What was stopping Lauri Markkanen from being the #1 pick?

[David_TheMan]

I know that, tell Bron that..lol

He wants the ball in his hands to run offense and until a coach (Ham) changes that, then whats the point of bringing in a PG? Beverly looks just how Westbrook and Ball was looking. Just standing to the side. Its stupid

The lakers don't have anyone to do that right now, hence why pepole are saying they should bring in a PG. so I don't understand your point

When lonzo played the bulls were good they fell apart(defensively,forced to’s,transition)without him.he also the bulls best 3 point shooter 42% on 7 attempts why would they trade him just cuz he’s injured?

That was on the bulls fo they chose p will & acquiring vooch. Lauri was in a terrible system with an awful coach who had him standing at the 3 point line shooting 3’s instead of utilizing his skill set.

lol, so basically you don't actually have a logical reason to be against the trade other than feelings, since the trade if done when I suggested would have got you AD for peices you don't have now right?

Crazy to see him finally dominate the league. Shows any player can emerge at any time

Nobody wants a flabby injury prone version of Anthony davis. Which is what I said initially

You’re talking about nothin

Chicago would love to have him, I'm sure of it.
A superstar to pair with Lavine and a native son.

The only way you can argue against it , is if you think his being there is a negative, because you would literally have lost nothing to get him.

If he's gonna pop, this would be the year to do so, he's in Year 6. Guys aren't turning into stars much later than this in their careers...

And if this leap is real, which I think it is, the NBA has stumbled upon another gold mine from a marketing standpoint, to push forward The New Era from the Bron, Steph, Durant etc generation...

We'll see how long he can keep this going, it seems like the league is starting to move on a bit from Bron & Steph. They now focus on guys like Ja & Luka way more.

You’re giving too much weight to Chicago’s love for AD.
