What other 3rd option is giving you this?

    Tbh there are teams with better third stars than us but Dlo totally fits with our big two of Bron and AD

    Also we’re paying Dlo like half as much as those other guys lmao

  2. I think a lot of other 3rd options are also really carrying a heavy load for their team.

    Jarret Allen, 16/3/11, or Mobley, 16/3/10

    Beal, 18/5/4

    Porzingis, 20/2/7

    Bam, 20/4/11, or Herro, 21/4/5

    Chet 17/3/8 with 2.4 blocks

    Harden 17/9/5

    Vanvleet 17/8/4

    I think on paper, it looks impressive, but when you take a second to think about it you realize how much scoring has inflated in the NBA. Years ago, this would’ve been a rarity. These days, it’s not. Years ago, I think 3rd options generally really struggled to find their place on a team. I think these days, it’s much easier to coexist with 2 stars.

    Well, I could tell you, but then I’d have to delete myself! Just kidding.

    This is so stupid. Dlo is not a good third option

    I don’t think you could find a better 3rd option for Lebron than Dlo. Someone who could average 25/6 playing off ball when Lebron is in high usage as well as get 30/12 when Lebron misses games. Also, someone is absolutely fine and comfortable with the ebbs and flows of that scenario, loves sharing the ball, and enjoys other teammates successes.

    I’ve liked Dlo since we drafted him. If we get Vando back and Bron and AD stay healthy, I pity the West in the playoffs! Except Denver, I don’t pity them, just hope they have really bad games

    You guys aren’t seeing what the lakers want. It’s not about having a third star, it’s about having someone that can be the first or second option in the regular season so that LeBron can be the third.

    That’s cool but trade him for Dejawntay Murray

    He’s really developed into a Curry at home type of player. Of the top 10 in 3PM he has the highest shooting %. The only person in the top 25 of 3PM that has a higher % is Grayson Allen at an absurd 47%. Dlo should have at least 10 3PA a game at his production.

    To Dlo’s credit he has really upped his 3PA. Since he came back in January he’s been over 8 attempts a game. As he’s shot more his % has gone up. Dlo chucking a three is never a bad shot in my opinion. Him, Lebron and Rui have really developed into a really nice three headed three point monster.
