Other than injuries, how come Lonzo Ball couldn’t have at least been a Derrick White kind of player?
He was developing into that type of player before he got hurt. Chicago Bulls were rolling with him healthy since he and AC could make up for Lavine and DDR’s defensive issues, and Zo had developed his 3 point shot into a legit weapon.
I would gladly take Lonzo and take the chance that he resurrects his career. even if he doesn’t reach his potential he can still end up being a difference maker on a good team
I would dump MaxLew for Lonzo if unable to create a spot with an unbalanced trade elsewhere. Not either of Wood/CamRed/Hayes/Knecht/JHS/Bronny tho. _________________ When reasonably possible, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied. I haven’t seen a completely committed effort by the GM for the last 2 off seasons nor the last 2 trade deadlines. What is going on?

I think something around DLO + fillers for LaVine and Lonzo + a 1st round pick can be appealing for both parties

$46M Fillers????
Something like DLO/Rui/Vando for LaVine/Lonzo/Craig and a 1st round pick can be realistic

Oh no!!! No! No! No! I thought it was implied that it meant adding Lonzo for vet min after he’s bought out. Absolutely no assets are worth taking that risk otherwise. The rumor was that medical professionals said his career is over, I’m not trading anything before he plays. That price tag for LaVine/Lonzo is ~$64m, a GM would have to more out of his mind than even Rob to consider that. What do you mean appealing for both parties?

No its not... Then you add Craig? Yea, Not even close.
DLO/Rui/Vando = $46.5M total
Lavine/Lonzo/Craig = $67M total
Maybe if we add, holiday, KD, Ant we can get out of the first round. oly ball is boring, there is zero competition. _________________ Dave McMenamin on the Lebron ERA: "Underwhelming"

Are they just trolling us Miggz?

Lonzo has been working out this summer, and I have heard Bulls fans say that he’s looked pretty good in the work outs, not sure why we wouldn’t take the chance that he can come back next season and help out a contender, he doesn’t make sense on a rebuilding team like Chicago but if he comes to a contender and helps them in somewhat limited minutes

Not sure... IG is just being IG... It will suit him well if he can look up basic salaries. But that also gets in the way of his crazy trade proposals and takes.

If the trade is impossible due to salaries then that’s why there is multiple team trade scenarios .. my dude..

You never presented that my dude...
Also it does not matter if you want both Lonzo/Lavine... You still have to send out the same amount of money coming in or close to it.

Because the rumor is he won’t play again and he makes $21m that’s why not!!! Vet min on buy out to even consider it and still might pass without a roster spot. No! No! No! No! No!

Speaking of can we please keep this about Olympics basketball and not twilight zone trades please?!???? looking at you IG
Seriously I don't go in that thread because I don't want to read that crap I'm serious
Sorry TD, just having some Lonzo talk with my LG Buddies!!
GO USA!!!
My bad TD, guilty too, started with White on the Olympic Team and derailed after that. Thanks for the correction. Will do.
I may watch that S Sudan game again to see our guys plus Weynen!!! _________________ When reasonably possible, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied.

Kerr needs to pull Steph quicker in elimination games if he doesn’t get it together. This is asking for trouble because teams find a defender they can attack.
I may run the lineup of Ad/KD/LBj/ANt/Jure since lebron is the real point guard of this team anyways

He is really struggling with the physicality. Makes me wonder how he would fare in the 90's with hand checking.
Concur 100% with Lebron running the point anyway, give me some 2 way wings who can play on both ends.

He'll do just fine in the 90s... Just look at guys like Miller/Petrovic/Chapman/Abdul-Rauf
Curry is too crafty and clever for handchecking in that era... He'll draw a lot of cheap fouls doing swing throughs and pump fakes jumping into guys.
Grew-up watching 90s ball... Always thought physicality in that era is some what over stated. I mean the rules do let you get away with more stuff but 95% of the game is pretty normal.
