Right.
The issue isn't whether or not Lonzo is good. He's always been pretty good at what he does- it's just not what the hype coming into the league suggested it would be.
And it's not if the Pels handled his trade well. They didn't.
But if we're talking team building, I don't know how Lonzo at $20m fills holes the Pels have. Happy Lonzo is having success in Chicago

We need a wing defender that can stroke threes at high volume and plays well in transition and as a secondary creator.
We need a lead guard, but we also need exactly what Lonzo brought.
And even Griff knew it but he thought NAW could be it and he could also bring in a downgrade like Hardaway as a bridge. When that didn’t work settled for Graham, which the argument at the time was: we got Lonzo for 8 million less. And no, no we didn’t. We got a good catch and shoot combo guard with similarly limited half court creation skills and none of the defensive ceiling.
Like I said, what everyone is talking about this team needing is literally what Griff had in his pocket: Garland and Lonzo.

quote:Yet, if his name were say "Joe Smith" many would be hoping the Pels would trade for him. It has always been a bias against who he (and his dad) is.
