I see this dude is followed by some nba writers. Who is he?
Player trainer I think, a lot of players know him. He also broke the Butler practice story..dude is saying Lonzo to Bulls, hopefully he is wrong :francis:

Don't tell Lakers fans that. :mjlol:
I don't understand this hype from Lakers fan. It's like their trade is any good. If they were actually good.

Ehhh... Lakers asset is a solid collection of 6th man. I see pairing Zion with Robinson just an all around better plan than Ingram, Zo, and Kuzma.

The big question with Lakers assets ... Is how do they fit. If I can be honest... They don't. With Zion... We are gonna need a legit rim protecting 5 to keep Zion clean, complementary defender, and shooters to keep spacing. Lakers assets don't solve any of those problems.

Zion biggest need coming into the NBA is having a complementary big. Zion doesn't have the measurable like AD to physically outmatch 4s and 5s. Hell, he can't physically outmatch most 4s in height or reach.

I will argue no matter what trade... A pass first PG is a bad idea. I hate trying to blanetly copy GSW... But we definitely need a PG with above average shooting ability. Lonzo ain't that person. He can grow into a gifted scorer, but not a shooter.

So, I just feel...

Robinson
Zion
RJ
Jrue
Target a 2020 PG in draft

Would be a great defensive juggernaut, but they have to improve shooting. They'll have plenty of picks and assets to round out a fantastic bench squad with so much healthy cap space if one or two players do not work out.

We have insurance with Zion or RJ if one of them don't work out. I just don't see how anyone can feel Laker is the best deal by a mile. It doesn't move the needle to me.

Assuming Pels are keeping Jrue they need a pass first guard. Zo is that and he's better than anyone available for trade or draft.
The Los Angeles Lakers are not getting Anthony Davis this summer.

Lonzo people will kick up dust if he's traded anywhere.

We not doing the Lamar Odom thing, again.

How is that fair? One guy has that bosh disease and the other guy won’t go there?

Ingram’s clots aren’t as bad as Bosh’s. He won’t need to be on blood thinners. And BI averaged 28 pts on 57/52/75 shooting post All star break.

Lonzo never said he didn’t want to go to NO. Lavar said that, before Lonzo said he’s his own man. And Lonzo is allegedly worth a lottery pick right now so could be flipped. He’d also thrive in Alvin Gentry’s fast-paced system.

He got shut down for the season first week of March bruh; y'all acting like this kid made a Siakam-level leap over an 80+ game span than ran deep into the playoffs when in reality all he did was put up numbers in losses with a high usage rate for a couple weeks in February. Them stats conveniently don't say anything about his trash ass defense neither, same story as Kuzma and the people trying to argue him as some sort of centerpiece in these hypothetical deals.

MCW had a bunch of great 1-3 week stretches his rookie year too you know, how his stats look for his career as a whole? :pachaha:
