    Dude, in a close game in the 4Q EVERYONE knows you need the worst shooters on the court - 2 & 3P%, including FTs.

    Shooting is the least of his problems, he has a blown knee like Adams and Kawhi.

    I think a lot of people right now are just like

    Without thinking too hard on what that something is

    We should have traded for Alvarado honestly, he's the closest we'd have been able to come to replacing Fred without paying a first round pick. The other option I saw the other day is that Cameron Payne came back to the NBA from Europe and signed with the Sixers.

    Neither guy would magically turn us into "real" contenders, but either one might have given us slightly better odds of advancing to the second round or later.

    You don't need to be a shooter to be effective.

    We already have a point guard who can't shoot though and his leg isn't cooked

    Lonzo just doesn't bring anything we don't already have a better version of. Maybe a bit more playmaking than Amen or Reed but it's not worth the tradeoffs.

    Unless he magically turns back into the player he was before his knee exploded, which seems very unlikely, I don't see the fit

    We need a pass first player and that is what he does

    I guess him and his brother can concentrate, on putting out crappy music then. One hit wonders make people delusional.
