Okay the subject line is:
‘Two Ball’s greater than one?’
(Here come the puns haha)
What I wanted to ask is given how special LaMelo has been for Charlotte, how effective do you think a backcourt of LaMelo & Lonzo could be in the NBA?
Lonzo is coming up for restricted free agency and Charlotte will have considerable cap space going into this off-season. The Hornets could make a huge offer sheet for Lonzo or even get him to ask for a trade and use the threat of the offer sheet to force the Pelicans into a sign and trade for Rozier.
A Lonzo & LaMelo backcourt would be extremely intriguing as their games are complimentary, given Lonzo’s defensive ability and LaMelo’s offensive nature. They are both very tall for their positions and love to move the ball.
But there would also be issues as neither can get to the line effectively and both are on the slight side so a physical guard could bully them easily.
