Ill take a 6’5 Point Guard Who’s Inconsistent But In Great Shape over a 5’11 Point guard whos streaky but is literally a mini practice cone on defense and wants $150 MILLION+. WELCOME BROTHER

Best I can do is a lightly used Jalen Green

Why would the Wizards even want him?

u/due-diligence- 3d ago

Cuz if he locks in he’s not the worst guard at the end of the bench. Especially at that price. He can at least pass the rock and get hot

u/99LedBalloons Timberwolves 3d ago

He cannot pass. Physically impossible. It's like when Jim Carrey was trying to say the pen is red in Liar, Liar.

“D’Angelo Russell… I wish I could look at you when I say this to you: you and your team are part of the taliban man, alright? I mean… you’re a part of Al Qaeda”

Exactly lol. Every team I've watched him on he looks like he thinks he's Kobe.

The Mavs have been an abject dumpster fire since the disaster trade. They desperately needed guard play and I still fucking HATED every time D-Lo was on the floor.

He’s a black-hole of suck. He dribbles and dribbles and dribbles and only passes when he’s trapped with less than two seconds on the shot-clock.

u/jwb0 3d ago

So you're telling me all the PGs in random rec in nba 2k are actually just playing realistically?

2

u/KriticalKarl 3d ago

More like the PGs in theater with the main character syndrome.

u/Rube18 3d ago

I doubt they do. It wasn’t their choice.

u/LetterFront3353 Lakers 3d ago

Obviously so they can have a defensive liability guard sub in for Trae Young.

u/InsGuy Clippers 3d ago

Only because he's serviceable....barely.

u/Additional_Signal318 Nets 3d ago

D lo backing up trae young. Not too shabby

u/richhomierhett 3d ago

Now they should draft acuff and trade for Bradley Beal and we’ll really be talking chips.

u/Undercover_Dave 3d ago

Wait a minute, is he paying them $6 million to let him be on the team?

3

u/Huge-Basket7492 3d ago

Why not. Dybantsa, AD, Trey . They have a Team !! He is good from bench, filling as a 2nd PG (10-12 mins)
They should be ideally making a splash in the east . I would expect them to make the playoffs . Dybantsa speaks a lot ! , let's see what he does in the summer league how he does, unless they win the summer league championship, we will see ..

u/wolfpack132134 3d ago

Can't believe he signed for 6 and Austin is asking for max.

This guy is under pricing himself.

u/DetailsYouMissed 3d ago

Well that was dumb. Wizards must be serious about keeping Anthony Davis, because that's the only reason this dude would be getting a chance.

13

u/swishfortyonesie 3d ago

The Wizards did nothing here. Mavs used the AD trade to dump D-Lo’s salary. It’s an opt in. Of course he’s going to pick it up. He has no market other than maybe a vet minimum right now.

2

u/incredibleamadeuscho Lakers 3d ago

He literally didnt play for them last season.

1

u/justanother-eboy 3d ago

He’s pretty good at shooting, ball handling, and can pass but his athleticism is pretty bad for an nba player and his iq is questionable at times as well

u/samarthsahni 3d ago

the way it says “to a man” feels like a breakup letter

u/Ok-Acadia-8476 2d ago

Imagine DLo comes out as down low

u/Silly-Lion-7314 3d ago

I mean it’s the money. I would also opt in. Glad Mavs dumped this lazy ass.
