heh could save us during the draft if we don't get the top 3. hopefully Philly would still be interested in him despite all this.

If we dont get top 3. Im ok with D'Angelo Russell for whoever gets Chavano "Buddy" Hield.

[inc-pankz]

Yes hield pero loaded na jud ta sa sg. .i like brandon Ingram. .

this can't happen if the draft is held today... eventually, this issue will fade in time.... but won't be happening as of today.

the problem is trading a player is not that easy... ang pangutana, kung mosugot ba ang nakakuha ni buddy hield nga mo-trade for russell... why would they want to trade for russell? because he can't be trusted?

if d'angelo can prove that he can be a steph curry level player, then this goes away easily

i think that issue with Russel and Young will affect the teams chemistry. DRuss just broke the Bro-Code

in the last 10 games... surely, the team chemistry will be off. lets hope this fades away in the off-season.

Also, If you're saying that it will take him to be a "Steph Curry-esque" player to make this image go away then I'm afraid it'll take many years to do that. If it he even gets there at all.

All im saying is, The Lakers should consider exploring trade possibilities for this kid especially if we keep our first round pick (Top 3).
The 76ers are making Jahlil Okafor available bec. of their front court log jam. I wouldn't really mind a straight up trade for "Big Oak" if we keep our pick.

Problem is, nobody wants to trade for or play with this guy. So its a lose-lose situation for the Lakers.

for me, i don't think lakers should trade him... the media is over-sensationalizing this issue. it happened before to kobe and shaq... kobe was also recorded that he wanted to be traded to the bulls and the lakers won 2 championship with kobe after that. this is not the end of the world for the lakers and d'angelo. the team can definitely move on from this without doing drastic changes. they just have to deal with the issue.

Exactly. And NBA players look out for each other like bros in a fraternity. It you break the Bro-code you don't only lose the trust of your teammates, but players around the league will certainly look at you with shade.

Dude broke probably the biggest guy code there is. Not only in Basketball, but in life.

D'Angello Russel: What's going on bruh?
NBA Player : Are you wired? Where's the phone at?"

What happened to Kobe and Shaq was different. They threw accusations and allegations at each other mainly bec. of personal differences and arguments over their respective roles on the team. Shaq was lazy, Kobe was obsessive and they both wanted to be the Alpha male of the team.

Throwing accusations and allegations is one thing, but to secretly record your teammate without his permission is on a different level.

The only thing worse was if he was secretly bangin' Iggy behind Nick YOung's back.

And I agree, the media is over-sensationalizing this issue, but that's what they do. D'Angelo should've known better before doing what he did.

media people talking about this are blowing things out of proportion... this is definitely a team issue.

what happen here is not due solely to the character or personality of d'angelo russell. d'angelo may be a little bit immature, but he did not do this with evil intentions... both nick young and d'angelo have been trading pranks for months. if you watch the video, nick young even knew he was being recorded at the end part.
