It's not like we didn't expect to lose it's about how we lose and they aren't kids they are getting paid millions to competeI can't believe these kids lost to the Spurs and Clippers. Unbelievable.

A lot of us understand this, but there is a crew here that is anti D.Lo.
We have heard your arguments at nauseam.
Move on.

I just want to appease Lakers fans, particularly whip.. then watch it burn in the 5 years following the trade
I'm pretty sure everybody said Russell wasn't a # 1 option.
Your PG as a # 1 option is typically not a good thing. Key word typically

Don't think that's true at all in today's league. In fact he has to kinda be that guy. Either that or a superstar wing (KD, Bron, Kawhi, etc.) PG is clearly the deepest position in the league in terms of good/great players. Good for us is we may actually have that star wing in BI so it won't be as needed otherwise.I just want to appease Lakers fans, particularly whip.. then watch it burn in the 5 years following the trade

I just think him running the O isn't good in my opinion he would be better playing off the ball running through picks.... on another note I really hate how Lou shoots the ball almost every time when he is in

It's not optimal is my wording. There's a lot of star PGs or good/great who are really nothing if they shoulder all the offensive load.

Team played heartless 2 straight games
Not all on Dlo, but he needs to play better
7 shot attempts is unacceptable when he's being counted on to score and set guys up

Look at the best teams in the league right now, all of them have either a star wing or a star PG, some having both.
GS-Curry & KD
CLE-Bron & Kyrie
SA-Kawhi
HOU-Harden
TOR-Lowry
BOS-IT2
LAC-CP3
Even going down to the next tier most have really good or elite PGs
Utah-George Hill
Memphis-Conley
OKC-Westbrook
And then you still have your Walls, Dames, of the world.
Conversely look at all of the worst teams in the league, almost every single one has a bad to average PG running the team.

Forgot DeMar with Lowry.
A lot of those teams stink or are fringe playoff teams, going nowhere, if you remove that second guy, and are stuck with just a Star PG or really good PG.
I think we may be saying the same thing.
You need 2 guys. And we likely have it.
As always... we'll be fine.
Not to you because you get it. There is no magic pill that will get us contending in 2 years. Not a single one.

Slowing down after a good start this month.
Such is life with a young player.

Seems like it's important to know. Perhaps. Essential to know.
