he was in the AD trade

Also on a deal “only” paying 6million now?

I was legit, “D’Angelo Russell is still in the league?”

they assembled a 2021 supeteam

And only getting \(6 million for the year. I'm a Wolves fan and didn't like D-Lo on the team, but D-Lo getting paid \)6 million I think I can handle, particularly if he is 9-10 man in the rotation.

Best part of the AD trade for us

I genuinely didn’t know. I remember he went to the Mavs and just went blank after that.

Had the same reaction.

Even I forgot that and he played on the mavs last year lol

I thought he was waived lmao

I totally knew he was on the Wizards… yup totally

This was my first thought as well. I remember he started on Dallas, was he traded with AD???

I had the same reaction.

We have D’Lo??

That, coupled with the fact that he’s likely weary of being traded, is understandable, especially when considering the constant disruption it causes for his family who must repeatedly relocate.

my friend got stuck with a similar vet min deal too

He didn’t even show up after the trade lol

I don’t think the Wizards front office knew. They’re probably reading this, thinking like “oh shit we’re stuck with this guy?”

The wildest part is he only turned 30 in February. His prime was like 1.5 seasons at 21 and 22 and turned that into a max contract and 180M career earnings based on potential

Went on vacation and got 6 mill, he was playing golf this whole time lmfao

Today I learned the league fucked

Wizards GM probably said the same thing

He had a couple decent years with Minnesota but yeah he fell off

He had a few electric months as a Laker. More than a few lowlights as well.

the 2023 wcf ended his career functionally one the worst series from a player i have ever seen

Lakers really loved him in second run ..until WCF. He had some pretty good games vs Warriors in 2nd round for which he was praised here on NBA. Like G3 with 21 pts on good splits ,G1 19 pts…

So had pretty big role in playoffs well after Nets

Its crazy that he didn’t take any extra step defensively when its his biggest flaw

Nah he was decent with Minnesota and even with the Lakers in 2023 until the playoffs. After that playoff run though he fell apart

All the Baby Lakers either fell off or helped the Knicks turn the franchise around/win a championship with the Knicks

Hart, Caruso,  Randle, Ingram, Zubac are all starters (Caruso is 6th on OKC but it counts as a starter :)

You think his career turns out different if he falls to the Sixers? The fit seemed better

who else fell of other than him and lonzo? randle and ingram are doing ok. rest were late 1st early 2nd round picks.

Why are there 4 players and a dawg on the court?

I mean I’m sure he doesn’t, but this is a free $6M for him knowing damn well he’s only getting to get vet minimum contracts going forward

He wants $6m though

Will he? That’s a tradeable contract

That was until no one else would give him more than 6 million

He’s done soon. He was already un athletic as a young guy and his game is only going to get worse as he ages

A blunt that everyone takes one hit of and then says “I’m good off that”

There’s no way he should be expecting to start

He’ll be cozy on his couch when he doesn’t even show up again

lol he was ass for the Mavs and came of the bench and they barely had a PG. he would be happy to come of the bench most likely he’s 3rd string though he’s utter ass. His shooting just declined insanely these past 2 years career low 3pt percentage two years in a row

What? He didn’t even join the wizards team after he got traded, decent chance he gets cut anyway. No matter what he will not be playing

He wouldn’t have accepted the option if he thought he was good enough to start

They didn’t even play him last season when they were trying to lose.

Is he really so bad with money that he would need to do that? His career earnings are crazy high.

for the 1 quarter that they’re all fit, yeah.

Why?

Both of our fan bases after having our own title-run windows but falling short and then watching every single one of our division rivals win the chip since that Sixers-Nets series in 2019

Yes. This is the NBA sub.

He didn’t show up to participate so he’s probably getting cut or traded

Probably overseas or vet mins going forward
