My issue with Lonzo is still the same, while I think he's playing well right now, how do you pay him what he's going to ask? I just don't see how you can do that and feel good about it.
Now if they come at you with a realistic number, excellent, but otherwise...

We've just got to hope that griffin can sell him on being the 3rd guy on a championship caliber roster and that 4/80 will allow us to add the proper pieces to contend.

I think you try like hell between now and the moratorium to find an alternate solution. But the fact is this team probably needs one more 3&D wing in addition to Lonzo and Hart, so going down to just Hart would be bad for winning.
If I had to talk myself into signing Lonzo I'd say
- He has a reputation as a hard worker and has shown good improvement as a Pel
- He seems to be embracing his role as a 3&D Wing and that will be a key to optimizing his talent
- His biggest road block looks to be confidence/decisiveness when shooting inside, that can be fixed.
If you can't find a good deal or a good alternative in FA, I think you have to resign him and hope for the best.

Same.
I just don’t see how you can pay a guy 20-25 million who is still so limited offensively.
I still want to see some more consistency in his shot(he’ll be hot one quarter then disappear for the rest of the game at times) and he still has a ways to go in terms of attacking..but I do like the steady progress he is showing. And his defense is quickly approaching elite levels.
If he were to command something closer to Marcus Smart I’d be all for it, but I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to be a Eric Gordon type situation and someone like Chicago is going to throw 2nd option type money at him and he’ll signal heavily that he wants to be let go so he can get to his all important glamor market
