I am just calling it the way I see it.
I have never believed that Lebron would not play in LA because of Lavar.
Magic said it himself, Magic will ask Lebron for his input regarding major player decisions.
Magic also said that Lebron knew the current Laker roster better than he did during his 3 hour visit when free agency began.
If Lebron was not onboard with Lonzo then Lonzo would have been traded by now.
Isiah Thomas was let go and so was Randle. That should speak volumes about what Lebron thinks of those two.
Lonzo is still on the team and Magic makes an effort to include Lonzo's name when talking about the future of the young core.
Pelinka says the Lakers are committed to developing young players.
The writing is on the wall.
Lonzo is here to stay.
And next year there will be no pressure from the Front Office for Lonzo to lead this team and play hard every night.
If you hate on Lonzo and want him to fail then you will have hard time watching any game Lonzo plays in this year because he has no pressure to produce.
The bar has been lowered from Lavar's big baller trash talk to reasonable expectations for a top one and done lottery pick.
Joel Embid only played 31 games during his rookie season and Lonzo played 52.
Lonzo will not have any pressure this year except to improve his game and cover at least more than 52 games or approximately 2000 minutes of good defense and making open shots.
With Rondo and KCP, Lonzo will not have to play point guard but he can still start a fast break if he gets the opportunity.
Yeah there are a lot of Lonzo haters who have nothing bad to say about Lonzo.
But there are also a lot of Laker fans who feel that everything is going on schedule for Lonzo and his 5 year rookie contract and development.

Can't he release a video of him hitting 10 threes in a row or something?

It's not like torn meniscus heals...if it's detached it needs to be removed or it causes more damage, inflammation etc. Why wait until the middle of the offseason? Very curious for a guy who obviously needs a full and uninterrupted stretch of development. Even more curious when the team is making big changes.
I think Luke fired a shot across his bow with the PG competition statement. Let's hope he takes that seriously.

I believe peanutbutter irrelevant especially when he talks.
But at the same time I don't like talking trash about him.
Talking bad about peanutbutter does not really accomplish anything.

It's possible that he took ~8 weeks to rehab it and see if it healed and then decided to get surgery when it didn't
How your orthopaedic surgeon treats your tear will depend on the type of tear you have, its size, and location.
The outside one-third of the meniscus has a rich blood supply. A tear in this "red" zone may heal on its own, or can often be repaired with surgery. A longitudinal tear is an example of this kind of tear.
In contrast, the inner two-thirds of the meniscus lacks a blood supply. Without nutrients from blood, tears in this "white" zone cannot heal. These complex tears are often in thin, worn cartilage. Because the pieces cannot grow back together, tears in this zone are usually surgically trimmed away.
Along with the type of tear you have, your age, activity level, and any related injuries will factor into your treatment plan.
