Yes. For a few a reasons...
For all the hype there’s a ball player in there. Lonzo is a big, pass first, defensively-capable PG. He can’t shoot, he’s not particularly athletic, but he can play and the recipe for any Anthony Davis-led team will be to get that guy the ball anyway you can. We are tough to beat when we can get him the ball.
Second, Lavar would keep this team relevant and accountable. As crazy as that sounds. Only a real basketball operation can handle his type of petty grievances and attention seeking. Can’t handle your business? Loud mouth Lavar will be all over the airways blabbering his mouth with varying hints of truths. I’ve questioned our basketball operations organization in the past and I am hell bent on our having a top notch front office. Means be damned.
He won’t be coming alone. If Lonzo ends up in NOLA then that means something absurd happened that likely involved any two of him Kuzma or Ingram. Sign me up for that.
Davis
Holiday
Mirotic
Kuzma or Ingram
Ball
It’s not title worthy now but 2-3 years of seasoning (and NBA attrition) and you could be looking at something special with Davis, Holiday and Niko smack dab in their primes and Kuzma or Ingram and Ball playing specific roles.
