The D'Angelo Russell Thread

[moss_is_1]

I'm pretty sure D'Anglo is DLo Have you fans heard of any teams that might be a landing spot?

I'm not sure I get the joke?

Anyway, I'm sure there's a couple of teams that would be interested. Wolves have to be careful though. Dlo is a good player, paid too much. Has made improvements and defense and at times showed how valuable he was offensively, just not enough. At the end of the day he is an expiring contract, and we are a team that needs him. This draft is horrible for PG's, free agency doesn't seem that realistic to get anyone either. That leaves internal(Pat Bev or Jmac) to replace him, or trading Dlo for improvement elsewhere and hope that combined with more of a traditional PG works better.

The RealGM headline read D'anglo instead of D'Angelo which I found funny.

But back to your thoughts on DLo, it sounds like you are thinking the team should keep him next season and let him become a FA?

Haven’t heard anything, no. And I wouldn’t be too surprised if they just ran it back and chalked up his play to a bad series.

Most of us know that’s not good enough though so we’re hoping they’re aggressive in trying to upgrade him/the roster overall.

Russell + Twolves 2022 1st round pick

For

Randle + Walker + Knicks 2022 2nd round pick

[Neeva]

Gross Randle sucks and no one is giving up a first round pick for him and his horrendous contract.

[jscott]

Russell + Twolves 2022 1st round pick

For

Randle + Walker + Knicks 2022 2nd round pick

No thanks. Not interested in Randle at all.

While a trade doesn't necessarily have to be a 1-for-1 deal, I think it's important to have the required figures for fans to understand the players we're talking about in a deal. In trades involving salaries over 19.6 million, the requirement is 125% + 100,000 in order to be a legal trade. If Russell is the only Minnesota salary involved, that means we can take back anywhere from $25,022,200 to $39,322,187.

i think Rosas might be trying to pry Dlo away to Knicks..he was in the building during the playoffs right. And dlo is Rosas' guy. Maybe Cam Reddish, Mitchell Robinson+2 1st for Dlo and Beasley.

[Rookie-Mistake]

We don't need him.

With the contract statuses of Russell, Beasley and Reddish, for this trade to be legal, Robinson would have to be signed-and-traded for a longterm contract starting at a minimum of $31,434,174.

How much power does Rosas have? He's just a consultant for the Knicks, not their GM or POBO.

add Evan Fournier..he can shoot, will be better fit next to edwards and towns cuz he's better at catch and shoot than dlo.

I want him gone, just not a fan of his game. I just don't see much out there to upgrade the PG spot.

I'd be open to trading him to improve the PF/C spot, then letting Bev, Jmac, and a 3rd pg handle that spot. I hope our front office is smart about an extension, for the right price I'm not against it. I don't want them just maxing him to make KAT happy.

Yuck. I'd rather take Kemba and Burks or Noel than touch Fournier.

If Kat needs dlo here to be happy, kat needs to go. build around Ant. Get a ton of assets for kat and get pg and bigs of the future.

I'd rather let him walk at the end of next season than trade him away for another massive, problem contract like Randle's.

I actually think there's a very good chance he's still on the team until maybe the deadline, where we look to unload him to a team that's interested in the space or willing to have a look at him. Whilst we mostly seem to be in agreement that we'd like him gone, the team managed to get the 7th seed (and should've finished higher) with him on the roster, and it was really only come play-off time that he got absolutely exposed.

If we need to run it back with him for half a season I can live with it, rather than mortgaging our future with another crappy contract or by giving away further first rounders.

[Klomp]

Maybe some possible trades for Russell could be...

Hawks for Collins/Hueter
Knicks for Randle/Toppin
Pelicans for Valanciunas/Graham
Pistons for Grant/Hayes
Rockets for Wood/Gordon

just some ideas.Any of those trades or more would upgrade this team for next year.

Another team I've thought about is Cleveland, to pair Russell back up with Allen.

[Howard Cosell]

Knicks will target D-Lo.

Twolves need to GET BIGGER!!!

Randle has to be in the deal.
