The Official CHB NBA Thread....(Regular Season, Playoffs, Draft, Pre-Season)

I think he is, but his skill set, or lack thereof makes him more suited to a backup role. He has the upside, but he doesn't have the fire or swag to be good on a consistent basis. Look at TJ McConnell on Indiana. The little guy busts his ass, just to be as good as Lonzo is now, and he is almost as good, on a cheap contract. Lonzo will never live up to his draft pick, but he can be good player on the right team.

The only issue he has is timidness, if he becomes more aggressive on his drives to the basket that alone would open up his game, that and he has yet to play for a competant coach. He would thrive in a D'Antoni system or a Pop system or with the Warriors, but he has been cursed playing for that joke Walton, bum Gentry, and the scam artist SVG.

I wish I knew the fine line between players having the power of owning themselves and their brand, and a system that rewarded continuity

If they get rid of the arbitrary salary cap, you could have both

Lonzo isn't a playmaker at the NBA level.

Disagree, he showed he was a playmaker with the Lakers and with Gentry.
He is one of the best passers to play the game, his court vision is up there with the best of all time.

AD only with a calf injury is a miricle, but just shows why he needs to be traded next year.
The kid is brittle, new age Mr. Glass. He got that late onset of Greg Oden.

Agree to disagree on Lonzo. IMO, he has basic handles, is averse to driving to the basket, and is only an effective passer in transition. His reads are simple. His little brother actually has better court vision.

The Pelicans are really fun to watch. Especially Zion. If they could just play consistently average defense, they would be dangerous.

I can't believe Brooklyn came all the way back. Phoenix just got too relaxed.

@Sister Sledge
Looks like the Lakers are making the move to get Mo Bamba.
Ainge lost out again, smh.

as for Phx, as long as Booker is the best player they will under achieve.
CP3 needs more time to get that team under him I trust in him above everyone else.
Man is going to be a HoF coach when he retires.

I just don't know what Ainge is doing. They have the resources to take a risk on a legitimate 5. They need to waive Semi Ojuley. He sucks. Move Thompson or Theis to the 4. There is no way that shouldn't be talking to Orlando or Cleveland.
Phoenix is fine. The just need to keep doing what their doing, build chemistry with their bench players, and keep developing the young guys.

My boy lonzo and nem came back and put yall to sleep.
This shit is sad, yall got to do something about Stevens.

Boogie is about to get bought out in Houston, so your boys might be able to get Bamba because they are saying Boogie is going to the Lakers.

The main problem is Stevens and his predictable offense. Things are just bad. I do think Boogie is going to LA. Gasol has been a shadow of himself.
Ainge needs to go ahead and give Orlando a first rounder for MO.
Tbf, the offensive scheme sucks. There is no need to even bomb away against the Pels. Any team can get anything they want against them. Kemba went 1-12 on threes. Brad should have benched him. He has lost the team. He needs to go.
On another note, it's good to see that Lonzo is finally getting confidence in his offense. He is finally turning it around.

Your boys need some size and toughness. With AD out, they can't compete with the best. Losing to the Wizards is bad. Boogie can't defend, but he gives Lebron another facilitate who can score.

Get Brad Stevens the fuck outta there!!!

 

[Sister Sledge]

Man, this shit is enmarassing. The Celtics suck ass. Stevens should just step down.
