[Fischer] Early indications are that Russell and the Lakers could come to terms on a two-year, $40 million deal with the second year a team option or non-guaranteed. Also look for Cam Reddish as a potential addition to the Lakers on the veteran’s minimum.

  2. That’s probably not a bad deal. Still a tradeable contract if it doesn’t work out.

    We have to bring him back if there’s no viable sign and trades, cuz we won’t be able to replace him if we just let him walk.

  6. Basically an expiring 20 million contract, very tradable. Can we make it an extension so we wouldn’t have to wait until the end of December if we wanted to trade him.

  11. Decent yearly number. Sets up perfectly for a trade at the deadline.

  16. This is an excellent deal for both sides imo. Super tradable contract and Dlo had no other suitors. He’s going to be really really useful for the regular season.

  17. 20 mil a year is a great deal for Dlo and a extremely tradable contract. How crazy would it be if Russ Westbrook returned tho LOL

  18. Great deal if it gets done. A couple million more than I thought he would get per year, but we are buying ourselves some insurance. It’s also super tradeable at the deadline, if need be.

  19. For the love of god, do NOT sign Cam Reddish. That dude is done. He can’t shoot, barely defends and just lacks any motor.

    There is a reason he is getting passed around.

  23. It is a fair price for someone that could give us 5 10 victories without LeBron or AD having to exert themselves too much during regular season.

  26. I am very low on DLo after than Denver series but honestly this would be a good deal for both DLo and the Lakers.

    Lakers get a PG who can shoot and offer help during the regular season while giving DLo one more chance to be more impactful during the playoffs. At the same time get some continuity back. At worst if it doesn’t work out, they can always trade him.

  27. I’m telling you, he’s going to play like shit and be a dogshit contract that no one else will want and we’ll give up assets to get rid of it

  28. Honestly, 20 mil with an out in year 2 is a really solid deal for a player that produces in the regular season like DLo. That’s a super trade-able contract at midseason to if we decide to go that route.

    There will be worse players who sign for more this offseason.

  30. Yeah he fell off in the WCF, but I like that we’re sticking with him. Give him at least one off season to develop some chemistry, and hopefully this means we’re both trading for Kyrie

  31. thats an alright number. people just remember how terrible he was on conf finals but before that he was solid

  32. Fine with it, but you have to wonder can he even get $20m a year in the open market? Detroit now lost most their cap space too.

  33. Reminder that despite WCF he saved us with some big quarters/spurts on earlier rounds, that + regular season is worth it

  34. $20 million is simply too much for Russell. There’s no teams with cap space offering him near that.

  37. Clippers making Zubac available, interesting option for us since we need a big, allways loved Zu when he played here, wonder how much Clippers will ask for him.
