I love Dlo as a laker. Can tell he loves this team. Yes he can be inconsistent in scoring the ball, but our whole roster outside of Lebron has been too. For when he isn’t scoring he is still showing solid playmaking and defensive ability this year. He is on a cheap contract and is averaging solid stats this year, yet so many lakers fans cant see past this Denver series and the occasional bad game. It’s crazy. Trading this man and one of rui or reaves and a pick for an expensive player who only knows how to score is insane. Can’t wait to see lakers fans reactions when Lavine goes out and shoots 1/8. The problem isn’t Dlo and it hasn’t been all year
I believe the main problem is hiding him on defense when he isn’t a 35 ppg commodity most nights. You do it for your superstars, not for a player that can give you 35, but can also give you 6 pts any given night.
I’d like him better as backup since the only consistent aspect of his game is his bad defense.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Reaves because he makes all the little things and didn’t complain when he got benched because I’m a believer that is the best role for 1 dimensional players.
