>Some observers felt Lonzo Ball came into the Lakers workout

Philly will get Fox, who is a much better player.

When will people stop using this 'anonymous source' meme? It's no better than lying.

>>76509066

>he drank the Trump Kool Aid

Never watched this faggot play. What type of PG is he?

>>76508887
bullshit. Fox will be Wall-esque while Ball will be something a bit higher than a bust. The better player is the better player. Actually, I hope Philly does get him, just to extend your misery.

>>76509094
He not really a PG. He's more of a SG with great passing ability. He can't run a pick and roll at all but is great in transition or finding a cutting teammate

>>76509088
Are you saying people like Chris Broussard doesn't pull shit out of his ass?

>>76509066
Fucking this. If youre in journalism and you're not willing to attach a name to your bold claims, your "source" isn't worth shit.

>>76509094
chucker from a shit conference

>>76509578
>led the nation in assists while shooting 55% from the field and 41% from threes
Sounds like a pretty good "chucker" to me

>>76509685
>NCAA 3pt line
>in a shit tier conference
>can only go one way pre-shot
yeah, real "good"

>>76509578

woop looks like someone doesn't watch basketball but likes to post memes

If you had a team of Lonzo Balls, 41.2% from the perimeter would put them 4th out of 347 eligible NCAA teams, regardless of conference. Of course, we can only wait and see how he adapts to the NBA line - his past-first mentally is going to help him out here, you're probably going to see him look for an open D'Lo or Ingram rather than attempt a dodgy shot from his right side. Only time can tell.

>>76509094
Jason Kidd-like PG.

>>76508792
He's just a bi-racial Ricky Rubio with a broken shooting form who can't drive to the right and pull up.

>>76509790
>3pt line is different in college

wtf?
why the fuck is it like that?

Lakers are blowing smokescreen after smokescreen in an attempt to ruse Boston.

>>76509518
Boussards the dumbest tool around. It's not that he doesn't have sources, it's that he has no common sense in using them. A GM will come to him and say Lebron is staying in Miami, and he'll go and print it as 100% truth, and nothing else. In draft shuffle, everyone is trying to pull tricks on eachother. So if a guy is second coming personified, there will be teams down the line, that will try to hype him down in a hope he drops. Enter Bussard that will publish anything to give him clicks, he won't go further and blatantly invent stuff, but he will print everything he hears as total truth. It'll bit him hard later in his career, as everyone already sees him as having no credibility.

>>76509066
It's way for assistant mangers to voice their dissent. Same thing happens in the White House

>>76509115
If Philly got fox not a single player in their starting 5 would have a reliable 3. Defenses would collapse the paint and dare them to shoot. Fox is a terrible fit for them unless his shot has improved

>>76509558
If a journalist gave the name of every source, no one would talk to them

>>76509967
>dodgy shot
So cute

>lakers pass on him and he comes to Phoenix instead
make it happen

>>76510118
This guy gets it. It's so obvious to anyone with half a brain. Classic smokescreen tactics. Ball will be a Laker.

>>76508887

No way. The sixers should concentrate on Simmons and Embid as their 1-2 punch for the foreseeable future. The last thing they need is a ball-dominating guard with an over-inflated ego.

>>76510118
To do what, exactly? Celtics are taking Fultz no matter what.

>>76510433
But Lonzo isn't that
He is a off ball guard

Watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpOS5zVmji4

A lot of his passes come after he gets the ball from someone else, his usage rate is like 18%

>>76510433
>lonzo
>over-inflated ego
Have you even seen the way he plays? the nigga is cold.

>>76510450
Before the off season it was leaked that Ball was slightly ahead of Fultz on the Lakers big board. Maybe they're worried that if they go off spouting about how amazing he is Boston will pull a quick one and take him. God knows Ainge has been unpredictable on draft night, just look at where Rozier and Brown were taken

>>76510511
Which they don't need. Simmons is a superb passer already.

Sixers need perimeter defense and people that can knock threes. Lonzo has a wonky shot that is going to need LOTS of work if he plans on getting it off.

>>76510450
Celtics can take Ball and fleece the Lakers. Even if the Lakers say fuck it and take Fultz they'd have the exact same player in Snitchy.

The Lakers really do want Ball but weeks before the draft they suddenly throw feelers and claim they're cold on him.

From the Celtics' perspective they can trade Ball to the Lakers or anyone else for a bigger haul. In fact its hilarious to even think the possibility of a Ball and Fultz swap with the Lakers throwing some of their young players and Boston just flat out dumping salaries to match.

>>76510433

Sounds like a solid plan with very low injury risk.

>>76510648
I honestly think Lakers want Fultz and are trying to trick the Celtics in to taking Ball

>>76510632

Are you this naive? The minute he becomes independently rich, this nigger is going full Todd Marinovich.

>>76510667
Fultz never worked out for the Lakers though.

The draft starts with the Sixers.

>>76510667
This would be some pretty insane 4d chess by Magic but I guess they've got nothing to lose

>>76510648

You need to get off NBALive and come back to the real world. What are these player(s) that the Lakers will give up, plus their number 2 pick for the number 1?

>Some observers
Could literally replace that with Stevie Wonder

>>76510667

You remember the unmitigated disaster that Magic was as a coach? How the hell does he plan to out-think Ainge? The Lakers want Fultz because Ball has more red flags than China.

>>76510763
Just float some rumors, it's not that tough. I'm not saying Ainge will fall for it

>>76510661

They are already committed to it. It's a high-risk, high-reward type of situation, but bailing now would be stupid. They just need to roll the dice with Simmons and hope Embid is not Oden 2.0

>>76510776
Exactly. Magic can try but the league has gotten very smart about potential locker room cancer cases in recent year. The fact that Daddy Ball has openly vied for the Lakers puts them in a bad position. They pretty much need to take him second, or else pray that he is a bust.

>>76510848
Magic would be the hero of draft night if he passed on Lonzo and picked Fox or Jackson.

The keks will be legendary, Lavar's reaction will be priceless.

Even more hilarious if he drops out of the top 10 and ends up in a bumfuck team.

>>76510945
Imagine Lavar's reaction if the Sacramento Kings pick him

>>76508792
why don't biracials look like people?

>>76510945

The highest kek factor would be Sacramento

>>76509558

>if you're not willing to attach a name to your bold claims

It's not the journalists who are making the call to keep the sources anonymous. The sources themselves are requesting that their names not be published. If a journalist agreed to keep a source anonymous and then published their name anyway, they'd never get a source again and their career would effectively be over.

>>76510648
If that situation were to occur, I think the Lakers would straight up take Fultz, end of story. Despite what Lavar wants people to think, the Lakers have no obligation to take Ball.

>>76510118
>>76510395
For what purpose? Celtics don't give a shit about Ball.

>>76510730
Stevie can see, though

>>76510945

That is also pretty risky. If Lakers did that, they better pray that Lonzo does not end up being better than whoever they pick, otherwise they end up looking like idiots.

>>76509558
everyone will be suicided by two bullets in the back of the head if that happened.

>>76510074
More like it's different in the NBA. The 3pt line in the NBA is like a foot behind the 3pt line of the other leagues in the entire world, including the US itself.

>>76510293
>>76511078
Sensational news is fucking stay at home wife and E! Tier. It's fucking sports journalism. Not gossip central over who is having an affair with who. When it comes to sports anonymous sources are about as interesting as putting your dick in the dirt.

>>76509094
MJ but better...WAY BETTER

I repeat.

The Philadelphia 76ers WILL NOT draft Lonzo Ball. I can guarantee it. If the Lakers wise up and take Fox, we will trade out of the pick.

Lonzo will never be a Sixer.

>Josh Jackson has been promised to either Lakers or Suns

I told yall niggas

>>76509578
t. small baller

>>76509094
he's like a mix of Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, Stephen Curry and Steve Nash

as in he has Westbrook's shot selection, Rondo's shooting ability, Curry's playmaking ability and Nash's defense.

>>76519723
Curry is an underrated passer.

>>76519803
it's only underrated because it's regarded as bad when in reality it's average, and when you can create your won shot off the dribble that well average is good enough.
