D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Traded To The Nets

yikes...that's cold, mike.

although, i think it's possible that he meant finding him on their defensive end, as he put in a bunch of buckets, and the knicks almost lost to the mavs' b-team.


edit: yeah, pretty sure that was it. dlo had a good dlo game 23/7 in 25 minutes on 9-15 from the floor.

 

Is he injured or just permanently DNP’d by Kidd until he’s gone? Haven’t been following but saw he got 0 minutes against us.

 

He sucks.

He'll be in China soon with Okafor.

 

Tinkerbell was finished in the Conference Finals. We just finally got around to admitting it, after JJ benched him after 10 games. He was who we thought he was after all.

 

DNP

you'd think this would be a perfect scenario for him since the mavs are tanking and he's always played well when there's no pressure, but he's been outplayed by nembhard and williams. he's going to be playing overseas next season

 

he'll have a podcast by next year, probably focusing mostly on life in the nba off the court, lol.

 

I never saw it in DLO.

a Combo guard that wasnt good at either or. He had spurts of streakiness but hes an off the dribble shooter for someone that isn't that great. I could swear he'd miss nearly every other catch and shoot compared to off the dribble.


When he was on the team with Kob I think, dude was just horrible. I dont remember, his entire career is forgettable and dismissable

 

really talented, not at all interested in the drudgery/physicality parts of the game that are required to win against the best. his best years were that brief period in bkn where nobody expected anything and he just got to do the stuff he likes to do. when he was asked to function as part of a team defense or to not have costly mental lapses, he folded every single time. just didn't have the mental approach to match his (actually incredible) physical talents. such a skilled passer and shooter. his failure actually makes me appreciate harden's success a bit more. i consider them similar in many ways, but harden just a bit more professionalism (and strength).

 

When Mr Streaky was ON, his shot compared to the best of them.

but overall, it seems the work ethic or physicality or mentality just wasn’t there to maximize the success

 

DLo worse than Mr Night Life himself makes me sad

 

guessing the wizards will buy him out. but is anyone going to sign him?

might be it for his time in the league

 

I wanted to like him but I never could.. he def has scoring talent but he has so many oddities it makes him a wash.. the negatives unfortunately cancel out whatever positives he brings.

 

i remember being ecstatic when they drafted him

he just never had it in him to take that next step to stardom. and he sure as s*** couldn't produce when the lights were at their brightest. a tank commander is what he was best at
