There might be a lot of conditions to this, but generally speaking - would you like to see DLo in a Laker uniform again?

Assuming Kawhi says no and Kyrie says no, then yes. I Might take Butler ahead of D'lo and the option of spreading that money around sounds smart but I am moving to a place where I take Russell over those options.
Without a doubt I take him over Kemba.
So the answer is yes depending on who else we can't get. |

If he's the best player we can sign. Sure.

I am not an insider and don’t claim to be one. I do know someone that was close to the DLO situation when he was here though. I’m not going to dig through my old posts, but I did mention back in the day that one of DLOs problems with our FO was his partying (Marjuana, Alchohol...etc.).
Here is what I’ve been told by this person who is in the know
- DLO was extremely unpopular amongst the Lakers staff. They felt he was arrogant and moped around a lot when his shortcomings were pointed out.
- He, Clarkson and Swaggy liked to party...like too much. Late nights at clubs, lots of women, lots of substances. It really rubbed a lot of people internally the wrong way as they felt he didn’t put enough work in and wasn’t serious enough about winning.
- especially after the awaggy incident, our FO strongly believed that we would have zero chance of acquiring any decent FAs as long as DLO was here.
Now he very well may have matured and he had a good season last year. Anyone giving him the max is taking a huge gamble on a non athletic guy who is a league average shooter who plays poor defense and may still have maturity issues. For the Lakers, I think we should pass....a team with little talent that is desperate and not a FA destination, maybe...but he is very very unlikely to outplay a max contract. I voted no, but I do hope he succeeds...either here for somewhere else. |

IF Kawhi says no and IF we can sign DLo with enough money leftover for a 3 and D starter-level guard alongside him, then yes.

What's funny is that these were legitimate gripes about him from Laker fans a few years ago.
I'd love him back if the team can't get Kawhi or Kyrie. Kyrie looks Brooklyn bound alongside KD albeit a lesser extent.
Kawhi is the one no one knows about. Feel like we have a shot at him and he should be priority number 1.
I was able to catch a good amount of Brooklyn games. He has his flaws such as athleticism, finishing at the rim (was only 50% at the rim 200/400, which is low volume as well), drawing free throws, but he grew tremendously as well. I don't think his midrange efficiency was a fluke at all. Lowe brings this up. He's not sure if Dlo can sustain his midrange efficiency. Watching him this season, I don't think those shots were flukey. It's his game.
Also, no exaggeration, he's a top 5-10 passer/playmaker in the league already, at 23. I can't imagine him how good he'd be with talented players around him. Brooklyn wouldn't be getting all this buzz if it weren't for him.
