This shouldn't come in to the decision at all. You can't have the rest of the team treated one way and him the other. That just makes a bad situation worse.

The hype machine has ruined several players over the years. It has been on 11 since he was drafted and it's created a lot of animosity toward him around the league. If he gets through this he'll be better for it.

Wow, we lost to the Suns at home. Time to worry a little bit.

Lonzo will be fine. He had a big game a few weeks back and is a starter so he got scouted by his opponents in a hurry. He's taken seriously by opposing coaches and players and so he's jonna have a tough time right now. Most rookies don't see themselves intricately scouted until later in the season, second meeting type thing. It's different for Ball. And he was 19 only a few weeks ago.

If anyone wonders what will be when he's a grown up, watch summer league where he played against equal experienced competition.

His quick and efficient passes were easily received and shots were made because he was so efficient, getting guys the passes in spots where they could score. It looked effortless to him.

That's what I expect from Lonzo next season.

Right now, I expect his opponents to do all they can not to get lit up by the rookie with a loud mouth dad. I expect him to eat some humble pie, realize how hard he's gonna have to work for the same dominance in the NBA.

In this case, I can't wait to say "told you so" to all the doubters with no patience.

We're suppose to get healthy on teams like the Suns. This was a bad L.

Harden and company just whipped the same Suns team...That tells you we are still in for another mediocre season..
