Don’t worry about it bro…
*We know we can’t fill his salary slot out right if he walks.. hopefully he opts in and is traded, but best for both parties if we end this experiment yesterday.

False. You can sign and trade someone away without having to shed salary. It's only when you receive a player via sign and trade that you get hard-capped and may have to shed salary.

Leads to the point of not being able to do a double sign and trade.
And also teams looking for DLo won’t be trading the Lakers useful rotation players.

It honestly doesn't matter, he doesn't have really any value around the league anyway which is why he had to take the one year deal at a lesser salary as well as not get the veto trade clause which is usually a staple in those type of deals.
In the sense that we wouldn't be able to aggregate that salary slot in any potential deal sure that hurts, but they're going to have to do an overhaul anyway which includes multiple assets and players (AR, Rui, Vincent and Vando, picks are all on the table) to make the splash they are going to try to do. Atlanta already didn't want D'Lo at the deadline, that's not going to change in the next 2 months.

I blame Mitch and Jim for drafting this Dlo-wn in the first place and making him an NBA player. He couldn’t blow by Boris Diaw his rookie year. I remember!

I remember shortly after the Warriors were eliminated from the play-in, their fan base was up in arms about have Trayce Jackson-Davis didn’t play much and that was why they lost… let’s be better Laker Nation and not do the same thing with JAXSON FREAKING HAYES man.

how about we give max Christie some minutes
I’ve been soooooo disappointed with Reaves & Rui. I knew what to expect with Dlo but the other 2 no-showing has killed me. Can’t wait to dangle AR/RUI/VINCENT + 3 first rounders for Mitchell or Trae lol

Rui is really good at abusing guards or guys too small to guard him. He’ll back them down, put them in the low post and get a dunk, layup, or short range shot at high efficiency. Not singling Rui out, He’s out-matched with Jokic having 50lbs+ 4+ inches on him

They've been recovering from that trade since. Depth and team chemistry. Killed a perennial contender in one fell swoop.

At peace knowing it's one more game and there will be a scorched earth catharsis shortly after and my work off-season is that much closer.

Have you seen him do any of this at all this series? He hasn’t been guarded by Joker the complete time..probably not even most of the time if we keeping it 100.
He’s played 3 games, let’s just say about 100 minutes total and hasn’t grabbed a single rebound and has 2 assists. I mean to give a little context Austin has played similar minutes (a few more to be fair) but has 4 offensive rebounds. And no offense but, well hey we know his physical limitations….

I’ve been cracking jokes all day.
None of this fazes me in the slightest bit… I’m not a fan of this roster so burn it all down except for AD

Rui has poor feel and IQ, which shows in the lack of assists and even rebounding.
Missed bunnies in game two, can't guard Jokic in the post (no shame) and it's difficult for him to chase MPJ (which was the downside of starting him but whatever).
I still think it took too long to start him and it was worth it to see him play with the top guys.

Oh, next season?
- Ham starts next season.
- Doesn't make it to Tgiving, maybe not Halloween.
- We're still a play-in team.
- Next coach? "What's with these goofy rotations? USE THE TIMEOUTS! What kind of play was that?!"
- Pelinka continues getting VERY expensive haircuts (my cousin does his hair).
