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.

How do you not understand why some hate him
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.
Hate?
Every day you find a thread praising him or bitching Reaves and asking why Dlo don’t get more love.
He let us down last season with his 6 pts and 3 ast, if you guys trust him good, he averaged 13 pts for the Wolves.
Fans that have followed his career and aren’t charmed by his calm voice don’t trust him, simple as that.
Because if anybody makes even the slightest mistake in game, we crucify them. That feels like the essence of most of the fake fans in here 🤷🏻♂️ D’Lo been playing pretty well in my opinion. Only one that concerns me fully is the coach.
dLo is like a top 7 point guard in this league,
that fact you call yourselves lakers fans + dLo signed for 17mil/year,
ya’ll some fucking little bitches that are stupid as hell.
Because there is no excuse to average 6 ppg on like 35 percent from the field in the WCF. You just can’t ignore that. I think he’s somewhat improved this year defense and playmaking wise and he was pretty good the rest of the playoffs so I think there’s hope for the guy tho
He’s a really good player. Unfortunately, that Denver series has really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, regardless of how good he starts to play now. That awful performance during that series messed up his playoff reputation.
Whats with all these pussies crying about apparent hate? Apparently were only allowed to clap and cheer. Will that make you stop crying? Its a sport we watch for entertainment grow a pair of balls
Since we lack a bonafide 3rd option, the community tends to attack D-lo, D-lo-level players, and AD after losses.
The team in general stinks and we all want to believe that it’s all down to one guy. We all chooses whoever we think (bron, AD, DLo, Austin) it doesn’t matter. I think as a fan you just gotta bite the bullet when your team is mid and the lakers are mid this year. It sucks but honestly the sooner you accept this the less toxic and stressful watching the nba becomes.
I just hate his middy game. Either get to the rim, post up and shoot 3s bro. His iso dribble dribble fadeaway is so inconsistent. Biggest problem is he cant blow by defenders and cant attack out of pick nrolls.
Evrything else, the vibes, good energy and leadership is great. His offense which is his main thing is just shaky at best. Ion even mention his D doe.
Im DLos biggest hater but lately he has shut me up by not having the worst shot selection in history.
There’s DLo hate?
Why?
It’s called… toxic sub + internet.
You’re going to see all the haters, just as you’ll see the supporters. Not sure why people get so confused by this.
