With the Lakers. Lonzo does need to improve his jump shot.
Especially with James and Lance Stevenson not being great shooters.

Ingram and Kazma are probably getting traded for Kawhi

James to Lakers hopefully means Bedtime for Lonzo - Macgrantt MU - 7/1 19:51:07

I actually don’t like this move by James. - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 08:13:20

This is about more than basketball - jlbomega MU - 7/2 11:54:32

For sure. Same reason old, elite soccer players go to - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 12:59:14

1) With Kawhi, they have a shot immediately. - mizzou john MU

- 7/2 09:06:12

With Kawhi, they may take one game from the Warriors - TheWildcat STL - 7/2 09:18:25

if they get Kawhi without giving up - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 09:22:42

Ingram or Kuzma would need to be included - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/2 11:12:46

I hightly doubt Pop wants Ball in any capacity(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 7/2 11:17:44

Spurs won't take Ball. KL is worth giving up either - scif MU - 7/2 10:58:00

I would try to keep Ingram over Kuzma (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 11:01:24

It'd have to be Ingram and Kuzma and a 1st - MizzouAstro MU

- 7/2 11:00:50

Lakers would be better waiting a year and just signing - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 11:01:50

probably(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

- 7/2 11:09:29

Magic wasn’t involved with the Deng contract - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 08:19:11

Didn’t say he was(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 08:22:50

i really hope the spurs don't do that. they have all the - ajpe53 MU

- 7/2 08:19:57

How do the Spurs have leverage? - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 08:32:28

b/c if the lakers want him this year they need to offer - ajpe53 MU

- 7/2 08:41:59

or keep him this year and try to rebuild the relationship - MizzouAstro MU

- 7/2 09:12:18

He's 33. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 7/2 08:15:10

and he's a biological-genetic freak whose shelf life - Macgrantt MU - 7/2 08:30:14

Lets not get carried away here. He - GA Tiger MU - 7/2 08:49:28

i saw a stat that with the playoffs minutes included - ajpe53 MU

Kobe Bryant hit 34 and he seemed to fall off a cliff - TheWildcat STL - 7/2 09:21:25

Kobe tore his achilles. He played through - scif MU - 7/2 11:03:35

Kareem played for 20 years until he was 41 and played - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 09:16:47

easily top 3 all time if not 1 - Jeff85 MU - 7/2 13:22:46

He should get more love as the possible GOAT.(nm) - scif MU - 7/2 11:04:28

Absolutely (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 11:46:59

Sure. I could be wrong but the wear and tear of - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 08:18:13

He has been a horse to this point and hardly ever injured(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/2 08:27:34

Is that sustainable? He's carried some really bad teams.(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 08:53:05

Nothing is sustainable forever, but he just played arguably - mizzou john MU

- 7/2 09:09:22

I'm not betting on him "sucking" at all. - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 09:24:43

I have heard he is lobbying Silver very hard to get rid of - TheWildcat STL - 7/2 09:55:17

he is going to LA for non-bball reasons as well(nm) - ajpe53 MU

- 7/2 08:14:28

For sure and it’s his prerogative to choose any team. - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 08:15:41

They will win.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 08:18:42

Yea LA’s core is already better than what he had around - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 08:40:02

A big part of the cle problem was lebrons doing. - tigerdb MU - 7/2 09:33:29

Much better(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 09:26:09

if they want leonard they will have to get rid of either - ajpe53 MU

- 7/2 08:44:58

Leonard becomes a free agent after this year and has already - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 09:12:16

Paul George said he wanted to be a Laker. How did that work - scif MU - 7/2 11:10:25

Not a Paul George fan. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 11:44:56

Kuzma and picks would be better for LA - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 11:38:46

Kuzma has struck me as the more physical player. - scif MU - 7/2 13:18:36

Kuzma is the more physical player. - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 13:41:04

Nah, not betting on it. - tjwheeler UI - 7/2 08:22:21

you have it completely wrong as usual - Jeff85 MU - 7/2 02:29:08

I don't agree(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/2 08:28:03

LBJ sure needs a nonshooting guard who needs the ball, sure - Macgrantt MU - 7/2 08:08:26

teams need pass first guys and they're hard to find - Jeff85 MU - 7/2 13:16:35

LeBron won two titles with Mario Chalmers at point. - zodiac6 JC - 7/2 02:23:33

Ball shot 30.5% from 3 and - Macgrantt MU - 7/2 08:11:14

I rounded up the way you're supposed to round. (nm) - zodiac6 JC - 7/2 12:43:43

Lonzo is the type of PG that should be really good next to - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/1 21:20:19

LBJ isn't going to want to listen to old man ball; old man - tigerdb MU - 7/2 05:48:23

Sexton is way more ball dominant than Lonzo - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 08:25:36

Ball averaged over 7apg as a rookie - tigerdb MU - 7/2 09:28:42

Lebron isn't a point guard.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 09:56:49

Correct - and a lot of pgs aren't going to want to play - tigerdb MU - 7/2 10:19:21

Thomas is more of a combo guard. That would never work - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 10:23:49

LeBron holds the ball 75% of the time when he's on the court - tigerdb MU - 7/2 10:44:11

Lonzo didn’t play that much with the ball in his hands - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 10:54:45

Screw his old man (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/2 10:53:01

Kyrie didn’t lose assist stats playing with James - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 09:49:27

^^^^^^this - Macgrantt MU - 7/2 08:12:52

we'll agree to disagree - Macgrantt MU - 7/1 21:34:18

Pope isn’t on a cheap contract or even under contract - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/1 21:47:45

Pope agreed to a contract today(nm) - DevilsAdvocate MU - 7/1 21:51:45

I missed that - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/1 21:53:42

I think they get Leonard - DevilsAdvocate MU - 7/1 22:00:40

that's a good point that isn't discussed - Macgrantt MU - 7/1 22:04:19

He can't just sit out. - zodiac6 JC - 7/2 02:24:57

True, but he can fake injury, malinger, not hustle - Macgrantt MU - 7/2 08:02:19
