I hate that no matter what this season it seems like the discussion around this team is mostly about Russ.
No way to avoid it.
This is what people do. The big move we made was him so naturally the attention is going to him.

THT is the guy that needs to be sent to the G league
its gotten to the point where im not expecting the lakers to win any game.
cannot believe we are 16-18
Yeah for sure man, I get it.No way to avoid it.

He said he was coming. Not that he wanted to. He said it was done and was telling his family that he was coming after he had a meeting with them. That it was done. And then he found out the Lakers went in a different direction the same way we all did...by woj. Pulled the Lakers special, same move they did with Ariza and decided on Ron.Ddr said he wanted to be a Laker but I still don’t understand how they would’ve signed him. He got 30ms from Chicago. Lakers couldn’t offer that. Don’t think he was ever coming to the lakers.

Bro just save your response in the drafts.He can say what he wants but the bulls offered 30 million a year. Lakers only had the MLE available.
He’s not going to the Lakers for 20 mil a year less. Tell me how the math works before you want me to get mad at the lakers management for fumbling DeRozen.
We def deserve this but if we got him we get hard capped and lose tht along with every other player on the roster. Even the mini mid level would have been given up likelyDeRozan wouldve made this team so much better. And deadly. Especially in closing moments. And he wanted to be a laker. AND they curved him and got Russ lmaooooo.
They deserve this.
Maybe he would've signed a smaller deal. Or a 1 year deal til the team got his rights. Idk bro. But it just seems when a guy says he wants to play for a team and sign there, I take his word for it. Caruso said the same.He can say what he wants but the bulls offered 30 million a year. Lakers only had the MLE available.

Lol he had to do a sign and trade. Spurs would have had to have a deal ready with la. If it was done then spurs and lakers talked before august 1st lolHe said he was coming. Not that he wanted to.

That’s not how rights work. 1 year deal rights are a 125% raise. So if he signed a 5.9 mill x 1 year deal. Next year woulda been a 7.35 mill contract.Maybe he would've signed a smaller deal. Or a 1 year deal til the team got his rights. Idk bro. But it just seems when a guy says he wants to play for a team and sign there, I take his word for it. Caruso said the same.
Tht is buns. Addition by subtraction brodie. Everybody in the league knows Russ is cheeks. A 3 of Bron x ad x DeMar is attractive. Maybe could've talked Lowry into signing a yr to play with his best friend. Who knows. The team avoided the hard so and cut off their feet in other ways.We def deserve this but if we got him we get hard capped and lose tht along with every other player on the roster.

Lol I hate Russ more than anyone hereOnce again, they could've technically got Derozan, Hield and Caruso. But knowing Pop and Buford it wouldn't have happened. Chicago gave more than LA could've come up with and he got paid more than Lakers could've gave.
But it seems DDR was set on it, so maybe he would've took a lil paycut and talked to Spurs brass and told him that's his destination. We know players today can push on agents to push o front offices to get **** done. Bron would've had to sell it to him too.
But this deal would've took communciation and everything to break right from Bron/AD/Pelinka/Buss and Caruso/DDR/Spurs etc.
How the Lakers could have actually had a team with DeMar DeRozan, Buddy Hield and Alex Caruso
Is there an alternative universe in which the Los Angeles Lakers added DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Buddy Hield during the offseason?ftw.usatoday.com
True. But at the time the idea of losing all those guys to get derozen and that’s it didn’t seem right.Tht is buns. Addition by subtraction brodie. Everybody in the league knows Russ is cheeks. A 3 of Bron x ad x DeMar is attractive. Maybe could've talked Lowry into signing a yr to play with his best friend. Who knows. The team avoided the hard so and cut off their feet in other ways.
Lol I hate Russ more than anyone here
But to think derozen would have taken 5.9 from LA vs 27 from Chicago is drunk or stupid or both
But Caruso didn’t want 7.4. They offered him that. Tht didn’t want that either.Read man
In that completely unrealistic scenario, after a Hield trade, and waiving/renoucing everybody, they would've had a little over 20mil to give DDR.
And then still another 7.4 mil for Caruso. Or THT I suppose.
