I just love the fact that everyone that was so insistent russell is a "point guard" are now so ecstatic that he can play his true position "shooting guard" next to ball
Actually I'm fairly confident that everyone who is insistent on Russell being a lead guard also insists Ball plays like an off guard.


I don't see either as a lead guard in half court, but it can change in the future. Ball still has to play his first game and is a great lead guard in transition, so I have higher expectations about him.

Not telling Dlo is a lesser player than Ball, he is a way better scorer.

And you're basing this on?

if Philadelphia called and offered the 3rd pick + a 2nd round pick for D'Angelo, should the Lakers take it??


Hahaha... Hell No.

Their 1st + Saric + Our 2018 Pick + Deng or Moz's Contract would start the ball rolling for me.


come on man

ya he forgot Simmons and Embiid in that proposal smh


It was mostly sarcasm but I'd find it amusing if you were still shaking your head. Sorry, SMH is the dumbest saying on the internet.

To be serious though, I'd ask for Saric and their 1st. And that's not sarcasm.


& u are not getting that

I am pretty sure you are making stuff up again. Know what? Ball isn't a Laker.

If the Lakers getting a PG in this draft like Ball or Fox, Russell will be moving to SG. How is Russell's size and speed comparing to the rest of the SG?

Size wise, is 6'5, and 6'10 wingspan. More than enough. He can also put on some upper body weight easily (and has). Speed, who knows. Too many to compare.

We already have De'Aaron Fox. His name is Jordan Clarkson.

Not bad progress for the kid. His ORPM percentile is better than:

Jrue, Lin, Schroder, RJax, TParker, DRose, Rondo, Mudiay (last).

This actually surprised me:
http://bkref.com/tiny/CvSZT

Note the restrictions: 25 points per 100 possessions, 5 assists per 100 possession. Russell put up 26.5/8.2. LaVine and Wroten are the unimpressive ones here, but otherwise that's some good company by age.

BTW, here are guys who put up Russell's numbers through their 2nd year (instead of looking at age): http://bkref.com/tiny/VrbfP
Not quite as exclusive but still impressive production.

What's shocking is that CP3 is in the 0th percentile in terms of attempts at the basket. Makes me feel a bit better about Russell being in the 3rd percentile, lol.

D'Angelo Russell and Paul George are already teammates... in endorsing New Era Caps

http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2017/5/23/15681026/la-lakers-trade-free-agency-dangelo-russell-paul-george-new-era-caps

@LakersSBN
. _at_ dloading joins Paul George, Draymond Green and John Wall as @NewEraCap ambassadors

Look at the other names. He can be a big brand if he realizes his potential on the court. He doesn't have a boring personality which helps.

If he and Swaggy can squash the beef then so could Ball and him.

On a side note I'm sure Russ is just thinking he would not be our PG of we draft Ball.

I was also wondering if the "like" had more to do with the compliment related to his game than with the supposed conflict people are jumping on.
