Eric Bledsoe to the Bucks for Greg Monroe and a 1st round pick

I'm not sure he can keep going at this pace for a whole season though, the guy's still very young and developing physically, he's had his share of injury issues in the past and is playing an impossible game, like someone described it "he's like Tracy McGrady in Yao Ming's body"

i dont follow the Knicks that much but thats certainly an interesting comparison. he is super tall and kinda thin after all, but so far in his career hes been healthy enough to only miss ~20 games

LOL, what a steal, an absolete non defending post playing big and a useless 20-25 pick most likely, for a quality two way guard, aslong as he stays healthy tho.

Monroe is expiring at 17M tho and there might be some good FAs in the 15-20M range next summer

also wasnt Bledsoe a troublemaker for them or something like that? and that being the reason they traded him?

 

[Osman]

Yeah he twitted I don't want to be here anymore. After they fired Suns coach. Suns the biggiest joke organisation around really. They been trying to trade him for years. They done horrible trades for so many years.

Yeah, Balls trying to be the male Kardashians, get attention any way you can. Since this middle child is unlikely to reach the NBA, why not create drama for their reality show lol.

I swear, one day I'm gonna be hating on Lonzo, and it won't be because of anything he did or because he sucks on the court. I mean, I don't care what his family does at all, as long as I don't have to look at it. But wherever I go on the internet, from YouTube, sport sites, forums etc., I'm forced to look at the contents of their crappy show or the newest non basketball related adventures of his two, to anyone who's not a 15 yo horny girl, irrelevant brothers

On other news, Thunder lost to the worst team in the league

He also does suck at basketball. At least right now.

Sorry @King of Kings

He is having trouble shooting, but he is doing everything else that he was advertised as being able to do well. He rebounds well, passes well, runs the floor well. His assists to turnover ratio is nearly 3 to 1, far better than any other rookie out there.

How so?

8.8 ppg, 6.9 apg, 6.4 reb

Rebound rate is pretty good, assists slightly above average. Points below. I’d say he wouldn’t be ranked as highly as he did if his name wasn’t Lonzo Ball. It’s still early obviously but what do you think the kid’s ceiling is?

11.7 7.7 5.4 38.5% FG as a 21 year old rookie.

Those are Jason Kidd's numbers. And he didn't have nearly the amount of drama around him that Lonzo does. Very little, if any of it, is his own doing.

To me, and I have said this since the beginning, his ceiling is Jason Kidd. And that ceiling is a ceiling of a first ballot hall of famer.

And let's not forget that point guard is the hardest position to play in the NBA, and he just turned 20 last week.

I️ could make the argument that the league wasn’t as shooting focused back then as it is now, especially with all the ISO ball and the teams that Kiddd played in. But you make a good point, he’s still 20.

He certainly has to be more consistent with his shot, but more consistency will come in time. It's not like he couldn't shoot in college. He knocked back 42% of his 3's, and most of them were NBA range. It's just all about consistency. What I love about him is his commitment to making his teammates better, and caring only about wins and losses.

It's a throwback attitude, and I guess that is what I like most. And he makes no excuses.

Jokic with a career high 41pts vs Nets.

Happy for Bogdanovic, he has solid minutes.

I'd like to see Bucks' small ball line-up when Parker returns in january-february.

Hey, at least you guys didn't draft Markelle Fultz

@ALC - Danny A says hi

On a related note, Gelo Ball may be moving from Chino Hills to China Hills for a few years ...

the Lakes desperately need some 3pt shooters. 3-23 is laughable, if you gave me the ball and let me shoot one on five 23 times, i swear id make 4 atleast.
