This comment. Thread is a total no-brainer.

Explain! Let’s get some discussion going.

Schroeder at 1yr /6 looks pretty nice compared to some of these years and dollar amounts.

Dennis isn't in the question but he is the answer, and the fact that he may be a backup is icing on the cake


I forgot about Schroeder and should’ve included him in the question. Having said that, as a Knick fan, I’m not sure I’d rather have Schroeder as my starting point guard.

Bulls obviously think he's a point guard

Which he can be, if he completely re-writes his half court game.

I wouldn't bet on it

Replace Jrue and Hart with LaVine in this linked video... I think that explains the Bulls thinking....

Easily Lowry if your goal is to win. He has such a big impact on winning on both ends of the court, it's insane to me how he's not winning this poll in a landslide. Just reaffirms my notion that there are a lot of casual fans on this board.

Lonzo is getting laughably overrated.

Because a lot of people don't trust a 35 year old 6'0" player that just missed a third of a season for a team that lost two thirds of their games and basketball is played on two sides of the floor.

Lonzo is just a lot less risk on a 2/3rds contract.


"just missed a third of a season" / "lost two thirds of their games"

a) 4th most games lost to COVID/Injuries
b) only team to play the ENTIRE season away from home (ie every game an away game)
c) they were tanking

"basketball is played on two sides of the floor" + "6'0" player"

lol

never seen him play huh?

Lowry for me.
He's has the experience and skill set at the one position that make him worthy of the 30m per session he's being paid. He's also the closest to being a hall of fame player. Sorry Ball, you still have time to prove yourself.

Kemba. Cheaper than all 3 at $8m per year. Low risk.

In terms of impact the correct answer is Lowry. Youth and manageable contract is on Ball’s side. I honestly think Kemba won’t make it through a full season without missing significant time.
