June 20, 20179 yr Author DAR is hated in the locker room. But they didn't get enough for him. Chad Ford reported Lakers offered him to most the lottery and noone was interested. False. D'Angelo was hated by Magic and Byron Scott. Clarkson, Nance and Randle have been close with D'Angelo. Dumping Mozzy's contract was the main goal. In order to do that they had to throw in D'Angelo and since Magic took over he has quietly hated on Russell every chance he got. Makes sense now. Magic is a bum. Just like his boy Byron. If they don't get LeBron in 2018 then this is all for nothing.
June 20, 20179 yr Author Really, I thought they were building around him...I had no idea that he was hated. He wasn't hated by his teammates. He was hated by Magic.
June 20, 20179 yr Author Calling @PurplePride92, did the Lakers run that trade by you first? Nope. I just used a Lakers tee shirt to clean up dog urine.
June 20, 20179 yr Wade has opted in his contract with the Bulls for next season. Smart move, he isn't gonna be getting that type of money as old as he is with any other team.
June 20, 20179 yr Wow, I'd have thought the Celtics would have pounced on that. Jimmy Butler has to be better than whoever they pull with the third pick, right? You would think so but apparently not to Boston

June 21, 20179 yr Author Man don't be mad at me I was repeating multiple reporters take during the season. Plus no lottery team wanting him does not look good. The national reporters have no clue what is going on in the locker room. I'll trust the local reporters and his social media accounts which tell a different story. No lottery team wanting him goes both ways. What were the Lakers asking for in return?
June 21, 20179 yr Aldridge says Butler has said he'd prefer to stay in Chicago instead of going to Cleveland.
June 21, 20179 yr Two years in ... my "prediction" of Booker having a better NBA career than Russell is looking less outlandish. http://bluegrasspreps.com/national-basketball-association/nba-draft-lottery-304868.html
June 21, 20179 yr From what I just read, this trade will allow them to have $64 million in cap space in 2018, enough for two max deals, PG and LBJ. It's a good deal for the Lakers, they will have to pay 22 million for one year of Lopez, which is better than three years and 48 million for Mosgov. I can't wait to see Russell's Fan Duel pricing elevate on the daily.

No lottery team wanting him goes both ways. What were the Lakers asking for in return? They wanted DAR as apart of a trade for a pick. DAR was a non starter. According to Zac Lowe it was two thing locker room chemisty and health. First I heard about health or injuries associated with DAR. For the record I'm not hating on him but I'm an NBA twitter junkie and DAR leaving the Lakers was a foregone conclusion this week. I just don't think they got enough. But it was about dumping Mosgov salary.
