We've hit an all time low, folks. :banghead: :nonono: :curse:


I’m not quite sure anyone WANTS Lonzo.

Saying “I’m okay with Lonzo for an expiring Vuc / Ross” isn’t a passionate call of a support for him as a savior to the franchise.

Adding a promising rookie contract player at no cost other than a contract we don’t want... that basically how I read the situation.

don't tell anybody else ;)

You know that's the logic of people who want to add Exum to Orlando's growing list of prospects acquired that are projects on offense.


Nope. The logic is taking chances on as many young guys as possible and playing them big minutes. Its pretty straightforward stuff.

And you read it correctly. Some people like to be dramatic.

It would really suck getting ball and having to deal with his dad

Not just him bashing the team and coaching, but probably the city (not big enough of a market for him), and trying to get his son to go to the clippers, or knicks after his rookie deal (assuming he cuts ties all together with the lakers)

Would it suck more to get Lonzo or have another year of Vuc and Evan? I choose the former every single time.

The guy was the #2 pick last year, why would anyone not want him here? People are clamoring daily for the guy that got picked in front of him and his shot is completely broken and his head might not be far behind.

I'm not the world's biggest Lonzo guy, but I'd take him in a second over the dumpster fire we have now.

It’s not just his awful shot, it’s that he’s not really a threat to score anywhere. Lacks the ability to create offense and can’t finish at the hoop.

For a team with no (good) shot creators, it’s just not the route I’d want us to go.

Mills, Lonnie Walker, and Dejounte Murray are the only assets that are interesting and at all acquirable.



If we could get Walker with Mill or Murray, that would be SICK!!

The f*** does that mean? Get outta here then


Hmmm... sign and trade AG for Deng + ??? Lots of asset options

I dont think Ag wants to be here long term. But at this point he doesnt have a choice. lol

Lonzo would actually do a good, not better, job setting up Bamba and AG around the rim than what we hve right now. And its only going to cost us moving Vuc or TRoss, why not?

I mean I kinda posted why not. I think he’s a good passer too fwiw but he’d look awful here and the good passing would be somewhat negated by defenses sagging off daring him to shoot.

Would be amazing, I just am not sure if that is possible. Sounds like the Spurs want to rebuild around Walker/Kuzma/Ingram as their wings in an LA trade. If it is somehow possible to get Walker - yes please.

I would much prefer this route. Not a fan of the headache that Lonzo Ball would bring if we acquired him.
