Again, Lonzo is most similar to Jason Kidd, in that he has a low footprint but large impact player. He changes the culture and unselfishness of a team. He gets the most of his teammates, he doesn't force them to sacrifice for his game, he elevates theirs. Lonzo's usage rate: 17. Kidd's career was 19, Lebron's is 32. Huge difference in how the ball sticks or moves.
And on this roster, we need that ball to move.
Listening to some of you speak, one would assume that the Lakers were killing it those 18 games LeBron missed.
With Lonzo supposedly running the offense “better”, it is interesting that they were a bottom 5 offense and went 6-12 without LeBron. With Lonzo supposedly making those around him better, it is interesting that Kuzma, McGee, Chandler and Hart all coincidentally went into the tank once LeBron went down.
Nothing you guys claim has a basis in reality. You guys are simply in auto pilot shoveling the same propaganda you spewed in the off season.
If the Lakers plan to sit LeBron (for “recovery” purposes) and tank then giving Lonzo the offense is an excellent idea.
If the Lakers are serious about making a playoff push then that is the most preposterous idea imaginable.
Lonzo and LBJ were both out at the same time, but I would’ve loved to see Lonzo run the team for that stretch, indeed. We would be in the playoffs.
Haha actually help proving the guys point that the fan base gets delusional. They weren’t hurt simultaneously and we weren’t on any kind of pace to get near the playoffs with zo and without bron.
