Hearing Rockets might just end up with B. Lopez as part of George to LA trade. Player affords them both short term boost and flexibility

Dude not even verified he got 200 followers haha

 

[moonman818]

 
for the 100th time, its not about Dlo being traded but more about what we got for him

Will you people be happy if this trade results in us striking out in free agency again next year?

Someone answer this

Because people were freaking getting a center on his contract year that could shoot 3s, score 20 points a game, and protect the rim pretty well. It's comical.

 

[noblekane]

all i know is hes good offensively but sucks balls at rebounding

 

[thasoleful1]

I believe there's a lot of attachment to DLo because we haven't had a lottery pick that high and we want these kids to reach their potential and I don't think he hit his potential and him getting shipped just like that got fans feeling some type of way.

Tells me it goes a long way being 6'10, relatively skilled/athletic, quiet and reserved.

 

[lovehateself]

Exactly. The coaches have been around this guy every day. They know what he's all about. I'll defer to them instead of some stans.

Also who's been reported MULTIPLE times by the media that he's the first guy in the gym and the last guy out most of the practices....you can't be surprised why management prefers someone as hard working as BI

As a former DLo defender, sometimes you have to look at the mirror and see why a trade like this happened. When a team that had a top 10 draft pick didn't want to straight up trade for DLo this season, you have to start wondering, is it management, or perhaps the asset that is actually faulty.

We've seen plenty of evidence that D'Lo works on his game too.

I thought DLo was gonna be this star that every team wanted though, whether it be traded with a **** contract also and what not.

 

[iceinmyveins2]

So D'lo trade not finalized yet huh?

Has to be done by tomorrow since we getting 27th pick right?

 

[purpnyellow]

Has it been reported that the lakers were trying to add moz in any deal for a top 10 pick? I think they tried to get a top pick for him by himself that didn't work so they made the deal with Brooklyn
