We need another shooter badly and he would fit well as a PF with Melo, Kon, and Miller.

Obviously would love to give up Miles for him, but I imagine it would have to include the Heat pick, Salaun, and atleast one of McKeely and/or Sion.

they have listed him as untouchable, i like him as a young Pf, but his stats dont scream anything exciting

We can't be buyers with this record.

This years draft pick is becoming one of our best assets.

Only question is if we will become sellers to tank harder.

We have a 20 year old who is our best player right. We don’t even have to tank.

LaMelo is a certifiable knucklehead who is a savant on the court. Unfortuantely for us part of being the best player is setting a standard with maturity and preparation, things that Ball seems atrocious at. I can understand the argument for keeping him, I was ready to deal Ball before we know what we had in Kon. Seeing how Ball beat out Edwards for ROTY and seeing their trajectories since, is extremely disconcerting. I think if he ever does figure it out it'll be somewhere with Vets who outshine him and make him raise his standards. The last time we had someone of similar stature to Ball was Kemba who I was ready to deal bc I was worried about his next contract. I mean before that you have to go back to Al? I probably gave you more time than you deserved in my reply.

I'd also add my desire for us to deal Ball has only been enhanced by this season where after I wanna say a good first 3 games to the season he's regressed back into the court jester he seems he wants to be.
