He is playing really really well right now. Like, pay him his money well.
But that is the issue with Lonzo, he is streaky.
If he keeps it up, then I guess we need to try to keep him.

If he keeps up, 20mil per year isn't unreasonable now. You can build with that with how point zion has turned things around.
The Bledsoe and jj money needs to either grab another 3pt shooter or a ball handler who can knock down a 3

Even playing the way he is right now, I would only be confident in a big-ish contract for him if Griffin fixes the roster with him. I think we need a legit 2 who can create very well and/or shoot very well in the halfcourt. I know we all hope for point Zion to get the assist numbers up and for BI to be a creator, but I think teams need a smaller, quicker outside presence to help run an offense.
Maybe this option could be on the team, like Kira playing PG and Lonzo being a legit 3&D and off the ball on offense, or maybe even NAW if he got like, light-years better. This option could also be via trade or free agency, but if Lonzo is a long term piece, I think we need an offensive presence at either the PG or SG position, whichever Lonzo doesn't play

One thing we discuss a lot around here is how being a small market team, we need to take risks, it's our only real shot to become a contender. With that being said, if the right trade package doesn't come across, I do think we need to just about everything in our power to not lose Lonzo for nothing. Meaning, we probably should overpay if necessary. But again, all within reason, we shouldn't just give him a max, but we should likely give him more than maybe he "deserves" IMO.
One thing a lot of us need to take the L on(myself included) is earlier in the season, most of us wanted Griff to trade Lonzo for basically nothing, the value was getting our young guys minutes. But Griff was right to be patient, and now Zo has wayyyyyyy more value than he did just 6 weeks ago.
