Around the League: 2018 Offseason

What's the name of that cream?

Asking for a friend.

And I seriously don't care at all about the Lavar boogie man. He is such a non-factor and all he does is raise the awareness of the rising Phoenix Suns from the ashes.

That's not a very realistic perspective. The off the court influences play a major part in a team's relationship with a player. Shoot, that's one of the main contributing factors in this Kawhi Leonard perspective.

The Balls would burn the Suns organization to the ground.

Yes they would. I'm not even remotely interested in Lonzo.

You guys are silly, with no sense of adventure, lol.

I love Lonzo as a player and I would be all in on him as a Sun.

If Lonzo ever develops a shot, he’ll be one of the best point guards in the league. I don’t think the Lakers will give him up cheap.

Would they give him up to combine LeBron/Kawhi/PG-13?

And if IT ever grows 3-4 inches taller, he could end up better than his namesake Isiah Thomas.

Both have about the same chances of happening.

Lonzo's shot is busted. It ain't getting fixed or developed. He can hit the step back going to his left but Nash/Curry/Paul he won't ever be.

[JCSunsfan]

If Lonzo ever develops a shot, he’ll be one of the best point guards in the league. I don’t think the Lakers will give him up cheap.

And if IT grows 6 inches he could lead a team to a championship. He is a left eye dominant right-handed player. Even if he started from square one building a shot, he is too limited. What you see is what you are gonna get with Lonzo's shot.

Shooting a basketball is like shooting a shotgun. It is built on form and then instinct. You don't really aim. Here is a picture of a shotgun made for a person with cross-dominance.



Lonzo's shot is the basketball version of this gun. The only other options for him would be to learn to shoot left-handed (when you start out shotgun shooters really young you can get away with this) or force them to use their weak eye by using an eye patch or something. The problem with that is that it limits vision that is necessary in the rest of the game.

That's interesting, thanks.

Eye patch? Can’t you just shut your left eye while shooting?

I definitely agree with eye dominance part of this. It's a real thing and it's hard to fix, but it's not impossible. You would have to work exclusively on shooting and not playing for awhile, as you work on developing a different dominate eye for shooting, but it's very difficult to change that part of it.

Is Sheridan even plugged into the league anymore? That article is all healthy guesses.

Isn’t Jabari a RFA?

[ShelC]

If Giannis is doing everything, he needs shooters around him. Bledsoe and Parker aren't shooters.

[O_Gardino]

It'll be exciting to see what they get back for those 2.

[Wally_West]

I am curious to see what MIL could get for Bledsoe. I would think his stock is pretty shit after his playoff performance.

Have you guys seen the stories on Kawhi to Phoenix is a done deal? I'm a little worried that there are legs to it, but for the right deal, I'm all for it.

Who is saying that?
