"Lonzowire"? Seriously?

There's is zilch on hoopshype about Ball to the Suns. This doesn't even rise to the oxymoronic standard of a "legitimate rumor."

Hoopshype algorithm only monitors Twitter. But why only have a template for Ball? Why not any of the other rumored trades that have been mentioned.... Just saying.

I wouldn't mind Ball at the right price... not for JJ. Maybe for some combination of Melton and a lower draft pick. I know his dad is an idiot, and Ball is not the superstar many so-called experts were predicting. But he could fill the role we need here of a facilitator, wouldn't derail our chance at a good pick this year (Zion), and could still have some potential to fulfill more modest expectations.

Hoopshype has been around since before Twitter got big, so I'd be surprised if that's the case.

Do you mean the lonzowire thing? It's a fan site for him specifically, designed to look like real media.

I was in favor of an inexpensive trade for Ball but if it comes with the Lonzowire, I'm having second thoughts.

someone with a voice to speak on behalf of the fans on such a **** job sarver is doing? i'd welcome that, even if i don't want his son on my team
Now there is a thought that would make me change my mind about not having Ball on the roster as a 2-year rental.

Daddy saying publicly about Sarver and his cronies what most of us have been saying to a limited audience. All right!

Unfortunately the Lakers are offering eight players for a trade involving him.

the word is that NO would swap lonzo to phx (we enter as a 3rd team) we'd probably have to give up TJ and accept a bad contract like solomon hill

I would love to hear someone constantly talk bad about sarver on ESPN rather than us talking amongst ourselves here! Let's get LaVar to Phoenix!

This is such a cryptic tweet...

Combined with the fact that Lonzo has taken all the Lakers off his Twitter feed, it makes you wonder is there is a deal in place and they are waiting to announce it

I love this time of year!!!!!

Can someone photoshop Lavar morphing into Venom? He'll be our anit-hero.

I saw it on msn about 30 min ago? Lavar stepping in to voice his opinion on the Pelicans/Lakers trade.

All the Suns have to do is sign the other two sons to keep him.

Seriously, if the price is right, I'm willing to give it a chance.

Booker and Ayton are untouchable. Warren, Bender, Daniels, Anderson, one of Okobo/Melton, and the Bucks #1 are expendable. Oubre, JJ, and Bridges would need some convincing. If any of our first round picks have to be included, they need protection.
