Shake will have a role, or forced to have a role cause we ain't playing the Kings every night. AR will still struggle with ball pressure. DfS will shoot 35% from three as a Laker, which is his career average anyway. So he backs up Rui or Lebron? I actually don't mind the trade. D'Lo didn't seem interested in making shots this year. Lol.

The league is moving more towards more guard play and for all the inconsistency in DLO he was still a more valuable piece imo. |
DLO is redundant with Gabe Vincent stepping up, Dalton Knecht here, Max Christie turning into our 3 and D guard, and Austin Reaves doing literally everything better than DLO tried to do here.
DLO has been getting worse and worse every game he’s played here this season. I became sick and tired of his 3 for 9 games or him just doing cardio nowadays. I also didn’t want to see more of playoff DLO.
He needed to be traded. That’s just a fact. What we need is a Center BADLY. Without that, we aren’t contenders. |
umm wasnt Gabe a couple of weeks ago getting clowned for just doing cardio?
Mooo Never..ohhh by the way...Gabe got hurt soooo more TOs and LAKANG ISO to come  |

| Weird Trade. We were starting to gel, now with DFS, Rui or Christie goes back to the bench and we lose one our better ball handlers. This move screams back to Lebron ball. |

Don't feed into that guy's comments, he's just salty DLo got traded. He'll get over it. |

DLO's a much better 3 point shooter though I realize you're joking.
I can already see the future of LG:
DLO goes on a typical DLO heater for a month or so, maybe shoots 45-100 in that stretch. His 3FG% regresses to ~38%
DFS's 3FG% regresses to his 36-37% average.
Some people complain about losing DLO and his 3 point shot making
Someone replies DLO always cooks on bad teams, he's a losing player
Someone replies DLO set the Lakers' franchise record for 3s last year
Someone replies he's unreliable in the playoffs anyway so who cares
Round and round LG goes |

Nice get. Can't wait to see DFS + Christie team up out there for some much needed wing defense.
If anyone gets their minutes cut it will be Rui. |

Rob in the club making it rain with 2nd rd. Picks. How do we have so many? He traded 3 seconds for Rui, right ?

This guy and Rui feel redundant to me. Getting rid of D-Lo and getting anything back that could be useful off the bench is a huge positive though.
Austin Reaves and Lebron running PG is certainly something…it still feels like are too slow at that spot |

I like it.. but I'll like it less if there's not a trade or two more coming.
DFS can be on the floor at the end of a playoff game in a way DLO can't. Rui's been great.. but still has issues with some 3s on D. This should solve that.
Wonder what's next. |

If you have a focused DLo who wasn't passive aggressively f*cking the team, he's the best player in the trade.
That version of DLo is better than Reaves.
But I haven't seen that version of DLo in awhile so I'm at peace with losing him because he was gone no matter what because of his attitude.
On the other hand, people keep acting like Reaves getting 16 dimes was a fluke.
I didn't even think he played that well and he still came up with a game like that.
I don't think Reaves can do that against a team like Detroit, where every player is athletic with a 7 foot wingspan. But I think he can do that against most teams.
We wanted some more athleticism and length over skill.
Let's see if this tips the scales in any meaningful way. |

Not redundant at all. DFS is more of a SF than PF and Rui is the other way around. DFS can guard quicker wings, and Rui can guard stronger wings. |

He was always a lazy idiot. |

Getting bigger and more athletic will only help us. This is how we were successful in 2020. Not saying to pencil us in for the finals but it’s a step in the right direction |

No he wasnt..he did what they asked him to do and didnt blow up and was the playmaker on the team and setup the offense. Had less TO than AR and LAKANG and thats facts. Also shot more and made more threes that anyone that suited up for the lakers in reg season..Sorry thats facts. So you can hate alll ya want but those are facts. Maybe you the lazy one when it comes to the numbers and facts,,,hmnmnmm, |

I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but passive aggressive seems to nail it. That actually means we're giving him the benefit of the doubt, that he is actually a better player, and that there is something going on with him. The alternative is... he's sucks, and out of prime at 28. Which narrative is better?
