But Dlo is so amazing...... we keep being told. Had an amazing season that contributed to so much of the lakers success and many wins. If anything, based on what the fans and the media keep saying, Dlo to Murray would be a downgrade for the lakers. Dlo and reaves basically the best backcourt in the league by a wide margin
