Not sure why people even care about his defense? Nobody buys cards because someone plays great d that I have ever seen.

Just a front for TopShot money laundering to acquire 2k VC packs.


Glad I sold at the bottom.

Local radio is reporting the Pels taking calls on Lonzo and Reddick The Warriors were at the top of the list for Lonzo looking to work something out with Oubre in return I can understand teams taking a flyer on Reddick because he's a Vet. On Lonzo I just have to say to myself if teams are truly calling this means the Pels are not properly utilizing his skills. They ran the floor with the Gentry last year Seems Lonzo was more comfortable with that type offense

It ain’t the system or the coach with Lonzo, it seems. He’s a 3 and D guy at this point, so I can see why some teams see the value in him.

Trying to figure out the potential Oubre fit here. Already have BI and Z on the wing. Unless that means fatboi to the 5 and Aquaman to the bench.

Think, Griffin. Think.

Can’t tell if you’re serious, some of his best highlights actually came on the defensive end in college.

Ok I guess I stand corrected? No I was serious. I don’t personally care how great his defense is and not sure the hobby really does either. The casual nba fan won’t care at all for sure about that side of the ball as unless someone gets stuffed at the rim or has a shot thrown into the cheap seats, Zion had one last year, it won’t make sportscenter.
I have never bought a card cause someone was a defensive stud that can’t score .

Zion has had multiple defensive highlights just last year. Even this year he has some pretty good blocks. Not really sure in this league you can play great defense on pure athleticism. He has a ways to go to become elite on defense but he has all the potential.

The Mavs became Luka's team about 2 months into his rookie season.
The Hawks became Trae's team about halfway through his rookie season.

When will the Pels become Zion's team? When they get rid of Ingram? If they keep Ingram, what does Zion have to do to take that thrown from Ingram?

Think Prizm PSA 10s come back a little more? Been wanting to add one to my collection but I’m thinking they will be cheaper later in the year. Anyone else feel the same?

And yes, this would be a PC item.

Ingram is the only one that doesn't know that it already is Zion's team. He'll figure it out eventually.

I hope that "where there's smoke there's fire" and they ship Ball off and acquire Markkanen.

I'd be shocked if they aren't lower this offseason than they are right now. Then the hope is that next season the team has added some better and better fitting guys around him and he continues to develop and they start winning some games and prices go BOOM

So what would be a good entry point. They seem to be at $600 right now. Would $500 be a good target price?

Agree. I think he'll be a guy that is perceived by the masses to be a better defender than he actually is just because he will have that occasional amazing highlight reel block where he's 3' above the rim and violently swats it into the 14th row.

I could see it getting there, but i would also have trouble not hitting one at $550 if I see it there and was interested in acquiring one.

I don't think that's true. If the Mavs or the Hawks underperform, most will put that on Luka and Trae.

If the Pels lose, no one is blaming Zion for the team yet.

I don’t think anyone is putting the Mavs bad season on Luka. He can only do so much.

I mean this year - the blame is on Lonzo and JJ, and SVG. No-one is really blaming Zion or Ingram for the Pelicans struggles this year.

I think if you're a buyer at $500 then you've got to be a buyer at $600. This is how people end up kicking themselves down the road (i.e. "I can't believe I didn't pull the trigger for a measly $100 more").

This is especially true if you're planning to hold long term.

Bledsoe has been worse than Lonzo. He deserves quite a bit.
