The Official Lonzo To The Lakers Thread

[Tunez]

At least his form wasn't busted. Call me crazy, but I damn sure don't see this guy being a Jason Kidd type.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Don't want him on the Lakers, if he is really slow as ppl are saying..we are going to have two guards who are slow. I want Fultz, Adam needs to rig this and give us the top pick

going for the hype*

A worse version of d Russ?
No thanks

Worse...

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Do it Mit..... Magic

Take him, Markelle comin to Philly if you even get your pick that is. Hell, if we don't get it from you this year it'll be a top 5 pick next year anyway with a shot at #1

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Lakers really can't afford to miss on another lottery pick. Ball has way too high of bust potential.

Best thing for the Lakers might be to get the 3rd pick if they can't get #1... let someone else take Ball and decide between Jackson/Tatum/Smith

Next year draft weaker and by then we tryin to win with this last piece. You can have it breh.

Ingram was hittin way more moves than this nikka. Ingram's only problem is that he be playing like a sleepy Mexican sometimes. He don't got that fiery type play unless he's challenged. Lonzo is like a much worse D'Angelo Russell to me with more natural PG skills, I just don't see the appeal. He's a shooter but his form is fukkin gross, he's Kevin Martin with better passing ability. Not worthy of a top pick and not the guy GOAT franchise needs. I'd rather we trade down and get a legit PG plus an extra pick for next year.

who do you think we should draft breh?

It's only weaker in depth of stars, but one could argue that in terms of superstar prospects it's stronger. Porter, Ayton, Doncic, Bamba, etc. are all superstar prospects.

You guys really think you'll be competitive next season?

Since your little hot start of 10-10, you've played at the pace of a 16 win team. I think even the Nets are going to win more than 16. Even counting the hot start, the Lakers' point differential is almost as bad as the Nets.

The little success you guys have had is thanks to career seasons from Nick Young and Lou Williams. Lou is already gone, and Nick will be gone next year. Even if the rest of your young core improves, at best they'll only make up for those two key losses.

It's not like you can make many FA moves either, you guys only have ~20mil in cap space this summer which isn't much at all in the current market. The best that'll happen is you sign two decent bench players, Magic isn't investing in starters over the youngins.

You'll be a bottom 5 team next year. I'll gladly take that pick

Not sure yet, but I just don't like Ball. I definitely think we need a true PG and move Russ to the 2. Ball just looks like a bust to me. I think this is a great opportunity to finesse the Knicks or something, trade down and get a 1st for 2018 and let them have Ball while we get a more surefire prospect at PG.

 

[LezJepzin]

It's obvious. The only teams that need him as much as LA in the top lottery is Sacramento and New York. Even then, Fox and Smith is a better fit for the Knicks and Sacramento don't even control their own pick.

I expect the Kings to pick the PG from NC State but I can always dream He would be perfect for the core we got right now :

Ball
Hield
Richardson
Skal
Cauley-Stein


Hopefully Vivek doesn't see another YouTube video of someone else

 

[Trojan 24]

With Dough Boy and Smokey we need somebody athletic who plays with high energy
