People don't understand that when D'Lo was good, Lakers were great. But his only problem were Nuggets, and those 9 games in playoff vs Nuggets is how people will remember him as a Laker. Shame it didn't work out, but he was just unplayable in playoffs against Denver. But we still love you D'Lo.

[@rainbowhouse3427]

The Nuggets bullied the hell out of the Lakers not just D'lo. Their lineup alone got like 3 bigs. That's the reason why the Lakers struggled controlling the board and D'lo getting mis matched by MPJ most of the time. Jokic bullying Rui 🤣

[@gotworc]

Yeah Dlo is a good player but he just doesn't fit well especially with the roster this year. With Knecht getting drafted, Gabe Vincent coming back, Reeves improving, Max Christie slightly improving. He's had to share the ball way more than last season

[@epitome1986]

this trade will have a bigger impact than people think. still wont be a title contender but his defense is good, and extremely good when you account he will replace dlo. I think what this does open up is vando or rui becoming available. I dont think they actively shop them but if get a deal for say vando or rui, Austin, and some picks for a player like butler they may pull that trigger. But if not they have some depth at wing after that.

D’lo goes from lakers to the nets a SECOND TIME is kinda crazy💀

[@abstracted3197]

Last couple of years, Kenny? Check the Lakers Front Office history from circa 2012 until now. Team building and maneuvers seem akin to tossing behind the back darts at a dart board obscured by two wall dividers. They got a championship and were able to get LeBron (because he chose to go there) and AD, but... Most moves seem to make little sense from a basketball perspective (Rui and DFS are good moves, not going to criticize those). It's like Pelinka and the FO see role players succeed in certain systems and think "Oh, we'll just plug them in here and they will get that production" without understanding the fundamental ways in which those players operated within a team concept to give them the numbers they had. Without understanding the ways in which certain players in other systems could excel in different roles and positions on the court. There's been little pulse on flow for damn near a decade. This is a front office that is content to leverage the name on the front of their jersey and resell the history generated. With all this said, DFS is a good move for a versatile point of attack defender and floor stretcher and I don't think DLo was the answer at guard. But... this team is way too dependent on point Bron play. Their guards aren't table setters and are mediocre at best defenders and shot makers. Other than AD, they have no help defender worth a damn. Bron doesn't get back for transition defense as much as he used to. They're old and vulnerable there against teams that can take advantage of that. Bron cannot break people off the dribble as much as he used to and while he does a lot of these moves to draw the secondary defender to generate the lane for a pass and while Dorian will absolutely help knock down shots in this scenario, I just don't think this puts them over the top or in much better position than they were in. Cavs are going to tear them apart in a few days, back-to-back be damned.
