Rozier is alright if you have a wing that plays point. We don't have that. 

Yea to me Rozier is more of a 2 guard at least that’s how I’ve always seen him. Not much of a facilitator and looks to score first.

Man, am I seeing correctly that Ball is shooting 41% from the foul line? How is that even possible? Shaq’s worst season at the foul line during his 19 year nba career was never even that bad. 

Crazy to me a professional nba player, a PG at that, can be that atrocious from the foul line. That’s alarming.

It's definitely worrisome. I'm starting to mentally prepare for this trade and I'm working on convincing myself that a lot of his problems are mental and situational. LA is a circus and I think he could benefit from a change environment, coaching, media, etc.

I think Ball has been playing all year as a dead man walking. Meaning that he knew he wasn’t in the long term plans of Lebron and the Lakers.

But this doesn't excuse or explain his wretched FT and FG %'s

[magicdoc1 261]

DSJ, Fultz,  Brogdon, Russell, Jru, Conley, Lonzo/Rozier, tyus, Bledsoe, Rubio, Lin. 

Not interested is Teague nor Wright.

28% over the last 15 games or something like that. I don't remember

The good news is being a team that is desperate for a PG it appears we have options. 

Not often two players taken top 10 and top 5 and are just 21 become available so soon into their careers.

My wish list rankings of guys I believe are available at the deadline:

1. Jrue Holiday

2. DSJ

3. Conley

4. Ball

5. Fultz

That doesn’t seem possible from an nba player. I firmly believe the majority of us who have any sort of basketball background could shoot better. That almost seems like you’re missing on purpose. Crazyness

i like how this guy thinks.

Ball played well to start the season then got injured. He was playing more aggressively compared to last season when he looked good. I agree w/ some posters here it might be a mental thing or the LA environment. If he came here he could quietly work his game and lead this team. From media standpoint that might be his personality, quiet low-key player.
