Should Pels think about aquiring lonzo ball?

Last year at this time, I wanted the Pels to make a priority in acquiring a pass first point guard. Rubio was a name I had in mind but Rondo fit the mold as well.
I have always felt a pass first point guard maximizes the talents of AD and Jrue.
Lonzo seems like a great fit in a gentry fast paced offense that allows Jrue to play off the ball more and be in attack mode. Lonzo also was a pretty good defender last year and has size and length for a point guard.
I know he has the dad and can't shoot but I feel he is a good fit for the Pels and the Pels need to take another gamble with the AD timeline essentially being one year until Pels can offer the supermax.
Acquiring him at a rookie salary would possibly allow Pels to have cap space to upgrade the wing next offseason.
How do Pels acquire him? There were reports that the Spurs did not really want him as part of a kawhi package. Maybe pels can be part of a three team trade and five the spurs assets that they would want instead. What would it take? Ajinca (to match salaries) and a first rd protected top 3 pick and either another first rd pick or diallo? Remember ball is on a rookie salary that the pels can control for awhile.
Lakers acquire kawhi
Pels acquire lonzo
Spurs acquire ingram, diallo, ajinca and a pels first rd pick and lakers first rd pick
Thoughts?

Only if his father was banned from the state of Louisiana and from away games

So Lonzo for Anjinca, Diallo and a 1st?
Where do I sign?
No way the Spurs agree to giving up KL for Ingram and 2 late firsts though.

WHat if Pels need to trade two first rd picks? Where one can potentially be post AD

If getting ball is a possibility, pels should do everything they can do get him.

Did you people watch Lonzo play at all this year? He wasn't even the best rookie on his own team! Kuzma is legit, Lonzo is possibly the most over-hyped player I have ever seen.
And the Pels will NEVER compete for a title if they keep giving up their first round picks in trades. The Warriors are where they are because they were smart with their picks and created a window where they had very good players on rookie deals that freed up money to sign players like KD. Boston and Philly are doing the same now.

I’m a ball family hater myself but outside of scoring and shooting, London was pretty dang good every where else. Ball handling needs work tho

Post less.
I don’t want Lonzo. They He has problems with his shot and his family is a major distraction. And you know they will lose their shite over him being exiled from Los Angeles to Louisiana.

Maybe Isiah Thomas. He can at least score when he gets to the basket

But he's the worst defensive player in the league

IT would probably be on a minimum “prove it” deal.
Lonzo? #2 overall contract money. Lot of dough to eat if he doesn’t develop or stays a PR headache.
