I know one word of Chinese, it means "hello":
你好
Nǐ hǎo
Basically pronounced: Knee - HOW
A parrot in a restuarant in China taught it to me...

SILK MAKES NBA HISTORY. D'Angelo Russell is quietly one of the best young guards in the NBA. And by quietly, I mean he reached a pretty meaningful NBA landmark faster than anyone else in history, and nobody really seems to have noticed.
Of all the great shooters in NBA history, this record belongs to Silk.
He's set to be a free agent this offseason, which means he's about to get absolutely paid, and hopefully a contending team is smart enough to realize his potential.

(June 22, 2017) – The Brooklyn Nets have acquired D’Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Brook Lopez and the rights to Kyle Kuzma, the 27th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Gee, I wonder which team came out ahead on that trade.

CLEVELAND – D’Angelo Russell couldn’t seem to get much of anything going offensively.
Playing on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers in his final game with the Brooklyn Nets before heading to Charlotte to take part in his first NBA All-Star game, the former Ohio State guard opened Wednesday’s game by making 1-of-11 shots with six turnovers. He wasn't even on the court for the Nets' final possession of regulation.
But with the game heading to overtime, Russell began to heat up. He scored seven points in the five-minute period, including a pair of go-ahead free throws after drawing a foul with 16 seconds remaining. Collin Sexton tied it up with a layup, though, and sent the game to double overtime, and then a miraculous 3-pointer from Brooklyn's DeMarre Carroll sent it to triple overtime.
Finally, Russell turned it on.
First came the jumper from the left elbow, which rattled in. The next time down the court, he drained an off-balance floater as he fell to the ground. Russell followed that up with a 3-pointer, then he drilled a leaning shot from the top of the key that deflated the Quicken Loans Arena crowd, gave the Nets a six-point and forced Cleveland to call a timeout. That didn't slow him down, though. On the first possession out of the timeout, he hit a jumper after a pick freed him up.
Russell made another 3-pointer before the final buzzer sounded, scoring 14 of Brooklyn's 18 points in triple overtime to propel the Nets to a 148-139 victory.
“He was really struggling,” Brooklyn head coach Kenny Atkinson said. “That's the sign of an All-Star. When you can struggle the whole game and come back like that, hit some tough shots and a big three on Stauskas, obviously that's huge. Real credit to his mental fortitude and resilience. Heck of a job by him.”
Russell had a team-high 36 points, marking the ninth game in a row that he has led the Nets in scoring, and he had the most points in a single game during that stretch on Wednesday.
He added seven rebounds and eight assists, coming one away from Caris LeVert's team-leading nine assists. Russell has led the team in assists in 11 of the past 13 games.
Even with the 14-point triple-overtime outburst, Russell still hit just 13-of-30 shots from the field and went 5-of-15 from beyond the arc. But at the end of the game, he wanted the ball. When Atkinson was asked whether he called plays for Russell or intentionally put the game in his hands in the final five minutes, he chuckled.
“No, he got the ball in his own hands,” Atkinson said. “Because I called one play, and it was for Joe, and he kind of waved me off – which that happens – and he subsequently hit the shot. No complaints here. I think he saw a mismatch he had on the court, and he exploited it.”
Russell treated Ohio State video coordinator Kyle Davis to quite the performance.
Davis had never been to an NBA game before, but he headed up from Columbus to Cleveland to see Russell in action.
“That's my guy,” Russell told Eleven Warriors. “We stay in contact. I remember recently I asked for all my games at Ohio State, all my scrimmages, and he came through. That guy used to drive me to class sometimes. Much respect. We stay in touch.”
When Russell was a Buckeye for the 2014-15 season, Davis was a manager.
Davis worked as an undergraduate manager from 2010 to 2014, then as a graduate manager in 2015 and 2016. After earning his Master's Degree in sports management, Thad Matta hired him as video coordinator, and Chris Holtmann retained him when he was replaced Matta in 2017.

Kuzma is alright... but they couldnt find a way to keep their Kyrie and sign Lebron?
Besides, it was really a view that Lonzo > D'Angelo. Hows that working out for them... even if we exclude his idiotic father, Lonzo is a downgrade.
And the Lakers know that now - attempting to trade both those guys, and some more filler, just to get a 2nd baller with Lebron.
The Lakers are trash.
