We have three or four agenda driven posters who are very aggressive and post multiple times a day. We all know who they are. They constantly get their facts wrong. That's because they really don't care about anything except bashing particular players, so they assume that anything which makes the player they want to bash look bad is true. |

Good game by DLo. Plays with so much poise as a ball handler and very effective as a shooter off the ball as well.
Anyone saw DLo and AR "too small" celebration recreated on the sidelines? It was hilarious. 😂 They showed it on Bulls broadcast.

He can defer if he needs to or he can put up numbers when the game calls for it.

I'm so proud of DLo. You can see the growth in his game and his maturity on the court. He plays even keeled and makes smart plays. He made some smart defensive plays out there too, and he's pretty effective at stripping his defender when beat.
He forced Caruso into a bad airball with his excellent rotation defensively that took Caruso by surprise.
I don't remember DLo finishing this well when he was with us, he must have added that to his game because now he feels like the anti Fisher around the rim, just making all kinds of shots around the basket. |

I notice that he's been finishing strong as well, making up for his below average athleticism with his craftiness. Certainly a nice change from Russ and PatBev who often looked awkward at the rim.

Whether you like him or don’t…whether you think he’s a core piece or could be flipped later for one…you utilizes your resources far more effectively by keeping him (and all our other FAs) on the roster, to flip em for another day, rather than renounce all their rights and lose them for 30-35m in cap space.
You gotta do what makes sense, instead of doing what makes the owners cent$.

Great stats, and meaningful stats because he compliments LBJ's and AD's games, rather than taking away from it. DLO and Reaves can both create offense for themselves and for others, and both can thrive with or without the ball in their hands. |

While he is awesome, this specific time it was due to Ham's brain-dead hockey subs. |

Russell just feels like the calm in the storm for us. No matter what role he's playing out there, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, point guard, combo guard, primary playmaker, secondary playmaker, third playmaker. He just seems to fit and whenever things are going awry he seems to bring it back to Earth for us in a positive way. He's been a fantastic fit and feels like a perfect puzzle piece fit for the team.
Holding onto him is a must. I get similar feelings I got when we got Pau back in 2008 with how perfectly he just blended into what we were trying to do and everything seemed to work and flow so much easier because of it.

Small sample size since he has been hurt quite a bit since being acquired. His on/off court stats are ridiculous though as a Laker.
DLO: +13.9
AD: +4.2
Lebron: +4.2
Reaves: +3.2
Schroder: +2.5
Rui: -0.3
Wenyen: -0.3
Brown: -0.6
Malik: -2.1
Vanderbilt: -2.4
Mo: -4
Christie: -7.3
Lonnie: -7.4
He's doing something right. |

If you dig really really deep into this thread, I bet you'll find a few posts from me saying that DLO would be an ideal #3 on a championship level team. Probably said this around 2016sh. He had all those skills you would want on offense and at PG enough size to switch over defensively on bigger guards.
The main concern with AD/Bron/DLO is health. Not any of them based on recent years (last 3) have shown they will stay healthy enough. But when healthy, the chemistry and skill level their is insane.
To win a ring though, I think we need (obviously health), good strong playoff coaching, and at least 1 other elite defensive player in that group that is not a liability shooting the ball. Vandy is a liability on offense shooting the ball, the better defensive teams will cheat off AD/Vandy. |

| This is what Lebron and the front office envisioned with the ill-advised Schroeder trade and the disastrous Westbrook trade. A PG that could lessen Lebron's offensive load and run the offense competently when he's on the bench or sidelined with an injury. |

Really, that says more about the bench than it does about Russell. Schroder just didn't have anything going last night.
