My guess is the Clippers are the team most interested in Lonzo, but I have no idea what they could offer in return.

At this point getting him off the team to get NAW/Kira more minutes is the return IMO.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if we got anything back that was worth a darn.

Currently, I believe we could get NYK to take him into cap space and maybe get back the Dallas 1st

As for most likely destinations I would go:
1) NYK
2) Charlotte
3) Chicago
4) Clips

Yea I agree with you 100% Lonzo is holding back the development for the future so much.

I imagine the Knicks would be interested because of his marketability, but doubt we have much leverage to get a first.

He has a large following for some reason. Maybe the Facebook show

He also plays defense so if they go to Thibs and said we could get Lonzo, he'd probably be ok with it.

The leverage the Pels have is that he's an RFA so whoever you trade him to is likely to keep him. Google Lonzo Ball Knicks and you'll see a ton of Knicks bloggers that seem very interested in the idea. There's just been a lot of smoke about Lonzo to the Knicks since the AD trade, so I think the interest is there. If you could convince the Knicks they'd be losing Lonzo to another team and wouldn't have a shot at him in FA, I think you could get one of their extra 1sts.

The Knicks would be dumb to give up a first for him. They can sign him in the off-season. Why give up a first?

I hope they do though. We might have to give them one of our good 2nds or two, which I would be fine with.

Because if they actually want him and he is about to be traded to another team that wants him, they won’t have a shot at him. It’s all tied up in the Knicks wanting him, but there has been a lot of smoke to suggest that they do.

I got nothing against the guy and was pulling for him, but I need more Kira. I would trade him for a ham sandwich at this point.

apparently the Wolves broadcast was told by our FO that NAW and Kira are the future of our backcourt. If that’s true, they better trade Zo and Bledsoe by February

We should have traded his arse to the Knicks before the draft.

Lots of teams are going to blame SVG, our offensive system, and the rest of our roster.

"Lonzo needs other guys to set up for shots, but the Pelicans don't have any shooters. How many assists would Lonzo have if Redick, Melli, or Hart could actually make a 3?"

"Lonzo got a lot better last year. It's not normal for a 23-year-old to regress, so it's likely not his fault."

"Lonzo's value is in transition and the Pels are playing at one of the slowest paces in the league -- of course he's not going to look as effective."

Seriously, look at the 538 RAPTOR projection from before the season started -- "FUTURE ALL-STAR." Seriously, they had him projected as being better than Ingram this year.

Lots of teams are going to think that they can fix Lonzo. Who knows? Maybe they can.

Man if we can somehow get that Dallas 1st from the Knicks for Zo, that’s a home run

Get the frick outta here with that click bait bull shite. No one that knows anything about basketball thought he could be a future all star.
He literally cannot play in a half court offense.

I don't feel like hunting for all the people who talk on TV for a living nodding their heads when Lonzo talked about how BI was most improved last year and he was going to be MIP this year.

Heck, I think that Pelicans PR bought into that idea, because all our early team promos this year were Zion, BI, and Lonzo, like Zo was going to be our third star.
