[Pincus] The most recent intel suggests the San Antonio Spurs aren’t interested. If Russell can’t get a viable offer from the Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Toronto Raptors or Utah Jazz, he’s wholly reliant on the Lakers for his payday.

Bout to get Schrödered honestly.
It’s crazy how if you underperform according to Lakers standards, your market value just tanks. Who was the last role player from us to leave and get a pay increase? Only one comes to mind is Caruso but that’s because we fumbled on re-signing him
I can’t be the only one that thinks it’s hilarious they go on to list 6 other teams before the lakers.
Out of the loop, what happened to the Magic being interesting in Dlo? They aren’t even listed as someone offering a contract to him now.
Game 3 ruined any of the good will he got this season. With that said, ever since his interview where he bashed some critics, he slowly declined to finish the season. If we won game 2 after his performance, he might’ve gotten more hype
Teams you can definitely rule out: Philly, Hornets, OKC
Possible but unlikely: Utah and Toronto
Possible: Detroit and Magic (who weirdly aren’t listed)
> EDIT: The last sentence of this Pincus quote goes: “It just takes one, but multiple NBA sources question who would be willing to pay Russell if the Magic aren’t.”
DLO for DFS and Sharpe i heard is a possibility.
Then do Rui and Gabe for DJM
Vando for Caruso
Sign Royce O Neal and Andre Drummond in the offseason as FA signings.
DJM Royce DFS Bron AD
Bench
Caruso Reaves Max Wood/Sharpe Drummond
I thought magic wanted him?
That list makes up 1/3rd of the league who might have interest in DLo, yet the article makes is sound so bleak.
I can’t see how a coach like Pop would want a player like Dlo. On the top of that this is definitely not someone I would like around Wembanyama. Dlo is pretty much like Ham in terms of self awareness.
He’s a good player, u know how hard it is to get a 41% 3pt shooter. Dude has a sick jumper, he’s just not gonna help u in the playoffs. It’s a hard decision cause he can still light it up in the regular season and help u win games
What happened to Orlando?
Dlo’s PR seriously needs to do something, right now his value is tanking. He might opt in which the Lakers like be a trade chip.
Klutch is an army better yet a navy. smh
I just dont know which team would give him more than what he is going to make on his option. The cat is out of the bag on him. If you have any real playoff aspirations, he cant be your starting PG.
Don’t worry DLo the Lakers will get you to one of those teams in a 3 team deal.
Hopefully we can retain him. Our options if he leaves are kinda bleak
We don’t know this until he maybe hits FA, imo this is moot because teams would only say that in terms of a trade scenario at this point.
Opt in don’t be a fool
Dlo over giddy on that thunder team is a HUGE upgrade.
The Magic are one good move away from Finals contender. Dlo would set them back significantly.
He left out Orlando. They have super duper max money at the moment
Two teams I see as possibilities, Magic and Nets.
I thought Orlando was interested
The Lakers should keep Russell. He’s the best shooter on the team and he’s only 28.
