not trying to be rude at all....but at this point, I do not think it matters what he did at UCLA....what Ingram did at Duke or what Kobe did at Lower Merion....the only information I think is relevant is what is done under the bright lights of the NBA. I am not even suggesting that he will not be able to shoot...but sometimes the college shooting translates well and other times it does not.


I just get tired of the Lonzo cant shoot narrative. Other then the two 10-12 game stretches, Lonzo has shot the ball well from 3. I only had stats for the past two years, but he was a good shooter in high school as well.

like I said earlier...I think everyone that paid attention expects material improvement in the % this year....but is that 34%? 37%? 40%? I would not even be comfortable guessing because he kind of did a Jekyll-Hyde-Jekyll last season.

emplay mentioned KCP on his recent pod....kind of just off the cuff comment, but it made me think for a second.....is there any chance that the Lakers would try to clear the space and allow Randle to walk to bring back KCP with Lebron and PG to pacify Rich Paul?

Obviously this would not be my #1 preference, but if they use Ingram to move Deng, would have the cap to bring back KCP and maybe even bring in another Rich Paul client like Noel on a cheap deal. I guess I am just not convinced that this FO is as interested in the Randle experience as most fans including me became last season.

Cyberx supposed insider for Rockets if you believe him said Lakers are offering Lonzo for Damian Lillard.

Quote:
I heard today the Lakers will even throw Lonzo and other pieces to try to get Lillard. They are star hunting.

Lakers, if they keep Zo will try for Tony Parker as a backup/mentor role.

does not really make sense to me for Portland to do that even if they considered Ball as valuable as Lillard...unless they are only trying to dump salary. They would still be left with the problem of having a talented back court and lacking everywhere else.

I know we're not really in a position to be picky, but I don't want Lillard if we get Lebron and PG13. He would get abused defensively. We have to get guys who can defend and switch.

Who knows... but if PG and LBJ come it's old news that the Lakers would have arranged months ago.

If it's new news it might be Kawhi or someone else.

Lillard is only 27 and just named all NBA 1st team. Even if they are blowing it up, it will be rebuilding around Lillard. Mccullum is a more realistic target than Lillard.

Ok let's guess what Jeanie's cryptic tweet means.

Well, Dennis Rodman did thank her by name on national television from the big summit in Singapore the other day, and he also thanked Phil ... so you can probably imagine where I'm headed with this ...

Seriously, I hope you know where I'm heading with this, because I have no idea.
