So all that talk about the lakers not liking lonzo's workout, what that a smoke screen?

No smokescreen, his first workout was apparently terrible because he was sick, the second workout happened at his home -

He's a good prospect and his shot is water, but it's basically everything else that he needs to improve, his shot blocking was horrible for a 7 footer.

Get him in the weight room, and add another 15-20lbs.

His ability off the dribble seems underrated

He doesn't have that much of a handle, it's the threat of his shot that causes people to run out hard on close outs and he just goes by them. I doubt he'll be taking anyone off the dribble from a triple threat position or anything like that.

He's a good prospect though, he's going to need a lot of work to become more than just a shooter though, he is a great shooter and that will keep him on the floor but he needs to focus heavily on other areas to improve.

Well Im excited to see him play in SL & just generally happy we're rebuilding. Hes a crazy gym rat apparently and just turned 20. Lets see if he can add 15 lbs to that frame

Your front office traded Jimmy butler for a poo poo platter and is gonna pay wade 24 million to play for a competitor

Also sold a high 2nd round pick to golden state in a rebuild



You're also gonna cut rondo who was your best player when it mattered most

No one wants to talk to me or you can't face the facts?

In all seriousness, I'm not as down on the trade as much as others. Just thought it was dumb as fukk for Chicago to include 16th pick and sell off another.

The Cameron Payne trade was also awful.

Its still better than thinking we could build around Jimmy before being forced to pay him a supermax. We're gonna suck and hopefully find our franchise players in the next two drafts. Bulls might be (probably likely) the worst team in the league next season. The return was never going to be ideal since the most logical trade partner (you) didn't want to pay a big price. We got 3 young players and can start over with likely top 3 picks for two seasons
