    Lmao. Not gonna bother reading whatever that clown says, just know that if he disagrees then they absolutely made the right decision.

    No matter how loud this moron is now his kid will fall into obscurity unless Zion can carry his sorry ass.

          ^^You listen Lamar because he's a total asss clown, I'm just so HAPPY to see him go and not be a part of the Laker organization anymore. That's the best part of this trade IMO!!

          We Laker fans in LA don't have to read his garbage or hear him on the local news anymore.

          OH JOY!!! ....

            I couldn’t even imagine having to hear that ass clown all the time. Even if his kid was talented I’d have shipped him away for a lot less.

                  good move for Lakers. they had to do it to capitalize on Lebron's final run in the league. no time for player development

                  but Lonzo is special. don't give af what anybody thinks that kid is a BASKETBALL PLAYER in every way.

                  he just needs to stay healthy. everything else will come. the shot will come

                        Lonzo will be a terrific player & most importantly will contribute to a winning culture

                        sorry bro he is not Jeremy Lin. the kid has game. if you know you know.

                        1 year under Bron's wing was enough. time to take that wisdom & start showing out

                          Lavar Ball is a star. When he talks, people listen. People carry his message to other people. He has influence and power.

                            Lmao. I was kinda being a dick with the lin comment but just exaggerating the other direction the way you are to the good.. you don’t know anymore than I do bro so let’s not talk in absolutes as we just speculating (kinda a pet peeve of mine! Lol)..

                            Winning culture? Where did he win at again? I’m having a tough time recalling!!

                            Kid hasn’t even proven durable enough to come close to handling a 82 game nba schedule.

                            Most guys I think have room to improve their jump shots but that ugly shit he passes off as a shot I don’t think will ever be effective enough to force guys to play up on him.

                            I understand why you think highly of him, his basketball iq and instincts are very good and that something you can’t teach. If he has shown any semblance of a great work ethic or willingness to put the extra time in to improve the many things he needs to maybe I’d be quicker to agree, but looking at him you can tell the fukkin kid hasn’t even bothered seeing the inside of a weight room!!!

                            I just don’t think he has the ambition or mentality it takes to put in the vast amount of work he needs to become even a all star let alone great.,. I been wrong before tho so we shall see... if he ever becomes a all star I’ll be 1st to come back and give ya a atta boy!! Fair? Lol.

                              You could say the same thing about Alyssa Milano.

                                your knowledge is lacking. guy has the most fukked up shot to ever play in the nba. Been watching nba since brian winters was a star. actually know big o. Living in cincy met few nba players. Watched lebron play in high school as well as a few coming out of ohio. Guy may get better but as of now he is good enough to be a bench player in the nba. Wish i could of said it for myself so not hating . Just being respectful. P.s. went to college with ron harper. did some work for dave cowens family and met pat cummins to name a few old school.

                                  Agreed,, and maybe I’m off here but judging by his body not adding any muscle mass so far I question his willingness to work on the things he needs a ton of work on!

                                      he won in high school. Chino Hills was a top basketball program in the country when he was there

                                      he won at UCLA. 15, 6 & 8 as a frosh leading them to a 31-5 record. their best season since they went to the Final four w/ Westbrook, Love, Collison & those guys.

                                      Lakers weren't as bad as people think his rookie year. they were good when he played. same last year. he was hurt a ton though. dont have the n umber off hand

                                      kid shot just fine in college. its not mechanics. see Kevin Martin, Shawn Marion, Michael redd, etc

                                      its confidence. shooting is the easiest skill set to improve in the league. this has been proven time and time again. guys get better shooters with more reps

                                      you are wrong about the athletic stuff. he's a legit 6'5 with bounce, speed, & quickness. lockdown defender. he needs to find more proper nutrition and ways to keep his body in prime shape. im sure Bron taught him a ton about those things

                                      at the end of the day, thats a guy that I want on my team. period.

                                        I used to play pickup ball w lot of kids who played in the Missouri valley. Only one who went to nba that I recall was bunch of years older than me, Chris Carr who played for siu and I think had bunch of journeyman type years in the nba. Dude dunked it all over my head! Like I said he was several years older than me tho! He prob still woulda dunked on me but of course he did when he was 19ish and I was 15ish. Lol.

                                          my buddies were doing work on nick lacheys house in ohio when he was dating jessica simpson. She was sunbathing in back yard. I'm definitely afraid of heights but lugged some shingles to have a peek. I was in my 30's and these guys always smoked at my house. So i was a pervert.lol

                                            kid shot just fine in college. its not mechanics. see Kevin Martin, Shawn Marion, Michael redd, etc

                                            its confidence. shooting is the easiest skill set to improve in the league. this has been proven time and time again. guys get better shooters with more reps

                                            you are wrong about the athletic stuff. he's a legit 6'5 with bounce, speed, & quickness. lockdown defender. he needs to find more proper nutrition and ways to keep his body in prime shape. im sure Bron taught him a ton about those things

                                            at the end of the day, thats a guy that I want on my team. period.
                                            UCLA did what in the tourney! Lmao. Winning at a stacked high school don’t mean much. And whether I’m wrong bout his career being nothing is still tbd athletically I’m not wrong at all, he slow, not a great jumper, and has more baby fat than muscle: you starting to come off as more a fan boy than realist.

Been watching nba since brian winters was a star. actually know big o. Living in cincy met few nba players. Watched lebron play in high school as well as a few coming out of ohio. Guy may get better but as of now he is good enough to be a bench player in the nba. Wish i could of said it for myself so not hating . Just being respectful. P.s. went to college with ron harper. did some work for dave cowens family and met pat cummins to name a few old school.
                                              you not telling me nothing dude.

                                              don't matter what your shot looks like if it goes in. its about confidence. he lacks confidence right now.

                                              if we took your logic, every player "may get better but right now is not good enough" then everything is a crapshoot dude. guys that are good stay good and no one gets better? get real

                                                    That all good, me too. You kinda started w the talking in absolutes. Like I said none of us know, we just making speculation based off past knowledge and what we think of the kid. Most the guys you named w ugly shots didn’t end up being all that great. Unless your bar for what is great is considerably lower when it comes to judging what he will become.

                                                    Personally I don’t see that shot ever being effective enough to keep defenses honest but maybe it will. Far as the athletism that only part I’m having a hard time believing can be argued. Those are measurable and pretty sure he don’t measure all that well in any area besides length. Not that you have to be super athletic to be a very good player, it just helps.

                                                      guy has never won. yes he has talent. But only reason he is playing is because the nba is watered down. He is the most overhyped player since shawn bradley

                                                        he probably got to play travel ball with him. props to him. but guy is a joke. They tried to trade him and no one wanted his contract or his father's mouth. I will put ron harper over him anyday.

                                                          I thinks if you could catch lakers shitty front office in a moment of honesty they would admit the only reason they drafted him was cause the PR.

                                                          His dumbfukk fathers mouth helped him in that regard but put a target on his back once he arrived. Still laugh thinking bout how Patrick Beverly destroyed him cause his daddy’s mouth, lol.

                                                            bro I don't know shit lol. i am honestly dumb but I love learning. and I love the game. I only speak on things that I feel confident about. I don't just say shit to say it. unless im fukking around or something.

                                                            the guys I named though were all stars in the league. thats a pretty good baseline. but I was comparing them strictly from the standpoint of shooting mechanics and how even ugly shots can translate to high efficiency shooting.

                                                            look up Lonzo at the start of last year's training camp. he was jacked bro. he's a legit 6'5 w/ long limbs. he's quick. so I odnt know where you are getting that

                                                                He is long, what other areas does he measure well?

                                                                Vertical? I doubt it.

                                                                Any type speed/quickness drills that are measured? Not likely.

                                                                I don’t know that for a fact, if he does really measure well in any of those I’ll hapilly admit I’m wrong, just highly doubt he does.

But for now it is a pass. I think best thing for him is to get out of l.a. because maybe there is to much pressure on him.
