He's had a great February and this pretty much nails it.

Yes. And, most importantly, your two franchise players would revolt if we traded him.
Its not identical situations, but we just saw David West say trading Tyson Chandler was the beginning of the end for him and Chris Paul in New Orleans.

Zion was singing his praises after the game. Aside from BI, Zo is probably Zion’s closest teammate. If Zion really wants Zo back long-term, we have to listen right? We don’t have a Tyson Chandler/CP3 situation again.

Trade deadline is March 25. Asked Lonzo Ball about continuing to play with BI and Zion if he gets the chance:
"I love playing with those guys. I’m really cool with them off the court as well. We’re all young. I think we can do some big things.”

F it, resign him

Agree. Good defender as well. If Kira develops into the PG we think he can be, he and Zo, who excels in transition, could be a dangerous 1 and 2.

Yeah. That's a good thing.
He is thought highly of around the league, where u can always trade him once he signs the new deal
They need to trade eric bledsoe asap.

Bledsoe has had a couple nice offensive games lately so this would be the logical best time to trade him to get max value. Something tells me we don’t get more than a 2nd round pick if the other team takes his contract off our hands. If they are bringing another player in return that matches salaries then you might get a 3 and D wing or something but he won’t bring a lot back. I think Griff wants as many draft picks as he can stockpile to use as trade bait. I’m sure Griff would be over the moon to get a couple late first round picks for JJ and Bledsoe.

I hope so. I like Zo a lot and I really want it to work out for him here with Z and BI.

His bumpy bubble and start to the season had many of us questioning him....
Great to see him knuckle down and turn the corner and show what he can produce.
Hopefully it’s not a spike in performance and is there for the long term.

Lonzo is playing like a definite starter in the past few weeks. I agree that both Zion and Ingram appreciate his recent play and want the trio to stay together.

76ers are supposedly real interested in Kyle Lowry, however salary matching would be an issue for them (it would pretty much require them sending out Harris).
I think we COULD maybe interest them in Bledsoe for a Danny Green and a 1st swap. Before the deal would be finalized, I would shop Green to someone (Atlanta and NYK comes to mind) for a player we could actually use, like Bogdonovic.

I'd love to add a knock down shooter similar to Bogdonavich/prime Danny Green, a tough as shite defender like Beverly/Smart. Then look for a stretch big. Space the floor when the defense starts the Zion pack it in zone, and cover the 3 ball on D

Has Lonzo played himself out of trade talks?
We're at a point now where if we don't trade him, but then some team comes in with a crazy offer and we don't match, the idea of losing a player of his value would be some serious malfeasance by the organization.
It's pretty crazy how far the narrative has turned in just 1 month on Lonzo.

Are teams that were thinking they could steal him away with $20 willing to go to $25+ now? How much leverage does Rich Paul have on the Bulls/Knicks?

It only takes 1 team that really wants him, and now Lonzo has a $25mil offer that we can either match and overpay or let him go for nothing when we probably could get quite the haul right now for him.

This, and a young 6'7"-6'9" 3&D guy is what we need to add to this team, on top of a veteran PG, who's actually a PG, not Bledsoe, who's not really a PG.

We're a below avg 3pt shooting team this season. With the way Zion is creating looks, that makes it a bit worse as well IMO.
