Re: Lonzo will most likely be shut down for the whole season
This isn’t all that surprising. Hopefully he can get healthy. When he’s on the floor he’s a decently positive impact player. He’s just had so many health issues…
Numbers rule the universe.

This was self explanatory I thought. If they somehow land their own pick, that could potentially somewhat save Karnis behind.

Re: Lonzo will most likely be shut down for the whole season
Sounds like his career is over. Really sad. Hated him at UCLA but he's one of the best college players I've ever seen.

Man that is just sad. Dude is now a legit good player. Great defensively, and now a really good 3 point shooter and off-ball passer.
Really hope he can comeback from this somehow. He doesn’t deserve these kind of injuries (not that any player does, but you get what I mean).

Re: Lonzo will most likely be shut down for the whole season
Brandon Roy situation potentially incoming.
Bulls fans and players with knee issues isn't anything new.
First it was Derrick Rose, Zach, and now Ball.
We assume the worst now.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.
NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Re: Lonzo will most likely be shut down for the whole season
His contract will have him set for life (if he's smart with his money) even if he doesn't come back... but I still feel bad for someone you can see WORKED at holes in their game and attempted to (and did) improve.

Shutting down? He hasn't even started up.
Follow the science not some internet physician & get your shots.

Re: Lonzo will most likely be shut down for the whole season
I feel like the majority of Bulls fans had no expectation of him playing this season as of, oh, November or so.
It's been an absolute baffling sequence of events, especially with the organization's blatant dissembling of the injury and rehab processes.

Pretty common thought around Chicago that he might be done for good.

No, in fact they still don’t know what the problem actually is.

How'd they dissemble their injury and rehab processes? Lonzo has his own doctors, I'm sure, but the Bulls could certainly be liable if what you're saying is the case...

Hasn't this been obvious?

Three years left of the 4yrs, $80 million he signed for. The final year is a player option. I doubt his career is over.azcatz11 wrote:Sounds like his career is over. Really sad. Hated him at UCLA but he's one of the best college players I've ever seen.

Re: Lonzo will most likely be shut down for the whole season
I remember earlier in the year Lowe saying his progress updates sounded like a person in a nursing home. " Lonzo walked down the hallway by himself today." "He's not yet ready for stairs." I hate careers cut short by injuries.
