Lonzo and LaMelo are both really injury-prone, so I wouldn't sign either of them.

I'd assume the Cavs and Lonzo have a mutual understanding to significantly load manage Lonzo. Unfortunately there's no reason to believe this will be the first season of his career that he's healthy. Even last season after his corrective surgery he missed nearly 60% of games and had to sit out back-to-backs.

With that said the Cavs were an elite regular season team and still have the personnel to secure a top seed while sparingly utilizing Lonzo until the playoffs.

With everything I have seen surrounding his career, he will never be "good to go", unless you mean to go from the league. He should leave while he can still walk.

He has played 287 games out of a potential 656 games, including 2 full seasons back to back.

Why even suit up for a worthless Chicago Bulls franchise (two seasons of relevance since MJ left in the past 25 years).

Didn't see this, confused by both sides. He's averaged 35 games a season for 8 years. What are they doing, there has to be better value than that out there.
