#LavarBallSays- Ball In The Family (the Other Ball Kid Content)

Edit: should have quoted your post, didn’t know my comment would start a new page ha ha.

 

Uh, yeah, good luck with that IT, 2K likes their cover athletes to actually fill out the entire cover area. I’m not sure their staff are qualified enough to photoshop IT big enough to fit and not look ridiculous at the same time.

 

Your hatred of Lavar is rather extreme LT.

 

DiVincenzo isn't in the same stratosphere of talent as Lonzo. If we traded Lonzo to give DiVincenzo the starting spot, we'd be making a monumental mistake.

I'm all for trading Lonzo if the right deal comes along, but I'm not entertaining moving him just because his dad sucks. Kobe's parents ripped him off when he was younger, we didn't trade him because of them.

 

I like DiVincenzo quite a bit, but he's far less talented than Lonzo. If he had Lonzo's natural abilities, he'd be a lock for the lottery. We're talking about trying to nab him late in the 1st. Shooting might be the only advantage DiVincenzo has, but remember Lonzo shot 41.2% from deep in college (better than Divincenzo's best season). DiVincenzo averaged half the number of assists Lonzo did, but nearly the same number of turnovers. Lonzo is an elite rebounding guard, DiVincenzo isn't. Lonzo is an elite defensive guard, DiVincenzo isn't.

DiVincenzo is best comparable to a bigger Jordan Farmar, he's a bench player. Maybe eventually he can play himself in a spot starter role, but he projects as a bench guard right now at best. For all of Lonzo's flaws, he still has a tremendous ceiling and solid floor. Right now Lonzo is getting compared (almost derisively I might add) to Ricky Rubio. That's pretty much Lonzo's floor in my opinion and Rubio is a solid player.

I like DiVincenzo a lot, but I'm not willing to make any drastic move for him like trading Lonzo just because Lonzo's dad is a creep.

 

But we don't have to do that. Attach 2 1sts ans 2 2nds to Deng, that's a damn steal for whatever team takes that contract and we keep all our young talent.

 

LT, as the British say, you’ve lost the plot man. You don’t trade Zo just to get out of Deng’s remaining 2 years. He has way too much potential, and he’s on a rookie salary, way too valuable. You’re essentially trading the #2 pick to clean up Mitch’s mistake, no thanks. Like TRD said, you offer 2 firsts, and Deng is movable, and if the whole reason you’re moving Deng to get PG and LeBron and retain Randle works out, those firsts are never going to be anywhere near #2 again.
