Re: The Bulls have “serious concerns” about Lonzo Ball’s knee
This will force the bulls to find an actual backup pointguard .
Coby white is starting caliber but Donovan don’t like him . Not good enough defectively but who is?
Still is a good player and a winner.
Lonzo is fantastic but inconsistent . Kind guy you gotta let settle in, 1 or 2 seasons for max production. Early returns were fantastic. The defense and 3 point was v/wah lah
Even so Brunson and mitch r ( only as a reserve)are my ideal off-season

Hes been back out on the court but has been dealing with chronic knee swelling due to the meniscus. Thats why he was ruled out. He still hasnt been cleared to even attend summer league and may need another surgery to figure out whats going on with the swelling.
NBA teams are willing to hide their draft busts with "injuries." The Sixers did it with Markelle Fultz but shuffled between keeping him out totally and bringing him off the bench. The Warriors have decided to keep Wiseman playing in the minor leagues out of sight but active.
Such a dumb take from someone who obviously doesn’t follow the team or player. He was shut down after having some good games in the g league.

Re: The Bulls have “serious concerns” about Lonzo Ball’s knee
I think Lonzo's career ends up a little like Shaun Livingston. He's going to have injury concerns throughout his career (although LIvingston's issue was ACL and meniscus). I still think Zo can end up playing minutes on a winner at some point similar to Livingston on those Warrior teams.

He's a very solid defender and an excellent playmaker.

Re: The Bulls have “serious concerns” about Lonzo Ball’s knee
I wouldn't want Lonzo on my team. He's a walking problem of one sort or another in terms of basketball. There's always something with him. If it's not this, it's that.

Re: The Bulls have “serious concerns” about Lonzo Ball’s knee
Lonzo is a bust because he can't stay healthy. I'm actually surprised at how he improved his game but unfortunate that he can't stay on the court.

Or you know...he could be just hurt, which is the most simple and rational explanation.
It's so funny to me how everyone wants Wiseman to be a bust so badly because he's on the Warriors lol
We already got our wish. Wiseman is a bust in the years that matter for the Warriors, last year, this year, and the following year.
After that, Klay, Curry, and Dray will be completely washed and their contending window closes completely unless you think Kuminga and Poole are going to be superstars. Warriors could have picked a bunch of contributors for Curry's final years, instead they picked a project C that we won't know will be good until year 4 or 5, and that's if everything goes according to plan.
Wiseman has already been a bust.

Re: The Bulls have “serious concerns” about Lonzo Ball’s knee
Lonzo heals really slowly. That's the single reason I didn't mind he was traded in the Ad package. Getting a lot of injuries is one thing but his recovery time is always 5 times the expected for any injury. Really bad sign for him.

Maybe worse.
1) They traded their 2023 pick (1-4 protected) and 2025 pick (1-10 protected).
2) Lavine can walk for nothing. Or else, he will be a risky re-signing. He will demand a five-year Max with bad knees.
3) Lonzo's knees can be worse than Lavine"s. He might not be 100% next season and the Chicago window is very short.
4) DeRozan will be 33 years old next season and he vanishes in the playoffs. Vuc will be 32 years old and he is shooting poorly lately.

not true at all? why do people choose to just make things up
Fultz very famously had a nerve disorder that was difficult to diagnose & treat. it completely ruined any chance he had at stardom
if you watched him in college, he was a clear #1 pick

what? have you watched Lonzo play?
Lonzo is a GREAT shooter, a GREAT defender, a GREAT passer, and an amazing rebounder at his position. he's always played with weapons on his team chooses to distribute. he could easily jack up more shots to raise his scoring average / improve his stats, but is a team guy

Uh, some of us watched him play every single game for years. He does in fact stink. He is a great passer in transition, but stinks beyond belief in the halfcourt. He's also the most overrated defender I've ever seen. He gets absolutely COOKED by any of the good scorers.

The bulls biggest problem is charmin soft coaching an a complete misunderstanding of a number 1 ball handler .

The bulls have 2 multiple time allstars, and a 3rd option that averaged 18 and 10.
They need organizational improvements
