I’d love to see this team take a gamble and do what it takes (Knox/Dallas 1st) to bring in Lonzo Ball.

Lonzo
IQ
RJ
Obi
Mitch

We need a PG to throw them lobs and find everyone in the right position.

He’s going to break out this year.

I'm all in on that but are the Pelicans even shopping him?

Read on Twitter

that's not ideal, but then again they didn't have any 2nd rounders to trade and probably didn't want to trade 1sts b/c they know they'll still be a lottery team

Yep, a simple stretch/waive of Batum. Disappointing.

That’s 9million on their books. They are so dumb.

If someone's offering you 120M, that haircut can quickly turn into a fade lol.

Gordan is going to start reading Revolutionary Suicide for 120m

Randle for Batum only frees up like 7M.

I'm sure there's an equitable arrangement that can be decided on...

Oh God!!! What do you think they're going to get ptsd? Come on man... If their psyche's are that fragile they ain't built for it anyways.

Nah b your just setting these boys up to fail your putting them in a bad situation no talent to learn from nothing I’m not out here hoping we give out these crazy ass contracts that are being given out like candy at Halloween but I’m not for tanking either all I want is for our guys have the best chance to succeeed

Well, who were we supposed to sign that wouldn't set these kids to fail? This FA class was abysmal. We were going to be a bad team one way or another.

I am not upset at us throwing our cap space on someone like FVV after the contract he got. He probably even took a pay cut because it meant staying in TOR. Do you really think he would have accepted the same contract here so he can play with one of the worst teams in the league?

Not having a PG doesn't hurt RJ in the least bit. Ideally we should have multiple ball handlers but RJ getting reps as primary creator is good for his long term development. The Wolves used to play LaVine at PG and while he was terrible at it, it helped him become a better playmaker and someone who can now be a secondary creator.

He'll come in and immediately tell the kids to get the hell out as soon as they can :lol:

So Hayward cost a fellow conference team 40 million per year?

Doesn't Gordon have a hipster haircut? Why is it racist? I'm out of the loop.
