Thought the same. He's built like a rock conditioned like LeBron...lack of peds. Once he starts taking them he'll start playing consecutive 82 games a season.

his torso isn't very wide but he's built up pretty strongly, he certainly isn't bulked up like lebron

Just clicked on a track by 'Zo' on Spotify and realised it was Lonzo Ball. Man that family is insane, would not be surprised to find out that their surname is really Ball™ :lol:

Guy who wrote this says he read it on a kings forum.

So I did a little trade machine look and IT/Shumpert for Hill works. Think thats good for Cleveland? I think it makes them better,

The self-proclaimed insider on the Kings board also mentioned the same thing. I think his SN is dozenscousins or something. He hinted at it. Now, I can see the Kings dumping him for next to nothing since his contract runs for another 2 more years, and since they're tanking, they really don't have a use for him. The question is - do the Cavs really want to take on the rest of that contract? He'll have something like 2 years, $38 million after this season.

19 million next season, and 18 million in 19-20 but only guaranteed 1 that year. I want IT traded so he doesn't cause a distraction on Pierce's night, deadline is on the 8th...

AD goes 2-8 against the Hawks after walking all over us...

Well, nobody can score in his team. And he is kind of a ballhog, no even watching where are his teammates when he has the ball.

He's damn good though. I think Danny liked him a lot in the draft

Yeah, no need to shoot down what Mitchell has done because Tatum has played well too. If Mitchell wins ROY, he will likely deserve it. Nobody is going out of their way to hype up a mid first rounder playing in Utah.

According to Bill Simmons we wanted to trade up to pick him up but we thought PG was going to be a Celtic and didn't make the trade.

That would have been one SICK draft.

He’s right about the PG thing that was locked in, not 100% sure on the DM trade up though....

I mentioned this in the game thread but the refs HANDED the game to the Cavs vs Orlando tonight. Cavs down 1, IT got tied up on a drive, CLEAR tie up, and they call a shooting foul. After he makes 2, Payton misses what should've been the game winner, and IT steps out trying to save the ball; however, on review, they call it an unclear jump ball with .1 seconds, ending the game.

F*** the Cavs. I'll say it every f***** day. These clowns did not deserve that win.

It would be just like Ainge to try and add Walker as a 6th man

Seriously, could a Walker - Kyrie backcourt survive defensively enough to be worth the expenditure?
It is kind of an Ainge-ish move, but they would want a lot. Still, what firepower...

He has a team friendly contract that's for sure...Hornets will likely want to tie another contract to him IMO.

The Hornets seem to have a lot of bad contracts.

Yeah, I immediately thought it was the kind of move for a talented player Danny would make, regardless of fit.

Jakeopp · Post #1040 » by **Jakeopp** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 7:07 pm

Great player, but I can't see him coming off the bench and he's certainly not starting alongside Kyrie at 6'1 with mediocre (at best) defense.
