Really wanted Spencer as a Knick next year. Surprised Nets locked him up with DLo and Levert there.

Was the smart play.

Also presuming they don’t do anything stupid like letting DLo go or trade him. They lock up a significant amount of minutes in the rotation between the 3
 
Nobody said Hart is better but he is a better fit. DLo hasn't improved that much since being traded. Most likely will never make a all-star team so they're not missing anything. And most importantly they're winning.

He’s a lot better than he was in the year with the Lakers before he was traded.

His on-ball / perimeter defense is better by significant amount.

He takes better care of the ball and is a better passer.

2016 compared to 2018
AST% - 26.8 to 35.8
TOV% - 15.6 to 14.1
USG% - 26.6 to 30.0


Perhaps it was the right move because he was never going to get a fair shot in LA. But Russell would have fit pretty well on the current Lakers team, and also may not have needed to be traded at all
 
On DLo, they truly did my dude. You cant just give up on a player in 2 years, especially when your organization is rebuilding and a **** show.

I however, understand they were questions about maturity and locker room dysfunction cause of him. But dude was way young.

Y'all love bringing up old arguments. :lol:

The Dlo trade allow us to move Mozgov's contract which opened up the max contract spot for Lebron and it also landed us the pick that got us Kuzma.

Kuzma and LeBron >>>>>> Dlo. if the Lakers still have Russell on their roster right now, they don't have Kuzma and LeBron.

if the Lakers hadn't gotten LeBron, then we could totally go back and say that we lost that trade, but the moment we got LeBron it officially settled it.

This is no hate on Russell, he's a very talented young player who's going to have a great career but our front office had other things in mind.
