What are Lockes thoughts on DAngelo Russell in that podcast?
You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Lives off mid-range and that's a tough way to live. Usage rate has gone up and paint attempts and ft rate have gone down... basically not sure if he's good or not. Locke loves efficiency so DLo is likely not his first choice.
There is value to creating offense, I just worry he never creates good offense and that we'd be better off going another route. I'd be terrified to have him on a max deal, but I'd understand getting him.

Wow! Atlanta doin work... couple first for their cap space and Prince (who they had been shopping quite a bit based on rumors).
Is it Kyrie and KD? Is it Kyrie and Russell? Kyrie and Tobias? Kyrie and Jimmy?
Hmmmmmmmmmm… Celtics are prolly super bummed.
If I had to guess Kyrie + KD...

I remember Jimmy wanted to team up with Kyrie... I'll guess Jimmy and Kyrie.
I can't see Kyrie and Russell working well, but Dinwiddie has trade value... will be curious to see how this shakes out. I think it's good for us either way.

Wow, that is a great trade for both sides.
Yes. Favors' contract simply becomes guaranteed in the process.
I would too, but I don't think the FO sees it that way. Jabari is a really easy way to make some big improvements, which, again, I don't believe the FO sees it that way.

So apparently now we need to root for the Nets to land a big-time free agent to play next to Kyrie. It feels like an unrestricted D-Lo is our best chance to make a splash.
