Yep.

They need to do something with Lonzo Ball for a first overall pick he is struggling.

In reply to Rudeman

This....

first overall pick


Then....
he is struggling.


So you think someone is going to give them Zion Williamson for a struggling player?

January and the West is a true madhouse. Only one really bad team in that conference.

Interesting that the East top teams have winning records against their Western counterparts this season

 
Ayenmol 2019-01-16 17:14:58 

Strange that what was described as a minor injury has Lebron out 10 games with no end in sight.

Beginning of the end?

Ever had a groin strain??

Depending on how bad...can last months.

 
Ayenmol 2019-01-16 18:40:15 

In reply to Cheeks

They said it was minor...At 34 can he get back to normal or could this linger?

Zion Williamson should stay in school and get an education so should RJ Barrett. Look what happened to Anthony Bennett the point I was trying to make is for a first overall pick he struggles at both ends of the court. Right now Rondo is a better option at the point guard position.

not only they beat the Bulls, they beat OKC too

Zion is a phenom.

I get that, but I think the trend is that you can always continue your education during or after your pro days. People are choosing to get that pro deal as early as possible if they're a top prospect because they're not guaranteed an injury-free season by staying another year in college.

 
Rudeman 2019-01-18 12:18:41 

In reply to Commie

But is he NBA ready?

 
Ayenmol 2019-01-18 14:36:42 

In reply to Rudeman

I think that is the insinuation from the word PHENOM!

 
Commie 2019-01-19 04:59:19 

In reply to Rudeman

Brother. He is from another planet. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like him. Closest might be when Barkley first came on scene and was big but athletic.

This guy is bigger and MORE athletic.

NETS on a roll cool

 
Ayenmol 2019-01-22 12:24:35 

Is Bron bron ever coming back?

Lakers swooning. Is he taking the year off?

Is this his power play to shape the Lakers and wrestle influence from Magic?

 
Ayenmol 2019-01-22 12:27:48 

Maybe he realizes that he can't will his team to mid Playoff standings, much less top billing 8n the Western Conference.

Well, well.

 
Tryangle 2019-01-22 12:32:28 

In reply to Ayenmol

Maybe it's a case of just try and get into the mix then shock some teams. A Lakers v Warriors or Rockets R1 series will be worth watching, and if the Lakers get in and have to face say the Nuggets people would favour LeBron's side to get through.

Carmelo Anthony could be available to help the Lakers v Warriors. Bulls holding on to Anthony for the trade value.

 
Tryangle 2019-01-22 13:06:15 

In reply to XFactor

At this stage of his career could he be more hindrance than help?

Of course don't put it past the Lakers to swing that AD trade and then grab Carmelo in the aftermath.

Do you realise where they were placed before he got injured?

 
Ayenmol 2019-01-22 16:35:56 

In reply to JahJah

And since then the Rockets, Jazz and San Antonio have been on a tear, climbing the standings...Lakers have won a couple games they were not favored to.

So no, there is no assurance they'd be climbing still.

Master Commie how are you doing kind Sir. I have missed our hoops exchanges. I hope you still have Billy King on speed dial and on your Christmas gift list. Be well my Brother.
