People wanted Lonzo? Dude's never been the same since the knee thing in Chicago. I wish him the best. It's tough to see injuries derail a guy's career.WildWolf2813 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 3:54 pm a year ago we were dying to get Lonzo Ball. Now he's out there and I'll cringe if he's out there in a Wolves jersey
Makes sense. Wolves will need to move on to smaller things at some point.
Yeah. Injuries seem to have hit him hard.Crazysauce wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 3:46 pm Lonzo Ball and 2 seconds to the Jazz. The Jazz are expected to waive ball.
You know who has worse stats this season than Mike Conley? Tyus Jones. What's up with him?Phenom wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 3:45 pm Wolves also have a trade exception from trading NAW that is usable after the Conley trade worth 7.6 or so. That would be enough to take on Dosunmu or Tyus Jones. I wonder if Orlando would pay a first to dump Tyus and avoid starting the repeater clock.
A first from Orlando with Tyus, a first from team A for Rudy, a first from team B for Julius, Rob, TJ and Joan for Giannis and change.
A guy can dream.
It's too bad he is (or was) a good basketball player when healthy and exactly what so many teams would need and a fantastic fit next to Edwards. But the guy he was at one point probably is gone. Idk if he is even a rotation player at this point. Some team will probably give him another shot because of his size and theoretical ability. I think there were a number of people here that were willing to take a gamble on him being healthy (if it took little to acquire him) and at least a solid backup combo guard. It's rough he got dumped.AbeVigodaLive wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 4:22 pmYeah. Injuries seem to have hit him hard.Crazysauce wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 3:46 pm Lonzo Ball and 2 seconds to the Jazz.

Out for two seasons.
Shot 36.6% last season in 35 games.
Shot 30.1% this season in 35 games.
Granted, almost all of his shots are threes... but that also shows he lost any explosiveness he might have had.
He has a donated mcl transplant. That knee is completely cooked as it was bone on bone for awhile. No thanks.Monster wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 5:01 pmIt's too bad he is (or was) a good basketball player when healthy and exactly what so many teams would need and a fantastic fit next to Edwards.
