    I can only pray Boston makes him a good offer, that would be the time Dlo will gave me something to enjoy.

    I remember watching dlo crying on the bench days before the trade deadline and thought to myself “no way this dude about to finesse himself out of a trade.” Then hours later there were sooo many laker fans feeling sorry for him begging lakers to keep him.

  3. He was decent during regular season, but you kind of can see him not giving a fuck this series, dude probably realizes he is done here.

  4. Yellow_Evan

    Is he even going to get as much as he’s making currently in the open market?

  5. FlatBirthday333

    Fuck it. Start the Max Christie, JHS transition

  6. We are in cap hell regardless of him staying or leaving, right? Or am I mistaken? Which means it would be good for us to sign him and trade him as opposed to letting him walk? Someone correct me here!

  7. WestVirginiaFan15

    That really sucks for us because we need his expiring money for a trade tbh

    If D’Lo wants a long-term deal, he’s probably has to take a pay cut with the way he played in the playoffs (again).

    On the Lakers side, the best thing he can do is pick up his option. That would give them a decently sized expiring contract to trade.

  9. FaithlessnessSea5153

    He needs to go to a non-playoff team out of the bright lights.

    Lbj is most likely gone as well. Him playing for the warriors is a real possibility.

    In that case I really hope AD just requests out and we blow it all up and rebuild with whatever we get for AD.

    He’s probably going to get the MLE from some team unless Orlando really wants him.

    This is also not good for us because if he opts out that means we could start the season with no PG. We don’t have the salary to just sign a free-agent specially if Lebron gets his extension

  12. KingNephew

    Hilarious, now we can’t even use his salary in a trade. Masterclass in asset management by Pelinka.

  13. Lakerman0824

    Good he’s an Orlando Magic/ Charlotte level player

  14. CrazyNice7240

    I know he’s playing like shit but losing him for nothing is terrible asset management

  15. There are 82 game players and 16 game players and frankly you need both. DLO is a huge reason we even make the playoffs.

  16. AREM2191

    Can we just bench him game 4. Windhorst is probably just making a smart guess, but if this was leaked by D Lo’s camp he doesn’t deserve to play Saturday.

  17. Exciting_Attitude240

    He’ll be a Hornet next season

  18. valleykid818MD

    Lmao. If you’re leaking this now, should just sit out the last game. What a bum

  19. JulesWinnfieldJr

    Awww noo what are we gunna do to replace his 0 points he produces?

  20. WideCoconut2230

    DLo had a terrible game last night. Overall he’s had a great season for us. Not sure what free agent will replace him to duplicate those numbers.

  21. qkilla1522

    Spurs feel like a landing spot for him that makes the most sense.

  22. Skinny0ne

    Hopefully the property brothers pick him up, he’d help them a lot with his brick throwing specialty.

  23. New_Championship_912

    Dlo to the British basketball league

  24. BostonBaggins

    Dudes trash lol

    He has a couple of good games where he is forced to take shots

    Bro you’re in the league…when you’re open you take the shots

  25. PrimaryAcanthisitta8

    Lights got too bright again for ol D lo

  26. Key_Grape9344

    I just hope they don’t do something stupid and sign TRAsEh Young. He’s horrible and when the NBA players all voted him as the most overrated player in consecutive years…well, that tells the whole story!

  27. He’s definitely gonna have suitors. Spurs and Magic come to mind
