He's opting out and some teams are going to offer him the bag because of his regular season #s |
His market isn’t high because a lot of locker rooms don’t like Dlo. |
Doesn’t it go back to DLo’s rookie year when he told Nick Young’s girlfriend that Nick was cheating on her or something. I know it was something stupid |
Yes... the FO pairing him with Nick Young was the worst thing that ever happened to him. To me, it was never the filming incident-- it was the things that led up to it. It was the fact that they surrounded him with clowns who never took the game seriously. |
Him throwing fits and making faces and complaining about Rudy also hurt him too. On a winning team he was causing issues. They then got a grown man to be the point and have not looked back or lost the locker room |

The writing is on the wall. If he opts in Lakers will trade him. |

But he will opt out forcing us to sign and keep him until January |

I rooted for him all year. Defended him in this thread over and over again. And even now I wish him the best luck.

I am also a DLO stan but this was just a (bleep) tier performance |
This is Van Exel all over again. All that flash, a one time all star nod, front running during the season, and when expectations became great he pissed himself.
You need a Fisher out there if you were the lakers later on. In the wolves case you need a Conley. And in our case, pelinka was not wrong, you needed a Murray. |

To beat Denver, we need a guy with the intangibles of those two but much more upside. |

We probably can win a game with brick instead of DLO, |

If we had D'Lo under contract, Im 90% sure we would deal him this offseason just like West did with Van Exel. Problem is that contract prevents this to where we wont be able to deal him this offseason |

He had zero market outside of us last summer. Can’t imagine it will be robust this summer. He’s opting in.

There will be more teams with salary space this summer, so there is a chance, but my gut says he opts in and lakers trade him and rui for a star |

| Also to be clear, I dont place this blame necessarily on D'Lo per se. Its just that in the playoffs, we need a guy who can provide that dribble penetration and provide more athleticism at the guard spot since LBJ isnt quite that automatic bucket driving the ball anymore |

The only positive I see is that Dlo had little market last year and this one has been worse. The comments he made about Denis, then the Hawks fan section with signs saying please don’t trade for him, and then pissing himself after telling the press watch what he does the Nuggets in game 3. Add that to the Nick Young stuff. Then top it off with the wolves labeling him as a poor teammate and causing problems with Rudy last year which is why they wanted Conley. And you got a low market.
He may have to opt in just because he can’t 18mil for 1 year from another team. He can probably get a 3 for 40 but he’s hurt his stock |

In hindsight Murray may have been a better option.

Him opting in would be the best thing for the Lakers. But D'Lo is not an idiot. He knows opting in means a definite trade and its hard to say he cant get better than a one year deal worth around $18 million since he is still a starting caliber point guard who is young and had a good season. |

7 shots is crap by the way. He should have done better no doubt but when you take him off ball and he gets 4 and then 3 shots in an entire half dude is going to struggle. Not all on DLo. Ham scapegoated him again.
Either way I think this team has run its course. Not expecting him back next season. |

DLO was hot garbage today but Darvin didnt help him one bit.
Its very clear to me that DLO and LeBron cannot coexist unfortunately

At 17.5 million, he's a negative asset. He's a full MLE player in this CBA. You don't get above that if you're basically completely unplayable in the playoffs. |

ehhh....I felt the whole team let go of the rope and it was apparent during the third quarter. For the first time, it was obvious it wasn't an execution issue as much as it was an energy issue. Had they kept the energy, there would have been an opportunity for a real comeback but the fight frankly wasnt there |
