Lavar Ball praises the Timberwolves for trading for LaMelo, but URGES them to pick up Lonzo & Gelo as well to GUARANTEE a championship
(h/t @ItsKingSlime)
@RealTomPetrini To an extent, yes. The Wolves biggest problem has been not having a LEGITIMATE secondary playmaker/scorer when Ant is being doubled or just having an off night. Now you have an elite βRobinβ. They can replace βsizeβ (Naz Reid) to some degree in free agency.
Hornets probably arenβt done either. They still are probably trading Miles Bridges which makes sense as well. If they can move him to help build out a quality bench or maybe add another big to pair with Naz Reid, I think the Hornets would be building out a better balanced team.
I actually think this was a good trade for them to better construct that roster. With LaMelo, Kon and B Miller it was βtoo many cooks in the kitchenβ. One of them needed to go and LaMelo made the most since with them acquiring Coby White.
Love the Cameron Carr pick for the Lakers. He was a projected top-20 pick that slipped. 6-5 with a 7-1 wingspan. Good shooter. Also a lob threat. Second-highest vertical among guards (42.5 inches). Tools to be a good defender. Checks athleticism, length boxes on perimeter.
