Green to KD

"you see what we're missing"

after 2016 finals loss


Curry and GS couldn't score in half court at the end of any of the games vs CLE. ISO ball at the end is what won CLE the championship.

How about the Green suspension...? Calling Curry overrated is not a good look on you. You know better than that.

Giannis is still playing the same way, Middleton is mediocre and Holiday doesn’t improve this team. Same recipe, same result.

We need to get Lonzo if we can’t get Cade/Suggs. Lonzo’s jumper looks better than ever

They got killed. He was scoring in what was garbage time. He can score in non-garbage time but nobody should swoon over a fancy dunk.

Yep, this what I was saying the other day in around the league. He changed his shot again after the bubble, so it’s even better than last year’s.
I think if he plays too good, they might match any offer.

We need to see what move they make with their assets, cause I don't think they want Bledsoe to be there for too long. And if they trade for another big piece to join BI & Zion, then it could get tricky for them to pay Lonzo too...and if that happens it'd probably make sense for them to work out a trade not to match on Lonzo, if he isn't part of the trade for that 3rd star.

If the Pelicans are grooming Kira Lewis as their starting PG next year we might be able to snag Lonzo. Slim chance though. I think they’re gonna keep Lonzo if he keeps this up. He’s like the perfect fit for them

They can try to keep him, but letting him go to restricted free agency is risky, especially for a small market team that's cash strapped even without a pandemic. I think they'll be over the cap if he gets a FVV type of deal, which is entirely possible because of his age and the lack of free agents on the market.


Lonzo would be a good pickup even if we drafted Suggs or Cade too.
