Someone explain to me why Lonzo is getting LeBron minutes in summer league

Our minute management for him has been horrible, dude gets gassed halfway through the third

For the same reason Lebron is getting those minutes.

Only good playmaker in his team.

Lonzo can rest between summer league and preseason. Right now, he's auditioning for a non-exclusive multi-year shoe contract with Nike, Adidas, etc. Dude is gonna get paid by the likes of Nike and occasionally wear BBB so his dad and brothers can put some change in their pockets.

This was all a part of Lavar's plan. I thought he was crazy too rejecting Nike's offer of 5 million but he was right, Lonzo is worth far more than a 5 million dollar shoe deal. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets something close to 100 million for all the buzz he's creating. Big market city, storied franchise, etc etc. Pay the kid!

Big companies like Nike don't take too kindly if you just wear some other brand. Either they buy out BBB or that shit just goes away. I don't even think they have even made any shoes yet outside of the prototypes.

That could be the other reason he hasn't worn bbbs again. Had two pairs and they all get worn out lol

 

[darkwing-buck]

I can honestly see Under Armour paying Lonzo considering they need some more faces on the basketball scene.

Melo told people as recently as this weekend that he thinks he's still going to HOU. What happens if NYK now wants to hold off on a trade?

Melo getting it done for us

 

[darkwing-buck]

 

[Hyperactivity]

Same dude that wanted Paul George in Portland. Guess that confirms Melo to Houston

 

[Sumidor]

Ewwwww.

Jesus christ everyone in this game looks exhausted

Welcome to Vegas Summer League. The last couple days of this tournament is always just scouts saying "I can't wait until we can get out of here." Everyone thinks it's too long.

DSJ looks like Dwayne Wade 2.0

DSJ looks like Dwayne Wade 2.0

DSJ vs Ball Duel is legit.

Free agent Luc Mbah a Moute has reached an agreement with the Houston Rockets, league sources tell ESPN.

https://twitter.com/BobbyMarks42/status/886705633399066624

Salary for Luc Mbah a Moute in Houston is a cap hit of $1.5M and $2.1M in salary.

https://twitter.com/BobbyMarks42/status/886706559933394944

Mbah a Moute opted out of a $2.3M contract with the Clippers but will actually net more income in Houston based on no state taxes.

Lonzo Ball is wearing the Air Jordan 31 tonight. When asked if he's trying to start a bidding war, his answer was, "Something like that."

 

[Sandfox]

DSJ going 9th is hilarious, especially with the Knicks passing him up for the sake of the triangle.

Brandon Ingram looks high

He always looks like that even in pictures of him as a kid.

Sources: After week-long talks ended w/ Atlanta backing out of offer to Mo Speights, one of market's best shooting centers available again.

 

[Fjordson]

Man Lonzo's vision is sublime.

 

[shwimpy]

goddamn, dat vision.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Those passes are nice

 

[darkwing-buck]

The Zo-Show.

Lonzo has 14/4/8 on a 101.7 TS% and we're not even done with the second quarter.

[RedAssedApe]

god why are espn streams always so garbage

 

[darkwing-buck]

Lakers are the SL Warriors. Unreal.

 

[shwimpy]

trade randle, start kuzma.

 

[Fjordson]

Kuzma!

 

[Tubobutts]

If Kuzma can hit threes in an actual NBA game he's going to take Randle/Nance's spot

 

[Forceatowulf]

Please be real, Kuzma.

Please be real

Please be real

Please be real

Please be real

 

[Ninja Scooter]

DSJ looks like Steve Francis 2.0

Correction.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Please be real, Kuzma.

Please be real

Please be real

Please be real

Please be real

Amazing pick, win-win for us cause if Randle shows barely any improvement this season we already have a replacement ready.

 

[FullMetalx117]

DSJ looks to be a steal in the draft

 

[darkwing-buck]

No Zo, No Problem. Kuzma got this.

vander blue is such a fucking black hole.

Just imagining a CP3-Ariza-Tucker-Mbah a Moute-Capela lineups

God damn this is a good pick-up. What's next, Tony Allen?

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol what happened to that lead

 

[FZZ]

The worst officiated half in all of summer league

 

[Forceatowulf]

lol what happened to that lead

a tight calf happened.

Save us Kuz

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol what happened to that lead

Lonzo sitting out happened.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Lol lost our best player in the 2nd half and still beat them. DSJ looks nice, was expecting him to make a huge run though in the 4th.

 

[Darkman M]

BBB culture

 

[Miracle]

God the refs were all over the Mavs's dick this game. Luckily the right team overcame it anyway. Just barely without Lonzo too.

Thank you LaVar for creating a wonderful son. The Lonzo effect is clear as day.

Barely beat them

we had a 26 point lead

but luckily we knocked down shots at the end and the calls weren't all going in favor of the Mavs

 

[darkwing-buck]

That lonzo punch pass was insane.
