ORIGINAL: David Levine quote:
ORIGINAL: Karl Juhnke D’lo on his stay at Minnesota. quote:
”I felt like I was held back there, honestly," Russell said to The Athletic's Sam Amick. "I just kind of had to be the third option. Some nights, I was a little more aggressive and was kind of being held back. So to be in a position now where I can kind of thrive and be aggressive, and it gets guys going, and where the team reflects off of anybody with that type of energy, it's fun." . . . “I felt like I was gonna outplay my (Timberwolves) offer, whatever they wanted to offer me." Still a little deluded. That’s the D’lo we know. It clearly didn’t work here when he tried to be more than a third option. To his credit though. He didn’t really bad mouth Minnesota beyond this. He said he never asked out and would have loved to stay…though with his usual arrogance, speculating that his amazing talents were beyond what Minnesota would offer him. So who is he ahead of on the Lakers pecking chart? LeBron or AD? He or the article said LeBron facilitates, so on a given night D'lo can be the man or the second option. But as a whole agree he absolutely is no more than a third option. I wonder if he was spouting off after having a good game (scoring wise). Between him and AD, who knows what will happen in any game but at least AD shows a clear pattern of good game-bad game so far this postseason
