The Lakers will NEVER recover from trading Zo.

Unbelievable that they would do something so stupid.

Zo is a HOF'er


Trolling?

Must be a generational thing, but Zo is a lot like Justin Bieber: his fans are all under 20 years old.

For me the cream always rises to the top and Zo fans have excuses for him time and time again. Nobody made excuses for all time greats like Kobe. Perform. Period. That's it.

And Zo didn't. He showed flashes of a good nba player but he also showed really bad weaknesses. It speaks to the youth of Zo fans, because they have no idea what it takes to completely change your game around. He will never be an elite shooter or finisher. Just not going to happen.

He's a Ricky Rubio with much better defense. That's it.

Would've loved to keep Zo, but he had to go. Glad his dad is gone, though.

I had high hopes that Lonzo would be a franchise changing player.

It hasn't turned out that way.

He has potential, but honestly I question how committed he really is to being great.

I won't say never, but it will be 10 years before the Lakers will be able to fully recover from this trade. This trade was so short-sighted and such a big mistake. Zo and BI make All Star,the Pels make their run, and the FO (and Magic) will be regarded as fools.


Honestly these comments make me laugh and I'm a Lonzo fan. It's as if we had lost a Michael Jordan type player. Please Lonzo will be a very good player but for AD it's a no brainer. Anyone that says otherwise has no common sense.

He was actually the only person that would play defense, if you really think your going to just win a championship with AD/Bron you have another thing coming for real.
And you know Zo is a true point guard, guy knows how to run a offense but hey everyone wants him to be a superstar after 2 years such a joke.
Theirs a reason his name is attached to every trade offer.

Lonzo would never win a championship unless he had superstars or guys who where unstoppable scorers next to him, and to get superstars you need to have assets that you can trade. So one way or another you're going to have to make moves that will hurt your favoritism for certain players, but in the long run you win with superstars. People who can pass are a dime a dozen, GOAT's don't grow on trees and in the end they get you the bling bling. If you play hard ball and miss out on the AD trade thinking that he will leave in 2020 and come back to you, you're taking a huge chance on loosing him. Almost 99% of the time once a player is on another squad you lost. This was a trade the Lakers needed to make, yes it hurts to lose players that we have grown with but the team was just going to spin its wheels and get nowhere while LBJ's last best years wither away.

That's only possible if he becomes a FA and he wants to return. I'm sure his father will influence him otherwise.

Hey! I'm 21!
As much as I love Zo, I am content with the trade and wish him well in New Orleans

Don't doubt the Bonga.

Has similar skills as Zo just needs experience to grow into his talent.

I'm speaking about the totality of the trade not just Lonzo.

I think they should hire Kareem and Lamar just for Bonga ...

I'm sad for Lonzo, because really loved him. But glad that we got rid of his s*** face father.

Bye dude, hope you'll have a huge career.

Gentry is right coach for him. Him and Jrue defending those guards will be amazing and Lonzo and Zion at break? Oh boy Pelicans will be fun to watch

Shoots worse than Shaq and plays half the year when he isn't hurt. Goodbye Zo! With that said, I am going to stop buying jerseys for a while because I got DLO's Lakers jersey and Lonzo's UCLA jersey hanging in my closet

LOL...... funny. Time for you to buy some Clippers' jerseys as no one would care if the player's name on the back is still on Clippers' roster or not.

GO LAKERS~~

Lonzo was the only piece I really minded giving up. #4 pick was nice but it was found money, can't really miss it. Don't much care about Ingram or Hart, decent players but nothing special in my opinion.
