I watched the first half of the game. Lonzo hit a few 3s, and the announcers started slobbering all over how much he's improved ... and then he finished the half with 5 turnovers and only 2 assists, to go with 3 personal fouls.

He's still afraid to drive the ball to the rim.

Lonzo’s also better than every guard on this team, we can cherry pick any player and focus on only negatives for one game, but you all keep telling yourselves how terrible he is while simultaneously talking yourselves into paying to get guys like Buddy Hield, Cam Reddish before the trade that would require a significant raise to keep, Evan Fournier etc.

Probably would have all declared Griff a god in the off-season had he signed Hardaway to 22 million a year lol.

Fact is all Griff had to do as GM to succeed is literally nothing and this team would be in a significantly different place right now. Just resign the guys you were forced to take by being locked into the Lakers trade because Klutch/AD, take BPA in Garland/Hunter at 4 instead of moving back, and then pay those guys when their contracts come up. Move them if upgrades present themselves.

But instead three years in we still have people defending Griffs poor judgement. Lonzo being the latest. Who we are now once again talking about relinquishing assets to find a guy that can replace what he already brought(while trying to justify Griff’s getting us to that point by losing said player for basically nothing). I said it during his hiring, Griff is the ultimate Rube Goldberg GM. He’ll burn through your assets and wow you with the machinery, but when the dust settles and you look at the end result, he hasn’t really gotten you much further with his wheeling and dealing.

I would take Lonzo over anything that we got this offseason in free agency/trades (Graham, Sato, Temple). We certainly did not improve on Ball.
