Luka is shooting %.326 from 3 this year.



Luka in all 4 seasons has shot below league average, why not just compare Lonzo to Temple for the sake of that argument.

29 games:
>40%: 16 games
30-39%: 5 games (4 games at 33.3%, 1 game at 37.5%)
20-29%: 3 games
10-19%: 4 games
0-9%: 1 game

So in >50% of his games he's shot above league average (for someone who "shoots 42%" from 3).

Would some of those games have helped?

Point still stands, unless you're telling me Temple is worth a lotto protected 1st, we lost him for next to nothing.

Yea you're right, that's a better comparison.

Lonzo is a good 3pt shooter, and he has been consistent this year. But you're You're counting a large % of Temples games as a negative when there's no reason at all they should be considered having a big impact on the game, much less costing us games. Shooting %0 in five games when you only take one 3 pointer is a crap argument. How many %0 games do you think Lonzo would have if there were nights where he only took 1?

Thats not my argument. It wasnt a good trade and I used to say we should have resigned him because he would still have trade value at this coming up free agency because it wasnt a bad contract. My argument is that Temple is not nearly as bad as you're trying to make it seem.

Over the past 11 seasons he's averaged 26 mpg. Everywhere he's been since then, outside of one year with the Clippers, and with us, he's averaged over 25 mpg. And he's been healthy. There were guys a few weeks ago on here saying that if he were on any other team in the NBA, he wouldn't get a single minute. Thats just not even remotely true. Literally every team in the league would take him and he would get minutes. He's a quality vet.

Satoransky is the guy you should be dogging. He's useless.
