I mean that's kinda a pretty huge negative. Like saying the only thing wrong with that girl is she has no arms or legs. Other than that she's perfect lol
Lonzo was great with the Lakers and we were all happy with him. Lakers just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get AD. It turned into a quick championship. Now he can come back.
I would give Lonzo one more try . Defense , size , those look ahead passes that push the tempo.. he would definitely boost defense and offense… the health yeah idk . Flip a coin
21 mil isn't a crazy high number. I think lonzo will round into form with more basketball reps out there. Im thinking mid February he'll be in basketball shape. Wouldn't mind LA going after him
A trade could be something like Lonzo, Ayo, Vuc, Craig for Dlo, Rui, Gabe and Wood. Plus a first and some added draft capital. Adding Vuc, Lonzo, Craig to the bench and Ayo starting next to AR. Max to start as well, both Max and Ayo are solid wing defenders, though slightly undersized. Vando when healthy may slot at 3 instead. Try to make an additional move for Day’Ron Sharpe for JHS and Jaxson Hayes so you are covered center wise.
Lakers should target Lonzo and Ayo. Lonzo is on a minutes restriction (20 min ish now I think) . However for second round picks he could be a major upgrade in the DLo role with a much higher upside and the ability to fit with AD post LeBron. Also if you trade for him now you get his bird rights.
Big game for Ball tonight! Didn’t shoot well at ALL in the first half but scoring wasn’t needed as much as his good decision making, had 3 assists and a few rebounds. But in the 2nd half he stepped up after Giddey going down. Without Levine and Giddey he settled the team down in the 4th and hit 2 big 3’s and 2 Big free throws after their 9 pts lead evaporated to 3. He calmed the team down had several good pass inside th Vuc, and he hit a couple and Vuc miissec a couple easy baskets! But they pulled out a tough game. Grady Dick played outstanding keeping the raptors close at the end, hit 4 straight free throws and a few big 3’s! Plus Ball had a season high 23 minutes and even though he finished 2-9 2-8 from 3, his 2 makes late we’re huge! And those 2 clutch free throws to keep the lead and they’re big, he’s obviously had problems years ago even though his 3 pt % was very good he shot like a very pedestrian 60% from the FT line. They were very important!
A perfect compliment , role player for the defending Champion Celtics. Not sure if they’d be willing to part with a 2nd rounder, but minutes on the C’s aren’t real plentiful and he’d probably have to readjust his contract and he seems to me to the type who’d see that as a possible reasonable concession to his cadaver ligament worries but he’s obviously one of the premier pass first 3 & D guys in the league. His basketball IQ is off the charts! A possible player/coach on the floor. He’s obviously got heart! Who goes through his circumstances and he’s been bad mouthed and rooted against since day 1, he can’t shoot, proved wrong, can’t hit free throws, still a work in progress, was 5-5 recently vs Indiana in his last game. I’m biased, a big UCLA fan, and he and TJ Leaf took a 15-17 team to 31-5 during his only year and Leaf is not in the league, and the only nba player still in the NBA was Sophomore Aaron Holiday! They beat Kentucky in mid season at Rupp Arena. But lonzo had a late hip injury before their March madness loss to Kentucky, and Lonzo was no where near 100%!
Screw lakers tax Trade Dlo and JHS for Lonzo. Trade Wood and first rounders for Kessler, trade Gabe and 2nd rounders for Jonas. Literally that’s the best they can do imo. Lakers has never been a free agency destination. They either drafted they stars or got trades done for help.
Imagine Lonzo, Max, Bron AD, Kessler AR, Dalton, Vando, Rui, Jonas, Lonnie eventually, Quincy and Bronny. Don’t want hayes cause ifykyk but if he hear with those other bigs I’ll take it he provides something.
I don’t think the Bulls will be getting that great of offers for Lonzo. People love him because he’s who he is. But he had half a good year 3 years ago, costs way too much money, isnt young, and now plays Infrequently. That is not very desirable.
Not sure who trades for lonzo. I agree... He is only tradable as an expiring deal. Or maybe if another team had a player on a one year deal / last year of their deal that got hurt but the team is pushing for a playoff run. Sinilar to the golden state deal with schroder. Now .. ill say this. Teams should be doing all the can to get lonzo on the buyout market. (Even though i think he would just go play the rest of the season in Charlotte)
Dlo, Cwood, 1sec for Lonzo JHS, Hayes, 3 sec for Nick Richards Gabe, Lewis, draft capital for Herb or Patrick Willians or DFS. LONZO AR DELON MAX DK BRONNY HERB VANDO CAM BRON RUI - AD NICK REED OLIVARI, GRAHAM, KOLOKO.
Lonzo is definitely not worth sending assets for at this point. He’s great in theory but even more injury prone than Vanderbilt throughout their careers. If he gets bought out then I’m all aboard signing him off waivers but not in a trade
As bad as D-Lo's been, the Lakers need to move on from him as he's just not a good fit next to Reaves. Why not take a chance on swapping Russell for Lonzo. Salaries are close enough to where LA can just include 1 smaller salary like Hayes and free up a roster spot in the process. They need a defensive guard who can also shoot and handle the ball. Lonzo can do all of those things. LA already missed out on Schroder. Only other options left are Lonzo, Bruce Brown and Brogdon.
Lonzo sucks as a shooter so badly that he barely makes over half his free throws, and he's only played more than 55 games in a season once. If a team needs a starting PG, he's not worth getting. Coming off the bench, I mid to low second round pick makes sense, so basically a team that's believing they will at least make it to the playoffs' second round.
Lonzo becoming Livingston would be the best case scenario. Especially Livingston when he joined GSW. But the difference was Livingston was signed for a super cheap deal and contributed at a much higher value to his contract. For lonzo to match 21m/year worth of salary, hes gotta be real productive. Livingston was like 3-4 years for 16m or something lol.
Pelinka please if u have any sense call chicago right now 😂 give up the seconds and you still have pieces plus first round picks to make a next move and if lonzo looks half decent get him on a low contract going forward he is the perfect “role player”if healthy 6’6 good defensive player with vision and that’s at the very least if his shot is falling even better
Literally the only negative about Zo is his injuries. He’d be a perfect fit for any team. He can shoot, play make, and defend.
All my homies hate injuries
I mean that's kinda a pretty huge negative.
Like saying the only thing wrong with that girl is she has no arms or legs. Other than that she's perfect lol
That’s a pretty big negative lol. Hes about as healthy as Zion if not worse
i hope hornets get him would like to see the ball bros together again
Lakers need to move on this ASAP. He defends, shoots, playmakes and doesn’t need the ball in his hands. Get Zo!
The Lakers should trade for Ayo Dosunmu the '6"4 backup point guard/shooting guard. If the Chicago Bulls will trade him. He is only 24 years old.
@@timothygreen5760
Yes! Definitely. Really efficient shooter too.
@@timothygreen5760yeah he is Nice
@@timothygreen5760the bulls anit moving him
At this point, I expect to hear the Bulls are shopping the Jordan statue for a 1st.

Also guessing he resigns for about a midlevel contract.

Warriors need him asap! Exactly who they're missing... he fills the Iggy role perfectly.
Yea warriors need everyone huh
Warriors already traded for Shroeder.

Id try to do this if im LA. Low risk fills a major need.
Screw lakers tax Trade Dlo and JHS for Lonzo. Trade Wood and first rounders for Kessler, trade Gabe and 2nd rounders for Jonas. Literally that’s the best they can do imo. Lakers has never been a free agency destination. They either drafted they stars or got trades done for help.
Imagine
Lonzo, Max, Bron AD, Kessler
AR, Dalton, Vando, Rui, Jonas, Lonnie eventually, Quincy and Bronny. Don’t want hayes cause ifykyk but if he hear with those other bigs I’ll take it he provides something.
The fact the cba kinda demands he gets traded is hilarious most contenders won’t be able to get him if he’s bought out
I would love to see the Nuggets move Saric Nnaji and another for Zo Ball...
I don’t think the Bulls will be getting that great of offers for Lonzo. People love him because he’s who he is. But he had half a good year 3 years ago, costs way too much money, isnt young, and now plays Infrequently. That is not very desirable.
They shouldn't ask for more than a bench player and a 2nd round pick.
Don’t quit your day job, basketball analyst is not in your future!
@@dmitryowens They are requesting a 2nd rounder but that has more to do with his expiring contract
Not sure who trades for lonzo.
I agree... He is only tradable as an expiring deal.
Or maybe if another team had a player on a one year deal / last year of their deal that got hurt but the team is pushing for a playoff run.
Sinilar to the golden state deal with schroder.
Now .. ill say this. Teams should be doing all the can to get lonzo on the buyout market. (Even though i think he would just go play the rest of the season in Charlotte)
Hornets 🙏
I have been saying that Zo should be traded to the Hornets for Martin and Gibson plus a future 2nd rd pick
Its crazy the Lakers are trying to get every player they already had
Lakers should trade for Lonzo, use him to get rid of Gabe Vincent's contract.
Bulls front office bout to be Fired!
The Bulls are only requesting a 2nd round pick for Lonzo which means every team will be going after him including the Celtics.
Trade Gabe Vincent and filler for Zo. Even if Zo doesn't give you anything, neither does Vincent so it doesn't even matter
Facts
Dlo, Cwood, 1sec for Lonzo
JHS, Hayes, 3 sec for Nick Richards
Gabe, Lewis, draft capital for Herb or Patrick Willians or DFS.
LONZO AR DELON
MAX DK BRONNY
HERB VANDO CAM
BRON RUI -
AD NICK REED
OLIVARI, GRAHAM, KOLOKO.
I want him in Minnesota!
Lonzo is definitely not worth sending assets for at this point. He’s great in theory but even more injury prone than Vanderbilt throughout their careers. If he gets bought out then I’m all aboard signing him off waivers but not in a trade
If the Celtics sign him in the offseason I feel like he would bounce back easily
The Lakers should trade to get Lonzo back.. the price Is great for him!
Trevor "Adapt And Overcome" Lane or Trevor "And Off You Go" Lane? Let's take a poll 😎
As bad as D-Lo's been, the Lakers need to move on from him as he's just not a good fit next to Reaves. Why not take a chance on swapping Russell for Lonzo.

LAL would win a Championship with Lonzo somewhere in the near future. 🏆🏀 #Lakers #LonzoBall #NBA #Championship #Basketball
He's going to Charlotte
If the Lakers could trade for him to get rid of Vando contract that would be great. I would gladly take Lonzo to move off Vandy and Gabe.
Keith is OG
I like Lonzo Ball’s contract, expiring plus he can play Defense.
Get the deal done hornets GM
Would be funny if lonzo goes back to the Lakers
Should have better luck trading Lonzo than Zach.
Zion and Lonzo headed to Lakers lol
Malcolm Brogdon is also available and makes about the same, so there's competition
Only if Dalen Terry can get off with him
Lonzo becoming Livingston would be the best case scenario. Especially Livingston when he joined GSW. But the difference was Livingston was signed for a super cheap deal and contributed at a much higher value to his contract. For lonzo to match 21m/year worth of salary, hes gotta be real productive.

Buy him out so Warriors can pick him up on waivers
LAMELO surpassed him

he's done. he'll sit on IR again. bet. he's always been injury prone.
