.

What worries me the most is the fact that he's showing hint that he'll be an inefficient scorer for his career. 3 years in with a career FG% of 40.8%. When you add the fact that he's already a cemented well-below average defender, being an inefficient shooter will make it worse.

Still has the best potential on the team, so it's worth giving him the 4th year to see if he improves enough to warrant re-signing.

Was Kuzma aquired with the pick Nets gave Lakers to take on Russell??..If so, that's just amazing..Was Kuzma even on Nets radar if they had kept their pick and not trade for Dlo?..This kid Kuzma is looking good.

Yes, we also dumped Mozgov. Haha.

I just think DLo's responsibility on this team is wayyyy too big for the player he is. He is obviously not a number 1 option. He needs to be third option in order for his efficiency to go up. I think if he was given the role Jeff Teague was given in ATL he will be a lot more impactful as a player.

I think KA realizes this and is slowly giving the reign to LeVert who has the potential to be dominant if he can be better having the ball on his hands.

you talk about personal attacks after you called me a "fool" first.

okafor playing has very little to do with his defense... its his offense, offensive fit in the system, an conditioning that i s keepinig him off the floor. he want brought in as a defensive anchor. they need him to play pick and roll basketball and stretch the floor to stick.

you can 100% fix mental lapses... getting older/more mature usually fixes most of that.

i know he isnt athletic. that was my reasoning for why he likely wont become a great player. not some nonsense like "mental issues"

Cool it guys. Insulting each other isn't going to resolve anything.

It's never acceptable to personally attack someone, regardless of whether you are fed up with their methodology/style or responding to their personal attack. Just report it and let them deal with the consequences.

As long as no one is violating TOS or obviously trolling, we all have a right to post our thoughts and opinions.

The GM has stated multiple times that he was not even considering Kyle Kuzma. The idea that the Nets lost out on Kuzma to acquire Russell is utter bull **** and it's annoying.

this thread has become a cesspool and now a Lakers fan is trolling in plain sight.

Did LeVert look dominant to you last night? Every time we play a team with length LeVert gets shut down. Last night was a clear example of why I'm baffled as to why Russell gets dumped on every day on here while LeVert is treated way differently. Both of them are inconsistent as hell.

there is no one on this team that looks remotely dominant. the only one who has played their way to an extension is Hollis-Jefferson. I'm hoping we hit paydirt in the 2019 draft.

[IceManBK1]

DLO will alright if he shoots less 3s..90% of his bad shooting games are when he shoots like 10 3s. That's way too much. KA has nth ran for Dlo. No iso off the perimeter, in the post, not enough PnR, no off ball screens to free him. He doesn't know how to utilize his players skills. See Okafor, he's getting stashed away in the fridge being rendered useless.

How can dlo dominate when he's not allowed to shoot and play? His mins and shot attempt been scarce the fast fee games. Playing 6 mins and 19 mins last night baffles me.
