We have one of the best young stars and a real posssibilty that if this continues he might force a trade in a couple of years. Go big in terms of doing it right. The Lakers showed you can win with McGee and Dwight. Target cheap strong veteran bigs. But for Luka’s running mate target a big guard who can shoulder the PG load for long stretches. That’s why I would see what it takes to get Lonzo. LaVine is also a good choice but I like Lonzo’s defense a bit better.
Either way folks like Bledsoe and Reddick IMO are not the answer.
I disagree a lot on Lonzo. Don't think he helps us at all. Right now he's shooting 40/33/58, he does not get to the line, can't create his own shot, and is a pretty pedestrian creator on half court (so is Bledsoe). Oh yeah, and he's about to get paid (If Fultz got 50M/3y you can imagine how much Lonzo will demand). I'm fine if you wanna wait and get a stud next to Luka, but Lonzo isn't close to it.
