You can have positive strides and still lose games tho.
So you're saying DLo is an investment that will pay off? Ever heard of selling off your assets while it still has value? And what if DLo doesn't pan out in 2-3 years and tears up his knee in the process. What will your investment get you in return then? After all, it's clear DLo isn't going to be the next franchise elite player that can put a team on its back not to mention a 20-year old who already has constant knee issues. Unless of course you're one of the few people who actually believe he will be great lol.Oh I wasn't referring to you but let me address you directlyWhat's asinine is comparing your son to an employee of an organization. No such thing as "trading sons" son. Apples to oranges. I don't pay my son to live in my house like Kupchak does to Russell so he can chill at 555 Nash St in El Segundo.
What your old short sighted vision failed to see in my statement was you don't stop investing in your future just because the present doesn't follow the same path as previous examples of success.
I mean if you have children you do invest in them don't you. I mean I would hope you would. If a young Michael Jordan got cut from his high school bball team should his dad stop investing his money for training for his young son Michael? No not if he believes that his investment in his son will pay off. And just because some outsider from the outside looking in tells you to cut your investment short, you listen to the nonsense??
Tense my comparison.
See I have no horses in his race boss. Just wanna see the Lakers win win win. But it's obvious you have an agenda. Have several seats "son"

What's even funnier is that you're comparing DLo to Michael Jordan by implying the Lakers shouldn't cut short their investment and hope he pans out to be the next Laker great
Since you like to talk about investments and compare them to DLo, let's play a game. Let's say you acquire a decent secondary/rental property in Bellacere, Las Vegas valued at $1 million. A year and a half later it's appraised at 1.5 million. Do you sell and re-invest the equity earned into another property that's even better (for example, commercial property in Westwood/Wilshire district) or at a prime location where real estate is always hot and will surely net you higher profits in the long run OR do you stick with it and continue to hope that it will double in value in the next 3-4 years even when market conditions suggest that value appreciation is going to be slower in Las Vegas than, say, Newport Coast, Malibu, or Beverly Hills? See what I did there?
Secondly, I have teenage children. And investing in my children's future success has absolutely NOTHING to do with the silly comparison you made about a 15-year old vis a vis a "successful 21-year old" because for one thing, more often than not a 21-year old hasn't gotten a clue what it means to be successful in real life. Not at that age. Not to mention, a regular working class 21-year old's taste of anything close to "success" is vastly different than that of a professional athlete's. So like I said, apples to oranges.
Carry on...

oh brudda. And here I was after all this time not believing in the saying that 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' 
g
Who said he's "terrible" though? The premise in trading for him is largely based on what he can possibly/potentially become.
Better for you to watch the game since nothing you say will justify your point against mine.So you're saying DLo is an investment that will pay off?

Now I gotta figure out if I wanna waste these keystrokes playing this game with you. You're very entertaining lol
Meanwhile DLo....
Nah I do just not worth it for me honestly. Let's watch the game I'm sure you'll have some breathtaking barbershop analysis later.
For once we agree...let's watch intently...because once I'm done with this Popeye's chicken...
