People just hating cuz LeBall Jonzo gonna tear it up.
Watch come mid-season, James will be asking Luke to have Lonzo on the floor with him at all times. |

Harden/CP3 comes to mind, and it was last year. I'm sure there are more and better examples if you go back. |
Magic and Norm Nixon |
West, Wilt and Goodrich would've been pretty slick I bet. All three dominant scorers and proven facilitators (when they wanted to - in Wilt's case). |
West and Wilt were great together, and yes they both were excellent passers. Wilt at the Laker stage of his career was very willing to share the ball and make the right basketball play. |

| I love Zo’s game. He has a super high ceiling. But with his injuries, his Dad’s mouth, his unreliable shooting, and (maybe) the diss track I feel that the Lakers have him in a short leash right now. |

One thing I am excited to see with these three, is that they all bring a unique aspect of playmaking to the table.
Zo - He’s going to get 2 assists per game to Lebron alone on outlet passes. Not a dribble penetrator but keeps the ball moving
Rondo - Breaks down defenses and finds the open man
Lebron - Will draw multiple defenders and finds the open man. Can play in the post and draw double or triple teams there.
Maybe I’m trying to find reason for optimism, but, I think it is at the very least interesting that we have 3 playmakers that aren’t really duplicative and all bring something unique to the table in this regard. |

| I think you're a 100% wrong on your assessment of Lonzo's capabilities but damn it I hope you're right! |

Not to mention "al-time."

With our running game, one would think we'll see some really dynamic ball. |
Grammatics? No offense, but it hurts to read your post/s.

Brian Shaw, Shaq, Kobe. Then again the Warriors can move the ball like no other team ever, so they are probably right at the top of best passing teams of all time. |

The King and The Savior are going to be nails together.
For Lonzo, it is just a matter of staying on the court, the narrative will be very different on him next summer if he plays 75 plus games this season.

I love Kobe, and shaw and Shaq. Objectively now, their passing/ playmaking abilities are on par with James, Zo, and Rondo? C'mon man. 😂
The warriors elite movement is based on top talent dedicating themselves to a system with all time shooters creating a bunch of space.
None of the warriors individually has the playmaking ability of James or rondo, maybe even Zo by mid season. What happens when we gel in a system. I'm pumped! |
