like I frequently argue with Bulls fans who think he's going to be some all-star Point god or some poo poo.

But as far as what the Bulls need he's a good fit.

I'm just tired of dealing with it. Especially since the Pels fanbase is smaller so they make up a larger proportion of every online discussion. Jimmer, Rondo, and then Lonzo. The only one I have missed out on is Lin. And maybe Rose, if what I hear from some people is true.

I've watched a fair amount of Lonzo, he's fine as a player. Has weaknesses, but lmao at being that mad at someone calling him just "good"

He's a mediocre basketball player at best that people act like is a star so yeah.

2 things we can agree on

Lonzo is a ball

Giddey is a star

Your and my definition of mediocre must be different.

I've watched an absolute poo poo ton of mediocre to bad players in my lifetime.

Lonzo is not one of those.

Maybe it's because I argue with them for fun, and when I stop having fun I just write them off as idiots. But other people's inflated opinion of someone doesn't really factor into things for me.

oh and yeah, the Rose people are by faaar the worst.

in some cases I get it, like I have friends from who speak of that dude in reverent tones, as they were from his neighborhood, and Rose has done a ton of good poo poo for a ton of people in that area that doesn't get published.

He also likely participated in a Sexual assault. So yeah, you know....

But yeah a number of chicago people will argue bloody murder at you if you say anything bad about Rose in front of them.

DeAndre Jordan is a total waste of space, he can't even rebound anymore, getting destroyed by Javale McGee.

Malik Monk is loving this "I don't think we actually have an offense" offense the Lakers are running in preseason so far.

Monk is so much better than any non-AD player tonight and I am only including AD because he played really well defensively in the first half.

So... better than Kendrick Nunn and a 400 year old Carmelo in preseason?

Seriously though, Monk was a great pickup. Great situation for him and a helluva deal for 1.7m

Kira just tried to dunk on RoLo at the end of the first quarter but was blocked. I feel so conflicted.

LaMelo�s shot always looks bad but when he�s missing it�s kind of alarming. I won�t really trust it until he has like three years of 35%+ shooting under his belt
