Yeah, we are gonna have 82 games worth of he's leaving, no he's staying!

Until it's done, anything can happen.

What you think about Zo?

I have seen overreactions from both sides.

I'm not looking forward to the " He's a bust " garbage that some labeled Deangelo with prematurely.

Lonzo is not gonna put up big scoring numbers night in and out.

But, he can stuff the stat sheet in every category.

He didn't shoot well, but neither did anyone else outside of Kuzma, Randle and Clarkson. I liked the 7 boards and 8 assists. It's also pretty obvious that when he's on the floor his passing is pretty contagious because he doesn't dominate the ball trying to be the guy with the most assists. He's happy to get the "hockey assist" as long it means the ball is moving.

Gonna be fun watching these guys all learn and grow together.

Work on his defense and he's a bigger J Kidd.

First game of preseason playing against top talent without his biggest offensive weapon, Lopez.

I liked what I saw.

Randle is gonna get dealt if Kuzma and Nance keep balling.

I'd try to attach Deng to his deal at the deadline.

He is the kind of player whose game impact can't be measured on the stat sheet.

There are many guys who post numbers but don't really do a whole lot to help their team win. Lonzo will be the opposite of that. Guys love playing with ball movers.

Like joining a team that was already going to win the title? Doesn't change the fact that he's mentally weak and Westbrook is in his head.
And those things you mentioned doesn't change the fact that he's a winner & RW isn't.

Agree.

If they wanted a guy who was only concerned about getting his, they would have kept Deangelo.

If they wanted a offensive minded guy, but we're too soured on Russell and just wanted him gone, they would have drafted Dennis Smith Jr.

Being a champion and being a winner are two very different things. Sorry you can't see that. Westbrook is a winner.

What does that have to do with anything?


It doesn't change the fact that they are the best team. Just says you're a fan of whoever wins.

Awww, personal attacks when you have nothing positive left to talk about regarding your team.

Um no. Lakers have been losing for a long time now...and the Warriors have been good for a few seasons. The interesting thing though, is I liked each of them through the losses & the wins.

And it doesn't change the fact that you're salty. Get back at me when RW & your team become WINNERS AND CHAMPIONS, k?

No attack unless you don't like being told what you are. I don't really care.

Uuuuuuuuhhhhh....

I don't have a dog in this race.

But, explain, please?

Adam Morrison won a chip.

But, I don't consider him a winner.

He didn't contribute shit.

Durant was finals MVP.

Did he take a easier route?

Major understatement...lol

But, if his doesn't count as being a winner, LeBron and Bosh's shouldn't count either, right?

Never said GS wasn't the champ.

It's about being a winner. You can be a winner without winning a team sport. RW is VERY successful. Way more than Durant. RW is a winner.
