When Dennis WAS here wasn’t the consensus that most people want him gone though?

I thought at the time we needed to move on from Dennis because among other things he was too small and his shooting had a ceiling. I would kill to have him again compared to Gabe now.

Tried to tell yall the German Jordan was much needed despite his sometimes abysmal shooting.

Dennis would be much appreciated now.
I think the biggest knock on Dennis was his size, shooting and how long it took him to shoot (he has a slow *** release). Those issues only really matter in the playoffs, he’s a great regular season player and we need those types of players to get thru 82 games.

That Denver series exposed alot and that's twice Dennis has looked bad in the playoffs when they needed him (2021 against PHX after AD went down)
Still would be the 2nd best guard on the team.

Criticized? Yes.
Wanted gone?
Not at all, not from what I remember.
But criticized? Hell, we have diehard Laker fans who want the leading scorer in NBA history gone from our franchise.
Criticizing is what we do.

I'd take Schroder over DLo at this point. Hell, I'd take Scotty Pippen JR. and the cap space over DLo
Coaching has shifted away from DLo, and given AR a bigger role in offense. I think the team looks better, but still very flawed.. Rui/Cam aren't ideal fits, and bench got no depth. Sticking with initial predictions from off-season of play-in team

Can we get a headcount on who wants DLo gone? Draft the poll someone!

idk if yall are on the nba subreddit, but i've concluded that Essential is to DLo what MITwestbrook is to Russ

I sometimes wonder if this DLo/essential thing is an inside joke im not aware of.

I'm actually serious I really want to know what he has watched that has made him come to this conclusion...
There is nothing D.lo does that is better than what Austin does....
Nothing.

Even if we just wanna speak on points alone, DLol hasn’t even hit 20 once. Hes just cruising out there.

Yup.
Dennis isn’t doing anything for the Lakers that will take them to the next level.
It’s not for lack of talent. His style of play simply doesn’t fit with Bron and AD cause he can’t shoot.
Jrue Holiday would’ve been PERFECT for LAL and it’s a shame Pelinka couldn’t acquire him and BOS beat us to it.

Not saying all, just the consensus.. and yeah I know that’s asking a lot to prove on a message board.Criticized? Yes.
Wanted gone?
Not at all, not from what I remember.
But criticized? Hell, we have diehard Laker fans who want the leading scorer in NBA history gone from our franchise.
Criticizing is what we do.
So let’s just say that not everyone was a fan and SOME people wanted to move on from him.

He getting hurt signing the contractDidn't even know Rob Williams was back. 3 games and he's played well too.
Clax is too expensive and Jonas can't move. I'd rather take my chances on Rob guarding Jokic than the others. Especially since Grant might be coming with him.
