Did you go on a jog with Markelle recently? He played 36 minutes a game.

Except when he's on Jimmy Kimmel and says that he can beat Jordan 1 on 1, right?

There is ZERO change that we trade Dlo for just the #3 pick. Why would we give away the best player on the team for the #3 pick that could be a bust? As for throwing in the #28, Magic isnt giving away the team and picks?
If we trade Dlo, we are getting more than just the #3 back. It has to be a minimum 2 first round picks and possibly swaping of other players on top. The Lakers FO doesnt mind trading Clarkson but if we are trading one of the foundation for the Lakers, we better be getting some sweet deal.
Thank you. I don't understand our fans' assessment of players' value makes any sense. It's freaking ridiculous. Dlo has way more value than the crap I see posted here. I'm down to trade him too but not for peanuts.
I'd say there are a lot of homer goggles with DLo. Look at the facts.. He's slow, not athletic, not even quick, immature, high turn over pg. People claim he is a "shooter" but he shot like 35% from three this year. He got a loose handle and makes bad decisions with the ball causing lot of turn overs. He has to play like a Wiley vet to score because he can't blow by or shake by anyone.(like a poor man's old Sam cassell) Only way he can score is in pick n rolls. And did I mention hes immature?
Dlo was a miss, Porzingis was the right pick. If Pelinka can correct Mitch's mistake from couple years ago by getting a second pick into the top half of this year's lotto then he HAS to do it. Like I said before, this is probably the last year we get high value for him based on potential. Otherwise he has to show something next year. Show consistency and a 40% three.. He can't keep having 18 pt games followed up by 6 pt games with five tos. If Dlo struggles next year then we can only trade him for peanuts after..

I prefer Ball, Jackson & Ingram to
Ball, Russel & Ingram as the core.
Jackson is by the best defender and the best motor.
Though Russell is a good shooter he is 6 -5 Not 6 -6 with long arms.
A good defender can shut him down if needed. But, can he shut down a great shooter?
Long term Ball /Jackson is greater than Ball/Russell
Shooters can be found in free agency or through the draft.
Lakers need to improve their quickness and defense.

LA getting prepared if Ball gets drafted by Boston. Fultz, surely is number 2 on their list.

Lakers need to improve their shooting too, not make it worse. Trading a guy with AS potential for a defensive specialist is insanity.

Feel like at best this is Boston trying to see if they can spook you guys into giving something up for 1. Would be shocked if Fultz didn't end up in Boston/Ball in LA.
