Lonzo Ball has been something of a divisive figure ever since he was first d
rafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA
Draft. Due in part to the sheer, overstated fanfare that accompanied his ju
mp to the pro ranks, Ball has been a lightning rod for undeserved praise and
overstated criticism.
There is no better example of how insane the rhetoric surrounding Ball gets
than last year’s conversation regarding how bad of a shooter he was. Statis
tically, he was a better three-point shooter than Devin Booker. Would anyone
know that based on how folks talk about him? Of course not.
This past offseason Ball and the New Orleans Pelicans were unable to agree o
n a rookie extension. As a result, he is set to become a restricted free age
nt next summer. There is an expectation that the two sides will sit down at
some point and at least discuss a long-term deal, but it’s clear that the P
elicans are in no hurry to pay Ball big money.
New Orleans slow-playing this situation has led many to wonder: could Ball p
ossibly be on the move?
According to Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, five teams have reached out to th
e Pelicans regarding Ball’s status. The list includes: the New York Knicks,
Toronto Raptors, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic.
球哥自從2017年被湖人第二順位選中後 就常常被批評
場外八卦比場內多
上季批評說他外線不準
實際上他三分比太陽的Booker還準
但沒人會這樣認為 都印象他外線很差
這次的休賽季Ball想要頂薪
但是鵜鶘不同意 也不急著給大約
下賽季球哥將成為受限自由球員
預計雙方會好好談一談未來的方向
鵜鶘這樣的動作讓大家在懷疑球哥還會繼續在鵜鶘嗎？
根據Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson報導
有五隊對球哥非常有興趣
