re: D'angelo Russell should we

To be fair the Lakers FO did end up getting fired and there was some crazy stupid nepotism family drama BS in the middle of all of their management decisions. Also, last summer was crazy because you had an unprecedented spike in the cap and not many good FAs to throw the money at but you had to do something with the money. Many teams also mistakenly thought the cap project for next year would rise by $3 million rather than decline by $6 million, so they thought they'd have $9 million more to work with this summer than they actually will.
