Lakers are trading Tim Mozgov and D'Angelo Russell to Nets for Brook Lopez and 27th pick Thursday, sources say.

HOLY SHIT

Are the Nets actually retarded?

Why are people saying it's a bad trade for the Nets? They'd much rather have a 21yo PG than a 29yo center, and they can eat Mozgov's salary no problem.

Lakers must be picking Ball.

>>76663758
Are you kidding?
>lose mediocre PG
>lose shitty center with cancer contract

>>76663758
Yeah they wasted a top pick on Russell but it seems as though they are winning on this deal.

Are you implying getting the last year of a max on a legitimately good player in return for getting rid of what was regarded as the worst contract in the NBA is a bad thing?

Holy shit Russel and Okafor are total busts, PHI should trade Okafor to the Nets so they can play together

Yup it is, when you have to get rid of the best young guard in the league to do it.

Naw, he had a decent rookie year especially considering the players on the team implementing a new system. His jumpshot needs work, and he needs to continue to bulk up slow so he doesn't blow out his knees

Very likely

WHAT THE FUCK MAGIC.

>>76663925
But the Lakers are picking Ball so they have a young PG.

It does demonstrate the lack of market for a point guard, though, especially now the Sixers have that position sorted. It's funny because the Lakers could have got Noel instead a few months ago.

>>76663925
>Yup it is, when you have to get rid of the best young guard in the league to do it.

Nigga, wake up

Players who matched D'Angelo Russell's 3P% and PTS, AST and REB per 36 minutes through 1st two seasons: Curry, Bird, Manu, CP3 & Harden...

>>76663963
>Randle is a really good player

Nah, he's another Brandon Bass type of player. He'll be forgotten in two years.

>Ingram had a decent rookie year
Are you fucking retarded? He had a POOR rookie year. His shooting % are so fucked up even though he played about 30 mpp

>Russell was a bust
>Ball will be a bust
You're right.

>>76663751
My sources say yes.

Oh, and the Lakers were fucking morons making the Mozgov/Deng contracts 4 years rather than 3. That was their real fuck-up, not over-paying them, since it fucked their cap flexibility for a season when they would actually be trying to win.

>>76664040
He is a Brandon Bass type player but I think he'll be able to stay around and contribute for longer than Bass was

Are YOU fucking retarded? He had a decent ROOKIE year, I don't know what you expect from an underweight 19 year old to do in the NBA on a shit team. His fg% is low, but not for the situation and he was stronger in the post and on defense than anyone thought he would be.

Clarkson, Randle and D'Lo are all role players. None of them are starter quality except for D'Lo under the right development.

Lakers fans have been delusional as usual thinking their "assets" were anything more than average role players on a bottom 3 team.

>>76666857
>which I hope is Fox.

No man, no no no. Fox is good but we need Ball, >inb4 muh Kentucky vs UCLA game, don't base it on him, and please don't tell me you don't like ball because of his dad.

Ball is perfect because he will be a pass first and catch n shoot player. and he's good at it. This will be good If we get Paul georgio, and Lebron Jamesio. We don't need a rookie ball dominant guard, no way no how my non.

I been saying LA drafting Russell was a mistake for the last 3 years.

At that point Clarkson had shown he was a competent guard, could run an offense, and he can create his own looks and get buckets. They should've drafted a big and put that next to him.

PG Clarkson
SG Godbe
SF Whoever
PF Porzingis
C Randle

They could've been decent and the Black Mamba's farewell tour would've been much better, possibly even a 8th seed playoff push.

>could've went Porzingod
>could've went Okafor

Even Johnson, Winslow, or Myles Turner would've been a better pick but instead they went with the dank memester Russell. Lakers FO are fucking retards.

>>76666811
>>76666865

Fultz is a better overall athlete, better driver to the rim, and has a move explosiveness vertically.

they have similar physical profiles, but Fultz is clearly a better prospect.

Russell is not "bad" either, dude is like 21 and just came off a decent season. He probably has maturity issues, but Nets got a steal with this deal.

The Lakers are a true bottom feeder franchise. Part of that is having delusions to the contrary. Teams like the Magic, Raptors, Knicks, and Lakers all share the illusion of being one draft pick or FA away, when in reality their future is paper-thin or nonexistent. In reality none of those teams will win anything with their current management direction. Pursuing mediocrity and refusing to rebuild is the mark of a truly shit-tier team.

That's literally 50% of what makes a basketball player. The other 50% is just straight up skill/talent. You're basically saying they were justified in trading him. I support them trading him, just not for who they traded him for kek I like how Brooke is improving his game and his shot but he's over the hill now. At best he can be a good guy off the bench that'll give them spark scoring and stretch the floor.

my non, they added timofey mozgov to the deal, it was a deal so that a team could take mozgov, dlo was just the bait so teams could take it. He was eating up 54 milly senpaitachi, no we just need to dump deng so we can clear cap space for paul george and lebron james.

the deal was a cap space move, not a talent one. And well who knows, we might even get brook lopez to sign for cheap and have a nice center to work with pg and lebron.

Lebron's one real rival has always been the celtics (and I guess golden state but not really)

The best way to get revenge against his ultimate rival after all these years would be to join the lakers and win a couple chips and beat them in the finals. Imagine the lakers having MORE chips than the celtics, it would literally fuck their franchise up since the only argument they still even have for being relevant is a bunch of rings they won 50 years ago. Imagine the butthurt from celtics fags if the Lakers had 19 championship banners, it would be done, over.

Oh and golden state, if you even want to call them a rival, lose all relevancy as Lebron makes the lakers the best team in california again and the warriors become irrelevant shits and nobody outside the bay area ever talks about them again

>>76667921
