Yeah no sht lol

DSJ hasn't shown anything, Knox hasn't really shown anything, Robinson is a stud value prospect but he isn't getting anyone special....who else they got? Trier? I like him but again, he's a value guy you throw into a deal to get it over the line but he's not getting you anyone on his own.

If we're looking for a guard that can't shoot. Would much rather prefer Rubio over Ball.

I'm the exact opposite ball could in theory still improve his game, Rubio is what he is and would rather stick with what we have now than add Rubio... His assits get exaggerated by Gobert

that being said about 10 other options I prefer over either

I think they are both around the same level for me but I'm more excited about Ball.

Not getting my hopes up but it would be nice to see Ball in a Suns uni at the beginning of the season.

Does it make the Suns better? Can’t worry if the Lakers get better. Do the Suns get better.

No ... too many negatives for Ball. Poor shooter, poor free throw shooter, family drama,

Yes real negatives.

But also some real positives, good distributor, great team and individual D and family drama appear to have significantly subsided even though he's still under the bright lights of Hollywood.

I don't really want Ball, but he was an ok 3 pt shooter this year on fairly decent volume...about 5 attempts per game. 32.9%..that was higher than Book this past year.

He shot over 41% from 3 in college. His form is terrible but somehow he shoots an ok %. He was about 60% at the rim too which is good...didn't get to the FT line much but that's a good thing in his case.

The biggest problem is he isn't a good pick and roll player.

But being the guy to bring the ball up the court, run a fast break, set everyone else up. Hit Ayton for lobs or easy baskets...just having that great court vision and passer would be nice to watch. Then Booker could handle the ball a lot and run more pick and roll. Lonzo, if he could maintain at least his 3 pt shooting and especially if he could improve, could possibly spread the floor.

He's not quite as bad as shooter as people say (other than FT shooting) and takes the vast majority of his shots from 3 or at the rim, so he's taking smart shots. He's terrible from 3-16 feet though. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/balllo01/shooting/2019

I am not really high on him, but I think he'd be fun to watch and be great on the defensive side next to Booker with nice size, and would set people up for a lot of easy baskets.

Its BS. If you click the link to the story, this is all that is said:

ESPN is never a destination for exclusive news these days, but Adrian Wojnarowski has reported something eye-raising this week. According to his sources, the New Orleans Pelicans are facilitating a multi-team deal, that will center on Anthony Davis going to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Current Pelicans GM and friend of LeBron James, David Griffin, wants to get this deal done as soon as possible, by catering to the needs of AD and King James Klutch Sports.

The likes of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram are names that will likely get axed in the coming days, along with their 4th overall pick in the NBA Draft. New Orleans believes they can get more future picks for the players Los Angeles will have to part ways with, which could mean the Phoenix Suns stepping in to acquire Zo.

Take a look at the breakdown below.

I'm sure there are other trade options for the #6 pick besides Ball.

I'd take Lonzo over Coby White, if that's the choice.

Our defense would be so sick with lonzo.
