If it was all about winning he wouldn't even consider the Lakers in the first place. It's not as if he's never tasted winning before. The Pacers were the first seed in 2014 and went to the ECF.

Watching these guys' interviews, its astonishing how low key and reserve Lonzo Ball is when we all know who his dad is.

Total opposites.

I was high on this kid till the Magic drafted him. Their draft track record sucks.

exactly.. he'll stay in Boston if he lands there. Boston is not making the trade without some assurances. His agent is also D'Los agent so that loyalty is gone now

Everything's been pretty basic so far... We got lonzo which was a huge relief but the rest of the picks have been kinda boring tbh

Yeah i'm hoping he either gets traded to us in the next hour before the 27 and 28 pick or not get traded at all.

So losing to Lebron in the ECF instead of the second round is enough for him to re-sign? Right.

He's not staying in Boston. Let them cough up assets. Its just gonna be sweeter when we get him for free.

Yeah he's so composed.

His dad's such a character but he's growing on me. I think this Lonzo good since he has this constant "motivator".

Looks like POR is building up for a PG trade.
And SAC is just pure stupid if they do this.

Malik Monk is gonna be the steal of the draft. Maybe not right away, but he's gonna be really good.
