If you were a good player, maybe the lakers organization wouldn't be laughing at you and showing their true thoughts even post trade when they have nothing to gain. No humility, no hunger, no IQ. We dumped our cute girlfriend (BroLo) and dove on a grenade (not even for the boys smh lol). Praying he's gone by Christmas

I reckon we keep Dlo but let Kswiss go asap.
While you're not a mod, to be fair I know I'm early on D-Lo and have seen more of his game than most here and not everyone else is ready to run him out of town yet, but I'll hold off on the D-Lo hating until we see more Nets games next season and it becomes more evident. Right now to many hopeful Nets fans, it probably just looks like I'm blowing hot air. I just was really put off by his lack of character in that interview, and hoping his mindset would have changed. Maybe KA can shape him up. But I dunno maybe some guys are just bad apples

you are delusional if you think that interview showed anything resembling lack of charecter. nevermind he has been in the gym twice a day every day since he got to the nets. i guess that shows poor work ethic somehow.
you "holding off" on hating him is irrelevant. you will find something to hate on no matter what. he'll score 30 and you'll call him selfish. he will drop 10dimes you'll hate on his defense. he will hit a game winner and you'll say lin carried us to get him in position to get that last bucket.
you dont like him. your LinSecure TM thats fine just keep the irrational stuff in the lin thread

D'Angelo Russell is triggering you dudes, and I am loving every second of it. Lord help you all when this kid drops a 40 point bomb sometime this season, your brains might just shut down from despair. Your anxiety and panic amuses me to no end.

Brook shooting threes had nothing to do with how horrible we were on the defensive glass.
make or not make, our biggest big constantly pulled away from the paint had a influence in our rebounding woes.
now i see u typed defensive... mmmmmmmmmmmm whatever lol

Russell isn't without flaws, both in character and in skill. What we're hoping is that he gets to improve in both areas in this environment and I genuinely believe that he will.
I agree that we should give him a clean slate and give him a fair chance, afterall he's going to be here for awhile and is the future of this team.
He deserves more than a fair chance but we need to stop acting like he's some juvenile delinquent or ex-con. The only flaws I care for us to fix is on the court stuff like his efficiency and defense. He's a kid that will learn about life which will make him mature on his own time off the court. My experiences at 21 forced me to grow up faster.
It's a little annoying reading these posts all over about his character being poor when this is the same franchise that had a guy by the name of J-Kidd who used to beat his wife. He wasn't 21 either.
Lance Stephenson didn't even get nearly this much attention for pushing his pregnant girlfriend down a flight of stairs before his rookie season. He apologized and suddenly all is forgotten. Stephenson was supposedly an awful locker room cancer after the Pacers traded for Evan Turner. Yet, he was brought back to Indiana.

Yeah. Dude recorded a known moron bragging about cheating on his girlfriend and stupidly uploaded it. Immature and foolish, but not a criminal act.
Guys put more stock into him being a snitch than the actions of a man who slapped his wife in the face in front of his child. That speaks volumes to me.
This kid gets a clean slate here...for every post I read about his "poor character" I cringe. He's not a criminal, nor should he be treated like one.

There's even a weird-as-hell "kinship" from having played for and been mostly tossed aside by that team.
Lin is thriving while healthy. I fully expect Dloading to do the same.
Cheers to that.

He reminds me of Paul Pierce with his style of play. nowhere near as big physically obv. but his style is slow, not very athletic, and kind of clunky at times, but it works. crafty.
Brandon Roy to me was also like that. He'd score on you in ways that didn't really rely on mind blowing athleticism.
