He’d be amazing in Utah. To me, that’s the best fit.

Ironically, he’d be really good in Boston as well, but I don’t think they have the money to bring him in.

Indiana as well, but I’m not sure how significant Oladipo’s injury is, and how he’ll look when he’s back.


Indiana is only 2hours away from his hometown Louisville, too. maybe a sleeper to sign him.

Maybe this has already been covered, but why isn't Brooklyn apparently interested in keeping him?

Seems odd that he blows up this year, yet they don't want him?

They value Kyrie and KD over him. That makes sense to me.

KD/Kyrie or DLo? Kind of a no brainer to gamble on that.

OK, that makes sense.

I don't see either Kyrie or KD there, but I could be wrong.

Brooklyn better be careful if they play that game of musical chairs as they might end up with nothing.

KD/Kyrie... why Brooklyn instead of Knicks. No DLo/Rondae so LeVert/Dinwiddie/Allen vs DSJ/Knox/Robinson. Prob ownership but I mean, if you bring championship to the Knicks, man, NYC basketball gawds

Isaiah Thomas blew up and then got injured and then the Celtics dropped him like a bad habit for Kyrie. Theres no loyalty in the NBA unless you are a mega superstar (Dirk, Kobe, etc).

Mudiay was just effectively released by the dang Knicks. D'Angelo Russell is a damn All-Star after leading his team to the playoffs.

Some folks should marinate on that ish.

People with a lot of animosity towards the guy are always getting exposed. Common theme with these folk.

You hate to see it.

What's the likelihood he sticks around with GS? Weird fit because of their backcourt, but I couldn't think of a better place for him to learn (Nash, Curry, Green to scream at him about defense ). He has the opportunity to really soak up a lot of knowledge over there. Hopefully he's a part of their long term plans.

Don't forget fortysixn2 and betting his account because he thought a 23-year old all star wouldn't get the max in a period with teams having plenty of cap space.

Common theme with these people that have hated on this kid for years. Weirdo, fraud behavior.

Like I said. Hate to see it.

D'lo interview for those of you who are fans. He seems to be maturing.



His hair annoys the feck out of me though. There's so many cool braided hairstyles to pick from, why this one?
If I was his dad, I'd hand him a shaver and say, "Be a man. Do the right thing!". Or shave his head in his sleep.

More NBA for me this season as I will be watching few Pelicans and GSW games for ZO and DLO. Curry is my favorite non-Laker in NBA. Intrigued to see him and DLO together in regular season.

Let’s say the warriors do end up wanting to move him at the deadline, do the lakers now have enough to trade for him?

Nope

Lakers can't trade first round picks for the next 5-6 years on the trade deadline,

Only thing of value aside from AD is kuzma and if he continues to not play good defense, then the warriors pass.

Only chance is if he becomes a "wiggins" contract where the warriors want to get rid of him at any costs, which the lakers then pass.

Nice.
Saw a pundit the other day discussing why he will be a bad fit on the Warriors. Said he couldn't pass.

Was it some Atlanta Hawks, Grizzlies podcast? I heard the clip. That’s when I knew the guy hasn’t watched him play.

The biggest issue in terms of fit for GS, is the small backcourt being poor defensively. I do think he’s only an asset for the Warriors, but I expect him to kill it in the time he’s there. Playing alongside Curry will open things up so much for him. Working with Nash should help too. Dray being on him will also be beneficial.

Some are too busy believing Scott’s and Magic’s lies.

I think Golden State could actually be a fantastic situation for DLO, he could become that 3rd scorer behind the Splash Bros while Draymond does everything else.

It will be really interesting especially this season with Klay out to see how he does there.
