I think his value will stand out.
Would be awesome if we could flip Dlo for a stretch big, we have the guard depth. hope he can just play the stats for his contract tho tbh
I also just get so annoyed he doesn’t reach his defensive potential, bro has a 6’10 wingspan
Wouldn’t care if we kept him or traded him honestly. He’s definitely can add value but is also highly replaceable
gabe vincent has one good playoffs run and yall acting like hes like that lol
im done making long winded rants and defenses. i love dlo. hes a fucking great player. we're lucky to have him.
It's ok to keep dlo since lakers need him in regular games, as for playoffs coach d ham can shuffle his line up depending opponents. Biggest need is PF/C backup for Davis
Trade DLO for a big man. Its so odd how fans still believe DLO despite his playoff struggles he gets exposed all the time in the playoffs when u need it.
I KNOW YALL AINT GON TRUST HIM VS THE SUNS!
D’Lo finna stay bruh for sure
DLo a game breaker
Dlo stays and Gabe will fill Scrotum’s minutes
D’Lo staying
Don’t spread this BS plz… this is why fanbases hate us. Turning on our own players before training camp even starts
what does jsm stand for?
Do-lo is a worker, don't need the lime light, will listen to LBJ and work with AD for a one two punch when LBJ is off the court. Do is happy to play understand he playing aside LBJ. Only just him uo for Kyrie irvin bc now you have a pure scorer for your 1 or second option and will break down the defense outside of Kyrie or D-Rose he is staying. Need to work on getting a strong back up center for Soft Ass AD.
Don't need him honestly … they was key playoff games where he just went missing
He’s gonna traded some point 😂
This guy already has a reputation to underperform in the playoffs and but also he showed up in some games. I’d love keep him and it looks like he’s a great locker room guy seeing guys having fun when they get a 3, doing that “ice in my veins” celebration looks fun as hell to me. It gives LA some type of attitude and feel especially right now, we’re gonna see a lot of that because we got shooters in the squad.
I’d rather evaluate the team up until trade deadline before trading D’lo. He’s one of the consistent guys during our push for the playoffs
Trade him to Utah, get Khris Dunn and Kelly Olynyk. Defensive guard and stretch 5 big to pair with Anthony Davis if we can't get Christian Wood
lakers need him
I still believe in D-Lo
The lakers will not win anything if they trade or bench DLow. Unless its for kyrie or dame
Like I said bye DLo, and JSM right Gabe should come off the bench and Austin Reeves is ready to take that spot and Max Christie is ready, let’s go by DLo 😅
Keep him and definitely start him
Ah yes; we are definitely in the off-season… Lol!
Are the lakers stacking roster for lillard
Honestly the dlo hate is confusing. Bro had a terrible series but in no way was that indicative of his full season post trade deadline. And he was pretty good in the first 2 series. It’s crazy but if he got hurt closing out the warriors the sentiment on him would be completely different and that whole thought process is way to fickle for me. Maybe counter intuitive but him playing terrible and us getting swept as opposed to him playing well and us losing 4-2 or something was much better for the team simply because of the contract they were able to get him on. I’m willing to bet the chatter around dlo will swing pretty early in the season because he is an amazing fit with bron and ad
They literally didn’t want to bench him during the playoffs because they wanted to resign him without no problem …. In other words him being traded is absolute cap
Many people are going to criticize me but I hope we can keep him for the whole season and not trade him at the deadline. I feel like he is going to be motivated after what happened this past playoffs
No please
Gabe Vincent is not better than D-lo and he should not start over him simple .
If they plan this out just to trade him, the Lakers are stupid unless they pull a star trade. If DLo plays poor while starting, the lakers can put him as a backup. He is a better threat if he is off the bench. $18M for 17-4-5 player seems fair enough.
He's definitely their #1 trade candidate on paper but letting D-lo go out trading him at all in my opinion would be like taking one step forward and taking two or even three steps back at the same time. Yes D-lo shot poorly from being the arch in the postseason but we cannot forget all the other things that he did during the regular season and the playoffs! Like you stated I don't think that they even make it there without him. His positives and the fact that he wants to be in L.A and started his career here are a big deal. He's no Magic Johnson but his facilitating is to notch and he can play and shoot from anywhere on the floor. Just like everyone else he will have to work on his three ball for the Postseason which I'm sure he's already doing. He is a positive on this team and knows his teammates, coaches, owners etc. very well also. And let us not forget that his rookie season 2015 was also Kobis last year in the league so he has been blessed to play with two of the best to ever play the game!
They need to keep D-lo is not for the regular season alone.
Well said by the way. 👍
Keep him no question
