I am saying Brogdon is what he is.

Lonzo is still getting better. And in most areas is already just as good as Brogdon


So you either get the 29 year old going into the twilight of his career or the ascending 23 year old who hasn’t peaked yet


Same thing with Duncan Robinson. I’m not paying a guy that much money to just be a 1 dimensional player.

I'm mostly afraid that Lonzo has still shown no desire/ability to get to and finish at the rim on any sort of consistent basis. Until then, he's a 3 & D player whose defense is overrated and his 3 point shot is streaky.

I don't see how Lonzo gets significantly better without becoming more physical and aggressive, both defensively and in attacking the basket. That's not a switch that's easy to flip. To me that's what it comes down to. If the team believes he is likely to change his mentality, keep him. And maybe they feel he took steps to doing that this season. But if they don't you have to let him go because he's not going to be just another 3 & D wing, which is nice but not unique enough to be worth $20 million.

Cool. He won't be as good as Brogdon is, and he isn't as good as Brogdon is at anything right now. Lonzo will never be an elite defender like Brogdon, and he'll never be even average as a guy that drives to the goal, and he'll never be able to create his own shot. Lonzo has no dog in him, and never will.
Lonzo is still a good player that can get better.

I'll take the guy that i know is better right now and for the next 4 years over the guy that will never be able to do the things we need him to do to compliment our superstars.

What is Lonzo's multi dimensions as a player?
What does Lonzo do that is elite like Duncan does? Duncan is an elite shooter that has gravity on offense off the ball. I'll wait for you to tell me Lonzo's 3P% to say he's as good a shooter as Duncan and Brogdon.
