Chicago Bulls Trade Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Thread starter Raquinotj
- Start date
A lot of Lonzo's shooting percentages are ugly because in general, he doesn't shoot much. Therefore, he has to make that shyt count more than the next man.
All that said, I think it's a decent get for Cleveland. Worst-case scenario, he's Okoro but with a better grasp on directing an offense if it came to it. I wouldn't call him a starter -- he's been injured too much to assume that -- but he could be a nice rotational piece with plus defense and distribution on his side.

Why would they attach picks to get a guy who can barely walk?
That's because he's ass at doing so. If his 3pt shot isn't falling, then he can't generate offense for himself and he's never been the type to generate contact to get to the line. That's still the case years into the league.
I rock with Lonzo and the Ball family, but I think he tends to get overrated around here.
If he still can't shoot, then it's the Okoro problem all over again and him being to direct an offense doesn't change that especially with losing Jerome and his offense.
The bolded is factual. I guess I don't care as much because his style of play isn't one where he looks for offense for himself. I'd feel differently about it if I were going to rely on him to do anything beyond knock down a couple of open threes, play defense and get other people going.

he dont even have to return to form. okoro is bunsThis is a robbery by Cleveland if Zo returns to form. I don't think people understand healthy Zo is like Alex Caruso^2. Healthy Zo > DG on this team

Good trade on paper for the Cavs but who knows if Lonzo will break down again soon.

It's nasty, but really Caruso the only one that had real value relative to his contract. They just fukked up not getting more picks
False.
The reason all of their value diminished is because Chicago waited too long to trade them. That's why they're ass
Not in the case of Lavine as they were always going to be hard pressed in getting a meaningful return for him. Teams just didn’t rock with him like that with his injuries and contract.
We were reportedly close to trading him for Ivey and a pick before Klutch decided to have him get surgery and miss the rest of the year.
We could’ve gotten at least one pick for Demar
It’s a bad franchise that got lucky drafting Jordan 40 years ago
