It’s total bullshite. He improved his 3 point and FT shooting. That’s it.

He got worse at literally every other thing.

Assists, rebounds, defense.

He’s not a PG. He’s repped by a tshirt seller and his dad is a complete a-hole.

And even when he improved his FT shooting. He’s averaging 1 attempt a game.

People seem to want to forget that he spent all but about 10-12 weeks over the past two years playing like a guy who should be a bench player in Uzbekistan. Good frickin riddance.

Injury-riddled, emotionless baby deer.

I wanted it to work bc it would have been a cool story, but it just was never in the cards. We need a true PG.

This. I remember at some point last season there was a 10 game stretch where I believe he shot 1 total free throw. Not 1 per game, he shot 1 lol. Probably multiple 10 game stretches. Chicago just paid 20 a season for a guy who only shoots 3’s and doesn’t do it particularly great. But I did think we would of gotten more. He was one of the hottest names mentioned all off season

People who say Lonzo improved didn't watch the games. He was a clear liability in crunch time 95% of the time. He never made shots in the last 4 minutes of the game when the going gets tough. Regardless of money, this team wasn't going to take the next step with Lonzo as a top 3 player. Griffin did the right thing.

Dude left Reggie bullock (one of the best spot up 3pt shooters in the league) to help on a Derrick rose drive when we were up by 3 with like 5 seconds left. He doesn’t understand basketball. He’s a clown.

I'm not mad alonzo is gone, I'm just mad they didn't get something better for him.

Coby white?

Devonte graham?

If he would've gotten coby white and satoronsky, great.

Threads like this are as cringeworthy as the ones with people freaking out before we’ve seen all the moves.

Ball was clearly not a bad asset. And good teams seem to see things in him. He had up to a half dozen playoff teams interested in him at one point or another. At a minimum he would be a valuable trade asset.

Now maybe it was a necessary evil because we have another set of FA moves or trades lined up, but if not, no amount of trashing Lonzo is going to make this a good offseason.

I watched 90 percent of Pels games last year.

Lonzo is a spot up 3 point shooter who can throw a nice half court lob.

He’s really not good at anything else.

Ok, so he was neutral at best? Or are injury prone head case guards a positive asset now?

Wait the Bulls are good now?

Conjectured statement. We have no idea what was offered for him.

Lol no the frick he wouldn't. He'd have to be healthy and eliminate his mental shortcomings. I doubt he can do either.

This is called the denial/bargaining stage.

Work yourself through it more privately, it's embarrassing
