New rumor is a one year rental of Lonzo Ball at $10 Million. Does that mean Rob is gone??

Ball has played an average of 12 games per season the past three years, and only 35 games in 2021-2. If Mike is the return to the Bulls as rumored, Rob will likely get a baptism by fire next year. Doesn't sound like a TC kind of move.

Lonzo Ball checks a LOT of boxes - almost as many as Derrick White - when it comes to the ideal PG next to Ant. Of course one actually has to be available to play too and that's where my confidence in him plummets. He was practically a part-time player even before the knee stuff sidelined him for two seasons.

I thought they game Conley a no-trade clause when he signed that last deal.

Oh yeah, I think that's right, mjs...forgot.

I don’t think so. I don’t know who the Wolves would trade for Lonzo but I can’t believe TC would trade Dilly for him.

Lonzo is the NBA version of Teddy Bridgewater

It’s not in Conley contract. It was a reported hand shake agreement but Conley does not have a no trade clause

I would take Lonzo Ball on a 1 year deal and only a 1 year deal.
