Damn Griff. You definitely put yourself in a tight spot. You better make a big splash

Hell yes good back up PG and a defensive player who’ll be a quality mentor. Plus we don’t overpay Zo and can make another big move.

I will go the opposite direction. We aren’t in a position as a franchise to tie up that much cap in a severely flawed player. It would have doomed us for years. It was the right move.

To be fair people are getting tired of waiting to see what happens with this Front Office


I think people were ok with waiting and being patient but after last year’s fiasco and the promise that dumping Bledsoe and Adams provided…fans just want something to hang their hat on


And it sure as shite isn’t a 2nd round pick and two bench guys

I’d rather Garrett temple playing defense and shooting wide open catch and shoot 3’’s than Lonzo.


Lonzo has been a much better three-point shooter than Garrett Temple.

We are also not in the position to pay guys like Lonzo 21mil a year when he doesn't move the needle at all especially when the team isn't good enough to have the luxury to do that. He had 2 years to prove that he's the lead guard but couldn't do it here. It's time to allow NAW to prove his worth and shut up all the Lonzo stans.

Because the only teams with interest thought they’d have the cap space to sign him so didn’t offer much. Markenann and 2nd(s) was the reported deadline offer. I think Markennan is too one dimensional to be very valuable so I see this as a comparable deal as what was available at the deadline.

I'm confident we could have done better than a backup PG and a 2nd before the deadline.

Seems we never had real interest to move him then, just cursory discussions.

This board is full of people who are completely clueless about how sign-and-trade deals work and the leverage involved.

It’s like people on this board don’t understand how trades work

Lonzo wasn’t good. We weren’t getting an all star for him. 2 good role players is about the best you’re gonna do

We were hoping for a playoff push. They weren’t going to take a step back and end that push. We see how that turned out, and we shite the bed.

That was the reasoning.

Guess the Lakers forced him on us in the AD trade. Another trade with resources that barely paid any dividends beyond a couple of years

Wait, when do we get the names of the two good role players? I thought they got Satoransky and ancient Garrett Temple?
