He gone
I can only pray Boston makes him a good offer, that would be the time Dlo will gave me something to enjoy.
I remember watching dlo crying on the bench days before the trade deadline and thought to myself “no way this dude about to finesse himself out of a trade.” Then hours later there were sooo many laker fans feeling sorry for him begging lakers to keep him.
He was decent during regular season, but you kind of can see him not giving a fuck this series, dude probably realizes he is done here.
Is he even going to get as much as he’s making currently in the open market?
Fuck it. Start the Max Christie, JHS transition
We are in cap hell regardless of him staying or leaving, right? Or am I mistaken? Which means it would be good for us to sign him and trade him as opposed to letting him walk? Someone correct me here!
That really sucks for us because we need his expiring money for a trade tbh
If D’Lo wants a long-term deal, he’s probably has to take a pay cut with the way he played in the playoffs (again).
On the Lakers side, the best thing he can do is pick up his option. That would give them a decently sized expiring contract to trade.
He needs to go to a non-playoff team out of the bright lights.
Lbj is most likely gone as well. Him playing for the warriors is a real possibility.
In that case I really hope AD just requests out and we blow it all up and rebuild with whatever we get for AD.
He’s probably going to get the MLE from some team unless Orlando really wants him.
This is also not good for us because if he opts out that means we could start the season with no PG. We don’t have the salary to just sign a free-agent specially if Lebron gets his extension
Hilarious, now we can’t even use his salary in a trade. Masterclass in asset management by Pelinka.
Good he’s an Orlando Magic/ Charlotte level player
I know he’s playing like shit but losing him for nothing is terrible asset management
There are 82 game players and 16 game players and frankly you need both. DLO is a huge reason we even make the playoffs.
Can we just bench him game 4. Windhorst is probably just making a smart guess, but if this was leaked by D Lo’s camp he doesn’t deserve to play Saturday.
Yes!
He’ll be a Hornet next season
Lmao. If you’re leaking this now, should just sit out the last game. What a bum
Awww noo what are we gunna do to replace his 0 points he produces?
DLo had a terrible game last night. Overall he’s had a great season for us. Not sure what free agent will replace him to duplicate those numbers.
Spurs feel like a landing spot for him that makes the most sense.
Hopefully the property brothers pick him up, he’d help them a lot with his brick throwing specialty.
Dlo to the British basketball league
👋
Imo this series lost him money, he might wanna buy in and either run it back or request a trade. His weaknesses are so glaring he is basically a taller but more inconsistent Trae Young.
Dudes trash lol
He has a couple of good games where he is forced to take shots
Bro you’re in the league…when you’re open you take the shots
Bye.
Who cares, he can go. Dude a no show when lights the brightest
Good riddance
He quit on the team last night. Let him walk
Lights got too bright again for ol D lo
Good. Glad he had a good second half of the season but him disappearing the playoffs has killed this team two years in a row
He’ll probably go to Miami or Golden State. Both teams could use shooting.
I just hope they don’t do something stupid and sign TRAsEh Young. He’s horrible and when the NBA players all voted him as the most overrated player in consecutive years…well, that tells the whole story!
He’s definitely gonna have suitors. Spurs and Magic come to mind
Said it at the deadline, said it last night and I’ll say it now. Regardless of how he played should have traded him for murray.
Orlando will sign this guy no question.
After his zero point performance I doubt he will get a contract worth more money. He’s a regular season player who doesn’t perform in the playoffs. No team wants that in the modern NBA.
Good, he’s an unserious player
He won’t get much. Can’t perform when it matters.
Hear me out guys… how does lonzo sound on this lakers squad rn instead of dlo…
It’s been a fun ride in the Lebron era. Wish he had a better FO but at least we didn’t come out empty handed.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, fuck Dlo.
He ain’t going to get 10 million on the open market I bet so he better take that 18 million. Nobody wants a guy that can’t play in the playoffs. Unless his shot goes in, he’s completely useless.
