P, a lot of people hating on the trade saying it doesn’t make the Lakers a contender, but in reality, D’lo has been playing bad for the Lakers all season long. DFS is a 6’8 athletic wing who most people thought it would require a first to get him. D’lo is a slow 6’4 player, yes the Lakers are not going to be favorites in the playoffs and they can still make moves, but they are better than they were yesterday. LETS GO LAKERS 💛💜💛💜
@@Blekkkkkkkkk DFS is a defender of course I don’t expect him to give us more than 10 points per game, but if he can give us a little of what Vando gave us in 2023, that’s a win in my mind
Idk with the "could it save the lakers" Lakers are 5th in the west and 18-13 ahead of what they were last season there a good team. This move is a Great move for Lakers. Adding one of the best skilled defensive 3 and D wings in league without giving up a first is huge. Milton also a solid throw in to and could contribute. Still i don't expect this to be only trade. Ideally still need atleast one more trade for a big but it's a great start and A + trade.
That’s fair. Not every move needs to be a home run. Role players show up in the playoffs. Shaq and Kobe were great but without Horry hitting those 3s they wouldn’t have as many rings.
It moves the needle just not enough on its one to win. Dorian makes use much more balanced and much better defensively. This at least puts us as 4th seed potential
Maybe three years ago the Lakers were a scary team but they are not built for the Playoffs; teams would love to see the Lakers in the playoffs even though they have the League and the Refs on their side!
Off-topic P, I don't know how you feel about your Knicks precisely this year but they're so entertaining to watch and the chemistry/vibes seem on point, happy for you and other Knicks fans 💯
Moving bron away from PG after winning a chip was the biggest mistake imo. Surrounding him with guys like Danny green KCP and now with the like of DFS should have always been the construction .
Nets have their 25 and 26 1st, that gets thrown away for some reason, but year it will be interesting what we can do for 2027 etc., our future seems very bright if you ask me tho
Move a guy like JHS and Vando plus a 1st for something like this Finney-Smith trade. Two guys who don't play for a guy or two can fit and contribute with AD and Bron
He's been good this month. 22.5 minutes, 6.7 pts, .444 3P% off of 3.8 attempts, 105 offensive rating rand 114 defensive rating (both are great improvements from the prior months)
Casual. Gabe's been playing better these past few weeks and him playing better might be the reason why the lakers pulled the trigger on this dlo trade.
I am a rui hater but i hope he doesn't get traded as his skill set is very important but if you can atleast move him for a big or another wing then fuck it
Guys act like we are dead last in the league, sure we are not where we need to be yet given past front office decisions but give the team a bit of credit the way they have performed this season so far.
It’s so amazing to see everyone commenting about the trade and how it doesn’t move the needle for them. Yeah, obviously, thanks for only pointing out you don’t know Lakers basketball and simply commenting out of your ass. This trade is meant to move the needle, not significantly at least. The goal all along has been to hold on to a strong position in the west until trade season and they’ve done that. They’ve sown up their lacking forward position especially with the absence of Vando and Wood. They did that by trading and inconsistent Dlo, picks, and a G league player, big whoop. They still have two picks to play with, not three, and are really only one key player away from being a true contender, especially with the surge of Knecht and Max. If lakers find a trade that puts a real big on the court and a point of attack guard, this team can be scary, especially if a key defender in Vando is back in top form come playoffs.
They still need a big.. JHS and 2 FRPs for Walker Kessler Gabe Vincent for Steven Adams and a 2nd Gabe and a first for Valanciunas Or JHS and a first for Nick Richards
I ain't gonna lie, was watching Lakers kings last night for the first time with my gf and I was telling her that the Lakers gotta trade DLO just told her that they actually traded the dud e I was telling her abt last night 😂
Nothing this team does, unless they want to use the only first round picks they have, will move the needle for them. They still are built upon relying on a 40year old LeBron to be 1st to second best player night in night out.
Cam Johnson isn't the best but he can hoop proven himself enough to stay on a team and can put up buckets I want him on the suns just for his scoring suns already succ defensively he'd make it worse but the game today is 3 ball they could e
Clearly you're not aware that the lakers is looking for a 3&D wing. Now ask yourself, is Cam a 3&D wing? Clearly, the answer is NO. Basketball is not just all about scoring brother. Cam is a better player than DFS, but DFS is what the Lakers need.
@@Rhude_tillerthey have hella issues with health from the 3 and 4 position. Wade, strus, levert and Okoro have all missed games due to injuries already. Getting DFS gives that position more depth when someone is missing
@@kyaboysavannah1336 you can’t tell me getting 3 2nds from the Lakers is better than a 1st and a 2nd from the Grizzlies. They cutting DLo so that don’t even matter.

Apparently all the apporn teams can’t sign dlo if he brought out because he contract was over the Non tax player mid level exception and the only team that are below the first apporn that are playoff caliber teams are the warriors the mavericks the cavaliers the clippers pacers thunder the grizzlies the rockets and dark horse team the magic the pistons and the spurs
Pelinka has become the most overrated front office person in the league. People keep talking about how the lakers “are always swinging for the fences” or whatever, when in reality he did it one single time. He’s made 10 good moves and 1 bad one, but gets labeled as a bad gm
Greetings brother like your comments but I don't think Rob palinka Kobe friend made a mistake I believe he has sabotaged this team starting with blowing up the championship team and refused to make any moves over the past two years lebron is a fool for staying there 😎
@@mozzarellafella66 we do tho. Austin reeves is not a lead guard and cannot run the offense. We do need a backup for AD for sure and we’re sorry on the boards when he’s out, but we also need someone who’s not 40 that can legit run an offense and score.
traded a guy whos redundant and doesnt fit anymore with reaves and lebron being the main ball handler, for a guy who strictly plays off ball, and plays defense
@ that is true I just don’t think DFS is as good as people are making him out to be, he does provide depth on the wing and that’s important but I don’t think this will change their standing in the west, which makes me question why give up assets just to stay in the same place.
@@josh0766 this mindset is why the lakers haven't done anything since 2020. "insert player wont change our position in the standings, lets go trade for a star who requires 3x more assets and doesn't fit because he can change our position in the standings" has ruined the lakers. sure dfs wont make them a contending team by himself, but applying this mindset over a extended period of time builds a team that has alot more structure and better true chance of winning a ring.
@@thicybriky ironically enough I was very much against their star trade when they got Russell Westbrook. He just wasn’t a fit. The Mavericks did a similar type trades to the DFS trade to get PJ Washington and Gafford at the deadline, those guys fit and were an important starter and a rotation player for a finals team. I just don’t think DFS will have that type of impact for the Lakers.
what a stupid worthless trade omne more disaster by the worst GM in the nba Rob the loser needs to go he wasted KING James and Davis best years and he stop lakers from wining one more title after 3 years this is what did what a joke
Lakers got worse.if you kept dlo and acquired a finney smith but losing and offensive player that can create his own shot will hurt yall. Esp. In the play in games
😂😂😂 you gotta be delusional man dlo is one of the worst playoff performers of all time the fact that they even got anything of worth AT ALL back for dlo is a miracle in and of itself 🤣

This is a good Tradr for the Lakers.. sad to sat it.. as I am not a laker Fan.. Shake Milton an underrated pick up. Warrior.
Honestly good trade and atleast they have more cap flexibility as well
But will he play good is the biggest question so many players come to the Lakers and don’t play good
Move a guy like JHS and Vando plus a 1st for something like this Finney-Smith trade. Two guys who don't play for a guy or two can fit and contribute with AD and Bron
Now all they have to do is get rid of Gabe Vincent and they might be watchable
