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.
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

Has there ever been any indication that lonzo specifically desires a big market?

I think part of it is going to be the nature of
1. Location
2. Who you're dealing with (Klutch)
3. Demand/need for 3&D (who can also ball handle in spurts)
4. Youth
Fred VanVleet set that market for us honestly.

Are they not more limited offensively than Ball? Both got $18 million or more for doing one thing well. Sadly, the market will say he is worth that or more.

This is my biggest issue with him currently.
People will see that he had 17 points and was 4/5 from deep and say "wow" he was great.
The Problem will often be he was 4/4 in the 1st quarter and then didn't make another the rest of the game. At least that's what it feels like.
He is still young and it does feel like he improves yearly.
