That boy getting traded
Getting traded for sure
“To stay in LA”
Asset fans when they’re able to hold on to an asset: 😃😃😃
Damn. My dawg must have a weak market. I for one welcomes D. Lo back (inb4 trade)
He balled out for the majority of the season and *still* had to pick up the option
Playoff rep in the gutter
Free agent market looking weak af
Let’s gooo
Bro was waiting for DJM to get traded
Huge for Lakers Trade Machine activists
What type of trade are you guys thinking of?
They gonna trade his ass. Well at least dlo survived a dejounte trade
I guess he asked around and no one is paying big bucks for him
THANK YOU DLOOOOO
OMFG YES. Great day for the Lakers.
Would’ve got paid if he sat out the playoffs
I think there’s a Trae Young trade coming
Yesssah thank god 🙏🏽
Bye though 👋
DLO back, great regular season PG. We either trading him or rolling with him at least through the deadline. I’ll take it. Wish he would show up in the post season though
Trade piece!
Big win for Lakers.
I wish he would have opt in sooner so we could have had a chance at Murray

Trade asset
Someone will need to mentor bronny
Guy isn’t great in the playoffs but he was one of the Lakers best performers throughout the season last year (and post acquisition in 2023). As long as Reaves takes a leap and Christie develops, it might actually benefit them to have DLo there for regular season consistency as they try and get a better seed this year.
Lakers needed this. Cant replace him with a guy off waivers or a vet min guy. Now , im wondering if he opted in knowing he is gonna be traded. Not counting any dream scenario where bron takes less money for a taxpayer mle
HE STAY!!
After IQ got 5 years 175 million I thought D lo would for sure opt out. 2/50 or so seems pretty reasonable given his performance last season, but I guess not. I get the playoff struggles but dude was one of the best shooters in the entire league and salaries are booming rn.
This is great for the lakers, though.
This is good news for the Lakers. There was nobody to easily replace him on the free agent market. Russell is a productive regular season player, even though he does seem to get clamped in the playoffs.
man, nba is crazy in salary these days…. remember when the top of the leaque got 19 million just 10 years ago? These days even mediocre wannabees got a truck full of money!
He’ll carry Bronny’s suitcases
He will be really good on a team that needs a pg to help them through the regular season – distribute the workload, but come the post season he is not your guy. Would be serviceable on phx, gsw, magic, and maybe the spurs tho.
Most threes in a season for us, we need this man like it or not
Why? Magic could’ve used a guard. Probably gonna get 20m per year.
He was ass in the denver series. But Lakers don’t get to the play offs without D Lo.
