I don't agree. I think that Griffin and Rich Paul have already had a frank conversation. I think that Lonzo doesn't especially want to be back on this team next year. I think that Griffin doesn't think that Lonzo is a very good fit with Zion and BI.

How did you jump to that conclusion? I think they do think Zo is a good fit. I think the issue more likely around the contract that Zo is looking for. I would bet they are significantly apart in what the Pels perceive his value to be and what Paul/Zo perceive his value to be.

Doesn't answer the question I asked. I read that. Who knows how accurate that is? Not like Matt Moore is Woj or Shams. The fact that he adds "currently" and "multiple factors" makes it sound like an estimate by the writer.

I doubt anyone trades for him without knowing what he's looking for on the open market in the offseason. Or, I should say, no one is going to give anything up of note without that info.

Why does Chicago want Ball? They already have a great backcourt pair in White (15/5/5) and Lavine (27/5/5). I don't get why they would give up on one of those and replace with Ball, especially with him being an upcoming FA..
