Damn. My dawg must have a weak market. I for one welcomes D. Lo back (inb4 trade)
Brad-Stevens
He balled out for the majority of the season and *still* had to pick up the option
Playoff rep in the gutter

DLO back, great regular season PG. We either trading him or rolling with him at least through the deadline. I’ll take it. Wish he would show up in the post season though

Someone will need to mentor bronny

Guy isn’t great in the playoffs but he was one of the Lakers best performers throughout the season last year (and post acquisition in 2023). As long as Reaves takes a leap and Christie develops, it might actually benefit them to have DLo there for regular season consistency as they try and get a better seed this year.

Lakers needed this. Cant replace him with a guy off waivers or a vet min guy. Now , im wondering if he opted in knowing he is gonna be traded. Not counting any dream scenario where bron takes less money for a taxpayer mle

After IQ got 5 years 175 million I thought D lo would for sure opt out. 2/50 or so seems pretty reasonable given his performance last season, but I guess not. I get the playoff struggles but dude was one of the best shooters in the entire league and salaries are booming rn.
This is great for the lakers, though.

This is good news for the Lakers. There was nobody to easily replace him on the free agent market. Russell is a productive regular season player, even though he does seem to get clamped in the playoffs.

He’ll carry Bronny’s suitcases

Most threes in a season for us, we need this man like it or not

He was ass in the denver series. But Lakers don’t get to the play offs without D Lo.
