I don’t understand the hate revolving around DLo. At $36M/2Yrs, I think we’ve got a solid ball handler who can effectively operate in a PnR with AD as well as be a decent 3pt catch-and-shoot (47.4%, https://www.nba.com/stats/players/catch-shoot?dir=A&sort=PLAYER_NAME). I understand that he was definitely exposed defensively and underperformed against the Nuggets last post-season, but I think there’s some unjustified hate towards DLo in wanting to ship him out especially with the Bulls trade rumors rolling through. But let me know y’alls thoughts.

    I find a lot of the dlo conversation is a tale of different generations lol

    Many young laker fans are still nostalgic about him being our second round pick, he didn’t get the fairest of shots here after the drama. He is a talented player…but his playoff woes are why he’s never found a permanent team. Dlo is a great basketball player on non contending teams and that’s fine? Honestly I don’t even want to trade him unless an actual elite point guard becomes available, zack lavine doesn’t move me.
