Milton’s Mid-Season Lakers Adventure…
In a galaxy not so far away, the Los Angeles Lakers swung a trade, teleporting Shake Milton and Dorian Finney-Smith from the Brooklyn Nets to L.A. for D’Angelo Russell and some magic beans—I mean, second-round picks. It was a bold move, considering the Lakers remained quiet as a mouse at a disco party during the summer of 2024. While Finney-Smith brought the defense like a Jedi with a lightsaber, Milton was more like the puzzled apprentice unsure of his role in the force. Gabe Vincent’s play was as unpredictable as a cat on a skateboard, leading to questions about Milton’s spot in the lineup.
Milton, a seven-year veteran, found himself as elusive as a chameleon in the candy store trying to turn invisible. Yet he managed to show off his skills in spurts like the time he dropped 21 points against the Wizards, shooting better than a water pistol at a carnival game. His future, however, couldn’t quite secure him a spot on the Lakers, leaving him to wave goodbye like a penguin trying to fly. But worry not, because he quickly signed with KK Partizan in Serbia, perhaps ready to become the basketball equivalent of a Serbian folklore legend!
