[LkrFan]

Laker Fans what is the word on DLo's reception back in LA?

I actually want him back, but I am extremely doubtful (hence my pivot to bringing in Killa).

Why? His agent Aaron Mintz (CAA) never had a good relationship with the Lakers, who are now in bed with Klutch.

This is the real reason why D'Lo was traded away the first time (not for switching :lol).

He wet the bed in the playoffs vs Jamal Murray so he not getting $30M that he wants from LA. So unless he comes back for say, $15M-$20M, that ship has sailed again. Hate to see it because I defended his honor on this board many a times.

He could have made it a no-brainer to bring him back. SMH

[MultiTroll]

He wet the bed in the playoffs
Hugely.
Based on that alone why should he come back?

[LkrFan]

Hugely.
Based on that alone why should he come back?
He's still a good player, good teammate, and I'm sure he will learn from it.

Jamal Murray cooked him though. He needs to take that personal. :lol

[MultiTroll]

and I'm sure he will learn from it.
10th year in.
All for learning up until one passes, but FFS the Lakeshow tying to get the most out of Lebrons final elite year(s) can't be having some learn on the job 10 year vet shitting the bed in a playoff series.

Very good season, he looked great lighting up weak D Curry, something I've been wanting Warrior opponents to do thruout the Warriors fake reign.
So props for that.

But WTH was with his vacation vs Denver?
Murry lightin him up is one thing. Having his balls turn into raisins on the offensive end -unacceptable.
Sounds like he's just happy being in the league and continuing to be massively overpaid.

Agreed. That's why I really think Killa is coming. Bron scored 31 frigging points at the half - AD was lethargic - and D'Lo wet the bed. Can't have that.

With Killa onboard, him and AD can do the regular season heavy lifting and we know Killa won't be shy in the playoffs. Besides, Bron trusts him.

For better or for worse, I am onboard with bringing Killa onboard.

[Extra Stout]

I fully support Killa to the Lakers

[The Gemini Method]

DLo played his way out of a top dollar contract with his 10 for 31 shooting effort vs. Denver. His lack of effort on the defensive end, so like Lkrfan mentioned if he takes less to come back great. He's not a viable trade chip, I don't particularly want Kyrie on the Lakers, but in the end of the day, I don't have any say in the matter. They need a better back-up to AD. Not sure if Bamba is that, but also someone who gives more while handling the ball to give LBJ (if he comes back) rest during the minutes most important.

Report: D’Angelo Russell was seeking 4-year deal worth over $100M before being dealt to Lakers

[Chris Fall]

Even with a bad playoffs, I think D'lo could still justify a $20-25M per deal. That's Malcolm Brogdon, Terry Rozier, Jalen Brunson money. Might be a slight overpay in the wake of his postseason. But the way max players are now getting paid, it's not egregious.

Problem is the Lakers already have two veteran supermax salaries on the payroll. Not like Boston with their two stars are still on their post rookie max extensions. Or Charlotte where the only big contract is Hayward and the rest of the payroll is reasonable. The Lakers have next to no flexibility if they add D'lo to the payroll even at $20M, and want to keep Reaves and Rui. Probably have to choose between those too and everybody else are min contracts.

[RC_Drunkford]

LeBron James may be growing ‘frustrated’ with superstar teammate Anthony Davis, and is over their pairing together. This comes from CBS Sports NBA Insider Bill Reiter, in an appearance on CBS Sports’ the Zach Gelb Show. “There is a power struggle going on between LeBron and GM Rob Pelinka… I think LeBron is over AD, and there’s a non zero chance he could get dealt this offseason.” (https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-lebron-james-frustrated-with-anthony-davis-over-pairing)

As long as James is there, + as long as James is hustling race we ain't goin' nowhere.

It would break his Black heart to have to win another one for White. It was touch & go on this last one as to whether he'd do it, or, let it lay spiting said White...

Yep, he was our kryptonite. We were damn lucky to get that last back-to-back. By then the salad days were over because of Cuban. We had the league's dregs as our "farm system" in a cozy deal, us and Boston and then here comes Cuban buying in down there and immediately going door-to-door (see Pop would just seethe)(Cuban had a plan in his back pocket for years before buying in) blowing the whistle on us and making (those owners) fully aware of (Federal Courts) if they didn't get out of our bed. He didn't go to the newspapers/media, he went straight to those owners and Stern musta cleared him to do so. But Stern had helped us in '85 by sending Strom to Boston for those Finals with explicit instructions: "Call it square, Earl."

But that 2020 ring is forever. While many other franchises are long term investors, the Lakers are day traders expecting immediate returns and will take a short term loss just to keep things interesting for fans.

It doesn't always work but they are the NBA bellwether like it or not. Celtics could be up one on you by the middle of June.

...and the kicker? I'd a taken that vs. the Suns. And never looked back at a Celtic #18. The Celtic/Lakers thing is over...UNTIL the Celtics get 18...then MSM will endeavor to resuscitate it. Will they be successful? I don't think so, but, I've been wrong before.

And we can't get off the snide of (day trading)...that's all we've known till Cuban showed up, blew the whistle and took our cookie. We scarfed up the last two with Kobe and the '20 one but we haven't transitioned to a future niche. It's fear, anger, regret, reality and rank stubbornness. Before we had a guarantee! We were going to be there, no matter what. No more. And it sickens the stomach of our group.

Ugh.

But I got the memories, and that's good enough for me. Always has been, but people don't look back like I do. They look one way, forward.

Had he at least stayed in there long enough to get that pension? I'm afraid to look it up.

ADDENDUM: Yeah, he got it. Thank Christ. All he has to do is live long enough to collect it.

ADDENDUM: Yeah, he can collect it at 45 years old. He maxed it out with that 10 year career. He's 40. Will he live 5 more years?

It's that damn Cuban, we were fine and dandy till he showed up. It ain't been the same since and it never will be like it was, Deads. He put the stopper in our bottle (we won that last back-to-back and he then took a rubber mallet and hammered that stopper down lock tight.) We had it all. A ring was always either very possible OR imminent, like clockwork. Now we're down with the dregs, with everybody else. Once you get used to being above the fray it's difficult from then on in to be dropped into same fray. I feel dirty and I don't like being around them. It's that same adage I've fightin' since puberty..."Things change, Dale, honey, nothing stays the same. You need to learn that, angel."

"Okay, ma."

...then I go to my room, have a good cry and testify to myself..."Bullshit! I'll make it stay the same." 60+ years later? "Things change, Dale, won't you ever learn that, sweetheart? I'll make you cornbread, okay hon. That'll make ya feel better."

Okay, Girl. I appreciate it. And I won't complain about things changing anymore."

Come in here where you guys "are"...check the doorway and then vow in a whisper. "Bullshit! I'm stoppin' that clock if it's the last thing I do on earth."...then lift my voice to the kitchen area..."What time do you think my cornbread will be ready, angel? And don't burn it. Love you."

Then to this CPU screen. "I wonder if I have a stick of Land O Lakes Butter ready in there, Dale?"

"Oh, puddin'head!"

Damn. One West went six feet under, the other went south.

Another 5 years when he turns 45 that NBA pension kicks in and his is maxed.

If he can survive that long.
