D'Lo is a perfect fit for the Lakers. This is the type of guard they've needed. Imagine if they'd had gotten him earlier in the season.

@Chucho no hatred at all. pure facts. no matter how many stars he played with he's only made it to the finals once? what do you have to say about that? what do you have to say about him leading the league in turnovers, leading the league in worst 3 point percentage before and how teams literally sag off of him? you bring up one finals appearance over ten years ago and thats all you got. mans is literally coming off the bench for one team and the next team doesn't play him late game. pipe down kiddo. none of this is hatred at all, it's pure facts.

@n yup and you didn’t. Read a few stat boxes about russ in the finals kid you got a lot of growing up to do. Hating on russ won’t get you anywhere

@Chucho yea most definitely buddy. you got it. thumbs up. pats head.

@n you are clearly under 15 years old

@Chucho you clearly lack attention.

D'Lo didn't miss a beat in his return! He put on a show finishing 28 pts with 16 in the fourth quarter!

@iMixUp FH are you sure you didn't go get some snacks I'm saying man is every second counts from God pay attention Jesus Christ loves you all day everyday okay Jesus Christ is the reason why you breathe you know take care God bless

It’s not just him, when the camera pans to the bench, you could see it when AD and Bron was out in they eyes how bad they want to play. They been winning since before all star and niggas are hungry right now. We had 23 game, originally we all thought they’d have to win at the least 15, but it’s looking like they’ll win 19-20 and end up a 5th seed.

We watched the game man we know

Thanks magic

DLo really matured a lot he understands the intensity the fans bring in L.A and he embraces it now

Ya that time away he really leveled up in his mind and brings a real maturity to LA. It's impressive

He did play with Kobe

Obviously didn't watch him here in Minnesota

All the players did that the lakers traded away when Bron got there. They woulda never became who they are now staying back then.

I hate to say it but I think them sending him away helped. Obviously it’s not what you want for a player, but he definitely matured over the years, I’m glad he’s back on the team that drafted him.

Rob Pelinka did an amazing job. The chemistry formed so quickly and now we are only 1 game under .500. Insane.

@JDH92 bron ain’t the gm lmao y’all say that to hate on the man

You mean Lebron did a great job right lol? As a non lakers or Lebron fan, I like sitting back and watching this weird stuff. When you guys got Westbrook and it didn’t go well, all the haters were saying Pelinka was a yes man, calling bron the GM, and saying it was his fault. All I know is they didn’t get the coach he wanted, weren’t listening about getting rid of the picks/Russ when it was suggested, but now that a good move was made… all the credit is going to Pelinka. So as a lakers fan I’m asking, is he a Yea Man who answers to Lebron or is he the GM making the choices?

@Chick Hearn4ever I love that lebron and Klutch get most of the blame for bringing Westbrook in but then Pelinka gets most of the credit for making a great trade to get rid of him lol. Lebron and others pushed for them to trade Russ and he listened, just like him and Jean Bean listened to Lebron and others to bring him there to begin with. Both sides are at fault for Westbrook being brought there and both sides are the reason he’s no longer there.

Actually the only really bad decision Pelinka made was to listen to klutch sports about Westbrook. Ignore the lebronze news and buy the contrarian play

@TyHiJames89 yeah

We got a perfect squad rn to make a run for possibly even the 5th seed I believe we can accomplish that💜💛

@Count Musa id love that, our guys would be healthy and we would get a hard test right away to start the playoffs

@Adrian barbee I guarantee there’s plenty of teams praying they get Memphis or SAC it’s not ducking it’s being smart😅

suns with no kd and grizz with no ja, plus mavs,clips and warriors all playing inconsistent we might even get a chance with the 3rd seed not kidding

@Adrian barbeewho knows how long lebron will be out. They gotta play it safe

Proud to see this man that once was a kid grow....😢 With tears in my eyes love to see people doing good, cause from that I gain motivation to continue. Pray we all continue to grow and show growth 🙏

So happy to see D'Angelo on the Lakers again, keep this momentum going! 💜💛

DLo's straight up mature and professional. Must be a great team mate too.

D'Lo is a perfect fit for the Lakers as the PG. like he actually gets it! and knows what he needs to do. I have seen so many people say if Kyrie is available to try to get him next season. as much as I love Kyrie, I think D'Lo is the perfect fit for this team. his energy. his thought process, it is great for the overall team going forward. Lebron, AD, D'Lo, is gonna be a monster Big 3 the more they play. they just Gotta stay healthy.

@charm mercado loll kyrie can pass he just more of a scorer

@charm mercado if you watch kyrie on mavs he actually a great passer. He just very ball dominant. DLo goes with flow of game.

Dlo: Can do pass Kyrie: Cant pass

@Mohamed Ali I hope that’s how things go

​@Kriscendo yeah but Kyrie would come in free agency they wouldn't need to trade away players to get him this summer.

I dont want giving up D'Lo for Kyrie.. Lakers dont need a 3rd star... they need hungry, young and great role players...

Especially not one so problematic in team behavior

How I wish we got this team before this season started and they all had training camp together... but this is turning out better than everyone expected so hopefully Lakers can get in the playoff spot and make some noise. Next year is gonna be fun if they keep most of these guys

That short stint with the warriors taught him everything he needed to learn about professionalism. That boy is ready for prime time!!

D'Angelo has really matured & this Lakers team has a vibe about them; they're going to be very interesting to see where they fall in playoff seed contention. 💯👏🏿

He nailed it down ! Its just not on two players, the guards have to continue to make other teams respect them . Keep it simple and make some shots ... Great job team

@Daniel Jenkins they were paying extra attention to AD, he just wasn’t really as much of an option in this game. The threes in transition from D’Lo kept them playing downhill and he was in the zone.

Under no circumstances should Ad have 7 shot attempts. What he calls selfishness, I call passiveness and bad guard play.

His interviews are always very impressive.

When we traded him I thought it was the right move and still do because it got us out of the Mozgov contract and open up cap space. So I still think that was the right trade. He went on to ball for the Nets. Biggest mistake of the Nets was trading him to get Kyrie and KD. They had something going on there. At the same time I am glad they did because now we've got a much better version of Dlo back.

D’Lo has grown so much over the years. Wish my Nets would’ve never broken up our squad when he was driving the ship.

D’Lo definitely has a point to prove. Nonetheless, I’m happy he’s a Laker again.

“Damn I killed that!” 😂🙏🏽 good to have you back DLo!

i feel like DLo has been so disrespected his whole career for a guy w/ so much talent. that laker team desperately needs a guy w/ his skill set - rooting for him

facts he's not a #2 overall pick for nothing.

This trade is giving me the same vibes from when we traded Kwame for Pau, except we sort of got more by trading guards that were of no use for huge role players and a star in D-Lo. Energy for the Lakers have been so different. Everyone’s having fun watching again.

"Damn I killed that!" 🤣💀 Bruh D'Lo is GAMING rn. So glad he's back in LAL. Been a huge fan and glad to witness this dude's growth!!! Laker Nation rise!!!

Pissed me off how all the talking heads didn’t acknowledge that when dlo gets back how good we’re gonna be. All they mentioned is bron absence

It's all about dollars for them and we know Lebron will get you the views and clicks...

Agree 100%. At the same time it just exposes that these talkingheads don't know what they are talking about or watching the games. They regurgitate some narratives and Bron narrative is on top of that list.

We gotta keep this team

His maturity is night and day from his young tenure when he was drafted. The new DLo is what LA needs!

When DLo pulls up from 3, I’m like yesss yessss yessss! Unlike when we had Westbrook 😅

Westbricc*

It’s so crazy how Lonnie Walker fell out our rotation

@Chaz DeCrescenzo 100%

Especially when Beasley is underperforming. Lonnie should not being getting DNPs.

That one guy did not have to laugh that hard at the end😂😂😂

I know it’s early to say… but with Dlos attitude and energy running point they might reach the finals

D-Lo's second act could be special

In sports fit is so important. Thats why one man's trash is another's treasure. All these guys can hoop but the team the organization the coaches all have to be right for you to succeed

Exactly 💯🎯

Why is everyone saying kudos to Pelinka with all the trades etc but no thanking Lebron? Wasn’t the narrative that Lebron makes all the trades for the Lakers? That’s right . . Only of its a bad move it’s Lebron’s fault 🤣

Fact 😂

Rob said lebron and ad was down with all the trades 😂😭😭 LeGm

Well we know he literally canceled Rob trading for Buddy Heild to get Westbrook so it makes sense actually.

Well said 👏

Fr 😂

Lakers gotta give D’lo a nice deal this offseason

Would love to hear someone ask about that awful third quarter. That thing was infuriating

it still baffles me that minnesota really decided not to play this man the right way. instead, they gave him what they wanted hope the anthony edwards project goes well but that’s crazy to disrespect dlo like that, nonetheless this MAN is just becoming a basketball savant. what a joy to watch.

He’s matured a lot

I tried to tell y'all, an older D'Lo was a great move for us! Haters and nonbelievers stay where you were. Lakers in 5

Lakers are goin to be dangerous in the playoffs

I believe he would’ve have been a super start in this game if nets didn’t trade him that year

Dlo was a kid when He left the Lakers. Buddy came back as a man

Fr

DLo sounds like Kyrie....is playing just as well (obviously not the same skill set) .....I'm excited we can make a push. He's exactly what Bron needs

Honestly D’Lo and AD would be a better future than getting kyrie if he wanted to come over the summer, the 2020 team proved pieces that fit will take you farther than throwing stars together

"Damn, I Killed that!" LMAO the swag is 🔥

Nice comeback Dlo,. Congrats lakeshow ❤

DLo just makes the game easier for everybody else, getting AD & team easy shots

DLO playing out of his mind right now. I don't know if the fits that good or if he is just that good right now.

The man of the hr go lakers 💜💛

Folks said , damn i killed that😂😂😂had me rolling to my grave 😂😂

Proud see Dlo matured

Russ swap has been clutch. Never have to worry about ego after a selfish performance anymore

Give Reaves his flowers he’s been balling

Truthfully, I high key watch the Lakers mostly to follow Reaves! (Obviously Bron, AD & the new mates)!

Imagine if this the roster lineup from the start of the season, i'll bet they're not in the play in spot

D lo happy to be back in La 😂

Getting Cavs 2018 vibes. They may not win it all but this is the turnaround they needed. Obviously just like that Cavs team once Bron and AD playing people roles will change so some guys may not give you that same production. Or they may cool off. Like Clarkson and Nance ended up doing later in that 2018 playoff run. But D'Lo? .....that man ain't playing lol.

Young man graduated for college now ready for a master degree in Basketball :))

D’lo shining as a laker is fate

OMG THANK YOU!! Finally a postgame interview with real insight on the game unlike you know who🤦‍♂️, who always gave weak ass/bland responses & never really answered the damn questions 😏

Who?

In Out DLo Westbrook Beasley Beverley Vando JTA Rui Nunn Lakers Won the trade deadline

Factos

@Kacy BarlowPat will be a vet in many locker rooms to come if bulls pass on him like Udonis with the heat

By a mile

@Kacy Barlow the bulls think otherwise about pat bev

Honestly all those guys. If Westbrook doesn’t work with the clippers he could be done. Pat Bev isn’t worth the headache anymore so teams may pass him as well

I see what he did with that KD reference LMAO

A Star is (Re)Born.

This is what we want, a young laker turned on, proud proud❤❤❤❤

not gonna lie if we can keep fighting til bron come back we gon have one helluva show

We needed this!

I was going to say he’s changed until the last comment 😂😂😂😂 nah great stuff DLO 💪

Letzz go lakers fam..

I’m still angry lakers can acquire all these players like nothing 😵‍💫

Hurry up and get back Bron so this team can make a run! Or at least give a top 3 seed a helluva first round series lol

Bring on the Knicks next!!!! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, great career, purpose is the result of hardwork and hustle overtime. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.

I'm a long term investor I'm from Australia 🇦🇺. I withdrew my profits of over £56,000 during the covid-19 pandemic..

I also needed his info too I'll write him thanks

BRIAN is the right person to start trading crypto or any investment with.he knows his way around the cryptø world. He has been helping me increase my investment every day for over months.

Did he literally mature overnight? Or was it that bad/ not covered in Minnesota?

Dudes game is smooth

Lakers really started the season 2-10 and about to end up the 5th seed…y’all don’t know what I been thru the last year and a half, because THIS is a Pg Lebron James can trust . Damn I wish we had this niggas all season

Lakerssssssss let’s gooooooo D’Lo🔥🔥🔥

If they play Memphis or the kings first round that is upset. Even if they faced Denver, AD will cancel out every effect jokic got in the game so at that point it two deep teams one with murray and one with lebron and I’m going with the king.

Dlo is him 😤

He's growing up and meanwhile Nick Young is outta the league

Glad rob pelinka picked up the phone and made this trade it’s way better to get 3 young players rather than russ in the mix with his turnovers and bricks but I like russ but it wasn’t gonna work from the start and mo bamba can’t forget about him he’s young and tall and can guard but sucks he’s gonna miss a whole month from his injury but glad to see dlo back sheesh dude went off for missing 6 games I thought he would have came back vs the grizzlies but lakers put up a fight even without their main leader which is Lebron y’all can hate and say he’s not the leader but he is Ad isn’t he’s supposed to be the 2nd best player behind LeBron and this game he had some good blocks points wise not so good only 8 points gotta do better but Dennis /reaves / and rui hachimura and Vanderbilt and Beasley all did good well Beasley was eh needs to do better and I wanna see dlo do his ice in my veins celebration can he not do that anymore ? I remember he did that with the nets and he was a killer in the nets 🎯🪣🔥! But gg lakers ! Rest for now cause Sunday it’s the Knicks !

DLo translator: I wanna play like Kyrie but I realize it’s dumb

They will be ok til lebron come back holding the ball all game trying to make everything go thru him🤦🏾‍♂️

@Jamie Thorpe exactly

You weren’t complaining when he was keeping Lakers afloat when AD was hurt…

Because his lebron everything will go thru AD and LeBron that’s their 2 best players with solid role players.

Man what did buddy say at the end of the interview that had everyone laughing? I only heard “damn I” something….

If he keeps playing like this I may even forgive him for being a snitch!! 👏👏 Redemption szn loading!! 🔥🔥🔥

yall forgave kobe for being a snitch. so might as well forgive DLO

@FabreezyWezzy your point is valid & I wholeheartedly feel you are entitled to your opinion (in today's over sensitive times I can see why you might be worried as my attitude seems to be in the minority lol) but for me snitching is also heinous...while not as serious i tend to look at it like murder no matter whatever great things or good deeds you do following the act that will always be part of your label.....snitching is a disgraceful act because it's disloyal af and being disloyal is disgusting just like cheating is disgusting because it's also disloyal- just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

Dlo was right

Crazy how 1 bad thing overshadows everything good the person does. You should also hold yourself to the same standard

Man it happend 7 almost 8 years Ago let it go😭🤦🏽‍♂️he a grown a.. man now

I need to see AD more aggressive tho honestly. He tends to fade away with other ball dominant players. Single digit points and shot attempts is unacceptable for our best player!

I always said giving away our youth was dumb but lakers wouldn't have been able to develop them without sending them somewhere else. Let them develop then get them back.........we need ingram back and randle but i know thats not bout to happen

Is that what it's called? Selflessness? That wasn't what it was called when Russ was on the team. When Russ was on the team, 8 points in 29 minutes was called being garbage. Typical Lakers fans though. Most toxic and inconsistent fanbase in the league

@PurpleGengar822 lmao you do you bro. Doesn't watch the game, watches an interview that doesn't have to do with Russ then starts complaining. Who's the clown here?

If you watched the game or just looked up how many shot attempts he had on this game, then you'll know why ..

Man I killed that lmao

Kyrie looking like.. this should have been me. Im conflicted if kyrie still want to be a laker it would make the team better tbh

The Lakers GM had a ski mask on at tho Trade Deadline… executive of the year 🏆 for this highway robbery

The young’n done grew up.

This nigga is the best speaker ever wtf😂😂😂

Except for those bad passes all good

What up tho DLo 🔥Game 👏

He trying to retire a Laker

These reporters be asking the clown questions

I ain’t forget u snitched on Nick Young 🤣 but imma let it go bcuz u balln🔥

This guy dey play basketball 🏀

Abi ooo. 😁👍

Pay this man

At this point lakers dont need kyrie no more ..

Russ wasnt the problem right ?

that boy was cooking

DLo🔥🐐
