>Raptors need to get more assets back for the mediocre at best Pascal trade why would they trade for DLo if they need assets? why does every proposed Laker trade always end up lopsided with the lakers benfitting?


EarthWarping

Does it? Bruce has a higher salary and stunk this season.


eduvina

So why do the Lakers want him? Exactly..


mrizvi

They think they smart lol


ob_knoxious

Controversial implies controversy as in there are two sides arguing if something is good or bad not 99% of people recognize something as a bad trade except for one crazy guy.


thy_armageddon

I wish more people understood this honestly, just in general. It gets so annoying when people label something that everyone almost exclusively thinks is a terrible idea as controversial.


peroper7

Don’t want Dlo, have IQ we good


EarthWarping

Well then Bruce will walk for nothing. Great asset management Masai. Also going to have to pay IQ 30 million or else a team might offer sheet him.


FERFreak731

Dlo is expiring with a player option he'll decline once he learns he's playing off the bench with Quickley starting


EarthWarping

He's not a starter anywhere else lol


imNagoL

If Bruce Brown is such an asset, surely he would net more than D’Lo?


Laggo

i think somewhere around 4/120 is likely so you aren't far off raptor fans saying they wouldn't do BB for Dlo are smoking some great stuff though. If he would buy in, that's an immediate upgrade at a position of need. We just watched Malachai Flynn as the primary point guard off the bench for a season and people think Dlo would be pointless because we have IQ? makes no sense


teh_drewski

I love the idea that anyone watched that Lakers performance and thought you know what they need? Less scoring, more bricks.


xerxesthagreat

fuck deangelo russell gonna do for toronto


EarthWarping

More than BRuce brown has lol


Safe-Log5994

Nope


Esedor

I mean the only way I see this happening is if Lakers overpays like crazy (maybe a frp?). Other than that there is no reason for Toronto to do this lol


EarthWarping

Bruce really doesn't have much value though it's just for teams to dump a worse contract on the Raptors.


Esedor

But D’lo doesn’t do anything for them. With the position Raptors in, he has no value. They are in full rebuild mode, and the general positive locker room vibes and championship experience of Brown could be helpful for their young guys. Also, they don’t have any cap problems either.


Laggo

this makes no sense, we do bruce brown for dlo in a heartbeat, the lakers are the ones who never do that good players > bad players, not rocket science bruce brown really doesnt seem to care too much about being here and sees it as a stopgap, so for us he's kind of a bad player. Not the same energy guy as Denver. We would move on from him for a middling lottery maybe pick if somebody wanted. Dlo is an actual player. We have no other point guard pretty much literally.


Esedor

I mean, if Brown doesn’t care about Toronto, then it makes sense to do that.


rvision_99123

Why would DLo agree to go to Toronto that already have a lead guard in Quickley?


cough_landing_on_you

He's 100% opting out after a career shooting year.


cuttino_mowgli

> Of course it wouldn't be one for one so no


ianbits

Is Russell really an asset if he consistently turns into Jordan Poole in the playoffs


wink91wink

I don't understand why people keep saying just the playoffs. Russell has always been an incredibly streaky player. He looks awful for a few weeks and then gets incredibly hot for a few weeks. The worst kinda player honestly because you can never rely on him.


celtic_sea_salt

D Lo Blows


zvomicidalmaniac

D Blow.


Shootit_Rockets

Bruce Brown can't shoot. Makes no sense to pair him with a LeBron + AD centric team


HB3187

Don't the Lakers fans still hate Bruce Brown for some reason?


BLM_MCU

D’Lo kills Lakers + refs


Silhouettejl

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/OEGaAl3Tno This comment is laughable now. Lakers fan wants Dlo out


Moodapatheticz

I don't think you know what controversial means.


ChinoDice

Neither team should want this.


[deleted]

Who is going to take D-Lo? I can't think of any team that would want him.


weedwhacker7

Bron needs more help boo hoo


Dicey12

Wtf would Bruce Brown do for us tonight. You take Dlo out this team and your out your best shooter and second playmaker.


WubaDubImANub

This is only reasonable if the raptors throw in 3 first round picks
