Kawhi a freak

 

[dat dude chris]

Still cant believe the Lakers traded Dlo for just THAT

I dont like his attitude but i feel like dude has the potential to be an All Star one day

 

[Platinum State]

D'Angelo must be hating life right now.

 

[dat dude chris]

D'Angelo must be hating life right now.

Hes still going to NY to be the focal point of an organization now. Its not like hes going to some random city or something lol. I think hes fine

He may be coming here but to be a part of the most irrelevant team since the ny red bulls.

 

[ballinsam23]

Going from LA to NYC while still having a big (if not bigger) role. He should count his blessings.

 We get it. The Nets are irrelevant. We know.

I'd never move from Brooklyn to LA, that's for damn sure.

 

[rook]

Lmao nah this sucks. He was a LAKER. Now he plays in Brooklyn [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

 

[rook]

tatum or jackson?

im a celtics fan, id rather pick tatum for them right now. jackson's jump shot is just awful. maybe it can get fixed but i just dont know man

all those tatum isos making him look damn deadly

Not having a jump shot just seems like doom for a player like Jackson.

Lmao wut

Ay, Dlo x Caris Lavert is gonna be dope

 

[iceinmyveins2]

Lmao wut

Ay, Dlo x Chris Levert is gonna be dope

Lavert is included in the trade

 

[rook]

Lmao wut


Ay, Dlo x Chris Levert is gonna be dope

Lavert is included in the trade

Fake rumor I heard

 

[ill steelo]

Woj: Timofy Mozgov and D'Angelo Russell to Nets for Brook Lopez and 27th pick Thursday, sources say.

I thought this was a troll

Magic's first big move is shedding the #2 pick for cap space. This will backfire horribly if Bron and/or Westbrook go somewhere else.

He'll actually have the keys now
He'll play with that chip on his shoulder and ball

 

[rook]

NYC will toughen him up in general man. He got caught up in that corny LA life with Nick young and JC. Go to the Nets where literally nobody cares in that city. i like the move because the teammates in Brooklyn are just tough dudes. Kirkpatrick, CL, RHJ..idk that roster is absolutely garbage but that's my point. All them dudes suck right now and we all know. DLo gonna become great

Yea, but i meant that nobody in NY will care.

How he get caught up in the la life bro?

He actually produced when he played. He was fine. If he becomes great it'll be because he already showed signs before the Lakers traded him for cap space

 

[B Sox]

Nah. They'll just draft whichever one out of Tatum/Jackson/Isaac that the Celtics don't take.

 

[dat dude chris]

PHX def drafting Jackson

[MVP]

How he get caught up in the la life bro?

He actually produced when he played. He was fine. If he becomes great it'll be because he already showed signs before the Lakers traded him for cap space

C'mon Shoe all them stories about his immaturity from two different coaching staffs plus the obvious incident with NY. They ain't just looking at the stats. This was about the culture going forward as well.

 

[mrswagtastic]

Jordan Bell should be a solid pick in the 2nd round, Long Beach in the house.

I'd never move from Brooklyn to LA, that's for damn sure.

You realize you don't have to live in Brooklyn to play in Brooklyn, right?

You can easily live in Manhattan and hop in a 10-20 minute uber to get to Barclays, depending on where in the city you live.

I live on 14th and 8th and can catch the L to Barclays in 5 minutes flat.
