I think they’ll first try and find the right pieces to surround them with and see how that goes. They’ve been pretty hamstrung the last few years in being able to make moves but with all these expiring’s and a few young carrots they can definitely change the face of this team around them. Let’s start by getting some real PG’s who can lead the team and play some defense.
A low risk high reward PG might be Lonzo Ball. Health issues are what have him attainable, but if he is healthy with that transplant, he provides the defense we need at the PG position and the passing we are desperate for. That would make Bam life easier with a few bunnies thrown his way. Another low risk high reward move would be Chris Paul. He did wonders for Castle and he has a history of helping wing players become better. We might need to outbid the Spurs assuming he wants to come here but thats another underrated move that can payoff dividends.
Lonzo just signed an extension with the Bulls so i don’t see him as a option like he was when he was an impending free agent.
The reports are they signed him to that extension to trade him. It’s a 2 year 20 mil total deal, with the second year a team option, so it’s just a 1 year 10 mil guaranteed contract. If he gets hurt or plays bad, you can choose to not pick up the option. If he plays good you got yourself a bargain at the PG position. Low risk high reward.
