Bledsoe, JJ, Lonzo, 2 firsts for Lowry and Powell.

He has value in the NBA, but not at what he is going to cost. It is time to make him play with the second unit and put a shooter at PG with the starters.

People love to quote him but he’s not very legit in my opinion. Doesn’t get much right. Basically an incarceratedbob type.

But in this case i hope he is right

I will blindly believe it because I want it to be true so bad.

I'm not worried about the player that comes back with Ball too much. I'm not giving up any 1sts with him unless its part of a larger trade to get a true difference maker.

I'm perfectly happy with a swap for just another player that isn't lonzo as long as the contract isn't bad.

Honestly, unless you are talking about someone like Damian Lillard, or in that class of player, I’m not really interested in giving up any firsts for guys over the age of 30 at this point.

Uh, yeah. Right, Lonzo would be on his way to an all star game if the system he was put in didn't restrict his numerous skills and creative genius. His BBIQ is legendary as are his defensive gifts. And he can rap. Please NBA, don't be foolish and overlook this basketball gem!!

We just need to go ahead and only post positive stuff about Lonzo on this board to help increase his value, as I'm sure most NBA execs scour other NBA teams message boards.

"Oh man, halfway down before popping out!"

"Man, that was on target and just a little too hot, he's figuring it out!"

"Did you see that pass hit Zion right in the chest? What other point guards are even capable of a pass like that?"

Zo is about as guaranteed as you can get. Any team would be lucky to have him. I bet they could have him for an expiring and a heavily protected first. WHAT A DEAL!

Launching misguided 3's is his role.

I’ve said it before, the role that makes sense is as a 7th man, 3rd or 4th guard/wing used in the capacity early career Marcus Smart was for Boston, which is as a lower usage than now, defensive utility weapon and secondary facilitator, that’s role on offense is limited and only expanded when he earns it a given night.

But Lonzo is probably going to have to go through a series of humbling experiences to come to grips with his place in this league unless he takes a much more self critical approach to fixing basically every aspect of his game...which isn’t gonna happen in one season or off season
