Sorry bruh you're the idiot if you didn't think they wanted to pair Zo with BI and Zion. Just stop it
What you "want" to do and what you "get" to do are two different things. Saying, "They wanted Zo" does not mean "They would give up on the whole fukking trade if they didn't get Zo." None of their other offers was going to be as good as BI, the #4 pick, two more 1st-round picks, and multiple other rotation players.
And the other dumb part is you talking like I was saying not to put Zo in the AD trade. I was the one saying DANGLE ZO IN TRADE TALKS. You were the one saying KEEP ZO. Somehow putting Zo into a big trade is an L for me when it is EXACTLY what I said they should be doing and exactly what you said they shouldn't do?
And suggesting Pat Bev as an option? Pay Pat 10 Million bruhs
I just threw that out one day as one trade that would make the Lakers better. Pat Bev was only getting 5 million when I suggested trading Lonzo for Bev and a 1st-round pick. He was making half of Lonzo's salary while being more reliable from every spot on the floor AND having playoff experience and proving he could hit big shots when it mattered. So you'd have a more experienced player, who was a better shooter, who fit with LeBron better, who you could trust in the playoffs more, AND you'd have a middle-1st round draft pick as trade bait AND you'd have opened up several million extra in cap space.
And something you forget is that I suggested this early LAST year, when the Lakers were still hoping to do something in the 2019 playoffs. Lonzo in the 2019 playoffs would have been a disaster, he wouldn't have hit shyt. Bev was already ready. Y'all were talking about permanently keeping a guy who wouldn't be ready to start for a title team until 2021-2022 at the earliest, if ever.
