Lakers trade point guard Lonzo Ball to the Suns for (....)

[BC867]

Both, Doug and Wolf as well as Bickley and Marotta have scheduled inferviews with Lavar tomorrow...

I had to chuckle. Is that an inferred interview?

I’m all for these interviews. Who cares about desperation? This is appointment listening.

That would be a horrible trade , why did they not offer tj instead he's the one that doesn't fit their team and lonzo is not worth that high of a pick let alone that pick and JJ

 

[TJ]

TJ Warren and the Milwaukee 1st and a 2nd. We’ll take back Solomon Hill’s contract, too.

Yeah 2 years ago.

Jones is going to cave on this as a favor to LeBron.

 

[GatorAZ]

I’m guessing nothing happens because New Orleans will wait till the summer. Doesn’t mean I won’t be refreshing Woj/Shams like a mad men these next few days.

 

[taz02]

they were talking on the radio today about how the suns would have picked Ball #1 overall.

 

[Matt L]

I would be pissed if this happens.

Why?

That figures.

Ya and I wanted Sam Bowie also #1 lol.... I am sure the Suns would put Ball much lower now.

Yeah, Gambo and others said that at the time. Don't know if it's accurate, but that was the rumor.

 

[Raze]

I've got some numbers for you.

38%. 31%. 44%.

That's Ball's FG%, 3Pt%, and FT% respectively. Please re look at that last stat. It isn't a joke. Name a worse FT shooting G in the history of time. He's awful. Truly awful. This just screams that the guy has no work ethic. I mean geez Lonzo, where the heck is your pride?

30.

That's the number of games he missed last year alone. Now he's going to miss a bunch more this year. He's predictably injury prone with his skinny frame and horrific fundamentals. His knees won't last under the duress he puts them under with that disgusting shot. Expect a ton of games missed per year from him.

That's how much heart I see out of him. He carries the confidence of a 13 year old girl going to her first dance. You can ACTUALLY see his nerves on the court. He's visibly shaken by normal games in normal situations.

31

That's the highest draft pick I'd be willing to give up for this circus act. To even hint that JJ is involved is preposterous unless they're giving us a heck of lot more than Ball.

That's how many weeks that it will take before everyone is tired of his dad's sideshow.

 

[Covert Rain]

I don’t buy it. Ayton was always their guy.

It was the year we got Josh Jackson and the rumor was we'd take Ball over anyone else

 

[iLLmatiC]

Why? Disappointed makes sense but why pissed? We need a point guard desperately and we don't really have a place for TJ. Is Ball the answer? Nobody knows. But getting a 21 year old that excels at some aspects of the game for a player we really don't need and some cap space we probably can't take advantage of makes sense to me. Unless, of course, we have a better option in mind that is priced similarly. And if that's the case, I'd go that way just to avoid the possibility of Lavar.

20 ppg scorer who just improved his 3 point shot on a reasonable contract. Give away one of the other wings like JJ or Oubre.

Duh....what was I thinking? I keep forgetting Ball has been sucking at shooting for more than one season.

Lonzo is a better 3pt shooter than JJ but he needs to fix his FT. It’s very odd considering he was respectable solid at the line in college. Have you seen anything in his release that’s different from UCLA or is it too ugly to decipher? @Russ Smith

A 20 point scorer that gives you nothing else and is easily shut down by a single defender. He'd be a nice role player off the bench but JJ and Oubre fill up a lot more categories than TJ ever will. Some of those categories are negatives so it isn't a clear cut victory for them but still, they make things happen and so far, they aren't injury prone as TJ has been throughout his NBA career.

 

[SunnyBaller]

Wow deadspin has a new article from about 20 minutes ago basically saying JJ oubre and bridges are all laughably worse than lonzo, it said the sun's should offer a couple of them and picks ! What a joke!

 

[AzStevenCal]

I can't wrap my head around the idea we'd trade JJ plus whatever for Ball. I'm still hoping that the reports are nothing but unfounded rumors but it's worrisome nonetheless. I wanted Ball when I thought he was being priced on his performance to date rather than his draft spot but if that's not the case, we really need to stay away from him. If he's cheap, I'm interested, but if we're going to give away real value it needs to be for someone like Holiday.

This trade would be much easier to make had we had the Miami pick still

Yes but I'd rather have Bridges and I'm not sure I'd give up a player plus the Miami pick for a PG that has yet to show he can be effective in the half court game.
