Re: Official D'Angelo Russell Thread
Not giving up on D'Angelo. I still have a TON of hope for him. This season was funky. Came out strong, injured, came back in a funk, showed flashes here and there, learning LOTS from KA not catering to him and being strict on him... I'll take the L this season with D'Angelo. I believe he'll continue to improve and that we shouldn't give up on him.
The way it's looking now he's not going to get anything near a max contract, but he's still got time to prove himself.

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
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"
You did it the other night too usually I don't respond to you.

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.
How is it bs that's what happened?
The Brooklyn Nets have acquired D’Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Brook Lopez and the rights to Kyle Kuzma, the 27th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

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.
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.
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.
He doesn’t have the tools to be an effective offensive juggernaut and it shows. This is why KA is so strict with him. He needs to be able to learn to play within the system. Meaning that he needs to hit his shots when he is suppose to (he doesn’t) and he needs to learn how to control the tempo of the game (not look for home run plays every opportunity he gets the ball on his hands). He just gotta take advantage of who he is as a player and put the rest of his effort on the defensive end and he will be a very good player.
It doesn’t make sense giving him reigns when he is an integral part of the future of this team. Kenny needs to discipline his game because it’s obvious he can’t carry a winning team by himself. We don’t want him to be a leader of a tank commanding because he will create consistent bad habits. To put it simply the goal of this season is for him play discipline so he be a part of the bigger picture.

to be fair, Pop had to keep Tony Parker on a string for his entire career - to the point where the Spurs actively shopped Parker at times, but the two were able to win championships together
not saying Dlo is the next Parker, but the Ginobli comparison has been made before

This is exactly what I mean. Let’s be real outside of Parker’s name he was just an above average PG whose talent is comparable to players like mike Conley or Jeff Teague. Dlo needs to realize this. He can be a great contributor being a very good player.

That's fair, but I doubt it's gonna happen. In all likelihood, Marks can foreseeable build a good team with Din, LeVert, Dlo, & Lin, but by the time D'Angelo develops and his agents are ready for the bag, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to get traded. Our only hope is that Dlo and Crabbe show enough development for us to get a legitimate haul for them, like moving up in next year's draft to get RJ Barrett

Kuzma was drafted on the Lakers behalf to complete the deal. The Nets wouldn't have drafted him otherwise.
This notion that we foolishly traded away a first round steal is intellectually dishonest.

I don't understand your point. The Nets were NEVER thinking about Kuzma, although they TECHNICALLY drafted him on the Lakers behalf. Just let this one go.

Am I the one that is being accused of trolling??..I frankly didn't know whether Kuzma was on their radar if the Dlo trade was not available to them...But even if Kuzma was not on the Nets board, that's still a bad look for the Nets and a great look for the Lakers because they were able to not only identify talent at the #27 pick but also traded a guy who was drafted #2 overall to get the rights to draft him at such a low position
If Kuzma were to go ahead and become a perennial All Star in the future and Dlo failed to match that, you won't be able to dismiss the fact that the Nets did drafted him and than traded him for Dlo.
From that point on, their fate are forever tied up, whether you want to admit it or not..Nets should win this trade because Dlo is a #2 overall pick and Kuzma is a #27.

first of all, I wasn't talking about you. i was talking about the lakers fan who came into this thread trolling. if you feel that label applies to you, maybe i hit a little close to home?
and for **** 's sake, the entire LEAGUE whiffed on Kuzma. No one had him high on their draft board. NO ONE. Go back and look at the draft coverage for last year, Kyle Kuzma was not on anyone's radar. The Nets GM admitted that they did not even consider him, they drafted him solely to fulfill a bargain with the Lakers.
It's not a **** ing bad look. No one had this kid scouted properly outside of the Lakers because in reality he should have gone into the draft as a top 5.
kind of like how your analysis of RHJ awhile back looks really foolish right now...sometimes, certain things can't be predicted. I'm not going to hold the trade against the Nets staff especially since the player in question was never on their radar to begin with. The Lakers deserve tons of credit for scouting him properly. that's where it ends.

Kyle Kuzma was never going to be a Net regardless of the trade.
You're agreeing with a troll.
are you even a fan of this team? or are you one of the stragglers that my guy Jeremy Lin has attracted here? fair question.
and i say my guy because Lin is looking good in his workouts and i look forward to him playing again with the squad.

If Kuzma were to go ahead and become a perennial All Star in the future and Dlo failed to match that, you won't be able to dismiss the fact that the Nets did drafted him and than traded him for Dlo.
From that point on, their fate are forever tied up, whether you want to admit it or not..Nets should win this trade because Dlo is a #2 overall pick and Kuzma is a #27.
That's such a dumb take that makes no sense. The Nets didn't draft him, the Lakers did. Our scouting department is just that good

LAKER FAN FOR LIFE
RIP Kobe and Gigi
