So you expect 4 FTs a game from him before you would be happy? BI and Zion are the only ones on the team above 2.3 per game and the Pels are #4 in the NBA in FTA per game. So, would you prefer he take drives away from Zion and BI in order to do that?
It’s not some hard and fast number, I think if you are not attempting to read my posts in this thread disingenuously, it is clear what I want to see out of Lonzo, which is him to turn into, at a minimum, an average offensive generator given the touches he commands and the role we would be paying him to fill. Otherwise, if he is basically just going to be a touch heavy spot up shooter in the half court with above average defense, I don’t see him as a 20 million plus player for this team, and I actually worry about him holding back our long term potential based on his style of play.
Basically, show me at least some meaningful growth toward being an offensive generator for himself and others in a half court setting and I’ll feel a lot more confident trusting some of you guys wanting to throw him 20 million plus based on the potential of him becoming these things

I’d still try and use Lonzo in a big fish trade if possible. Trading him for crappy assets tho is dumb
