By Kabro Go To PostLonzo aint shit. Really hope Rondo takes his spot.... that's a lateral move...
By Smokey Go To PostIs itI'm saying... Hate getting in the way of sense.
He's now a second year player coming off a knee injury (one that they rushed to get healed because they wanted him to make training camp), which means his summer was spent rehabbing. I'm sure that fixed his jumper though.
Does Rondo even play defense anymore? If he doesn't, doesn't that just make him Lonzo... without defense?
I also just want to say I don't think Lonzo's issue with his jumper was his form, I think it was his footwork. He was always drifting or off balance... I think if that gets corrected he should be a better shooter. What do I know though?

By reilo Go To PostCan't work on that shit footwork of his from a wheelchairActually, yeah you can lol
Shit, if you want to go full tangent and run that scenario, shooting seated or anchored grounds players and forces emphasis on core/fixing a gather - which is a guy like Lonzos primary issue. But again, imaginary training visuals.
Also, as broke as Lonzos jumper was, assuming it never gets fixed... He's still never been consistently doubled off of with the ball the way rondo has his whole career.
Cool. I eagerly await Lonzo's jumper to be fixed from a wheelchair then. I guess we are arguing that now.
Players rushing back from knee injury always works out great, and Lonzo is so good that he'll even manage to fix his jumper while being injured the entire off-season.
By reilo Go To PostPlayers rushing back from knee injury always works out great, and Lonzo is so good that he'll even manage to fix his jumper while being injured the entire off-season.Yes. Rushing back
Right
Had to cut rehab short for media day
By DY_nasty Go To PostYes. Rushing backProbably talking about cutting his meniscus instead of repairing it.

They flat out said they opted to remove the meniscus instead of repairing it so he could make it to training camp.
By Lonzo Ball“They’ve got to take it out..they said they could repair it but it would take me six months to get back. But, if they just take it out it will only be six weeks.”It's the same shit Brandon Roy did, instead of repairing it.
By alt sy Go To PostProbably talking about cutting his meniscus instead of repairing it.Not the big deal it used to be
Edit: Brandon Roy lost his knees in high school ffs
Yeah, comparing anyone to Brandon Roy is dumb. His knees were destined to die.
Wades meniscuses were gone in college iirc, he was way more athletic and reckless and still played like 13 healthy seasons.

Lonzo is nowhere near the athlete that Wade was.
Wade played over 65 games his first five seasons in the league only twice (61, 51, 51 games played the other three).
But okay, Lonzo knee injury is not a worry.

By reilo Go To PostLonzo is nowhere near the athlete that Wade was.Exactly.So him being less athletic is worse for his knee?

I think comparing any medical issue between players is kind of dumb even if it's the same injury, it's not the same body.
By alt sy Go To PostExactly.So him being less athletic is worse for his knee?Yes lol
Having balanced muscle groups around your knee matters a lot.
Thibodeau told reporters on Monday that, "We're not going to make a bad deal," and there is a belief among interested teams that Thibodeau is reluctant to bring strong offers to his owner for examination because he is still holding out hope to get Butler on the floor for Minnesota this season.What the fuck.
By rodeoclown Go To PostWhat the fuck.Lmao!
By reilo Go To PostYes lolI'm not knowledgeable at all about this. When you say not having balanced muscle groups, I'm assuming you're talking about Lonzo not having a meniscus anymore. Or are you saying that because Lonzo is not as athletic as Wade, his muscles aren't as balanced?
Having balanced muscle groups around your knee matters a lot.
It's usually more likely to overcome knee issues if you got stronger muscles around your knees to support and balance yourself out. I'm making a general statement here but it's not something to dismiss, either. He could be fine long-term, or it could cause him more issues. Saying "he'll be just fine" after choosing on his own accord to remove the torn meniscus instead of going the safer route of repairing it, is odd imo. The reality is that he's now made his knees potentially worse by taking out the meniscus instead of repairing it.
By Doomsayer Go To PostDoes Rondo even play defense anymore? If he doesn't, doesn't that just make him Lonzo… without defense?He plays defense for roughly four minutes each game.

we got swept by a player who's been in the finals in the last 9 seasons (in the second round this past season). we've also learned from it, by getting Kawhi.
