Magic Johnson thinks Lonzo Ball's triple-doubles in summer league were just a preview of more to come.

"You can see that. If he's getting triple-doubles in the summer league, he is going to get triple-doubles in the regular season," Johnson said. "Just like me, when I got here, there was pressure. I was the No. 1 pick. I didn't care about that. I am going to play my game. Lonzo is going to play his game. The great ones do."

"Lonzo is special, no question about it, because he makes everyone better," Johnson said. "He does something you can't teach. He gives you a scoring pass. Very few point guards in this league can do that. I am talking about giving you a pass that leads to the score, not just passing it to you. ... I like him because he also is now a great teammate. He has a special effect on people.

"I think it is the same in terms of the basketball IQ," Johnson added of what he and Ball have in common. "What is lacking in our game is a guy that can create a shot for somebody else. That is why Golden State, San Antonio and Cleveland are so good. They got multiple guys who can create a shot for somebody else. That is the one thing that he has that you cannot teach."

15 mins of game winners and clowns still tryna disrespect the gawd smh

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Sorry Kuzma, but I'm making this deal last week if I'm Magic, we're loaded at the 3/4 if we could move Deng for an expiring deal for only a years worth of D-Wade sign me up! An extra 18 mil next summer does us wonders may even be able to get 3 max guys

 

[Young_Chitlin]

Make the trade Magic, Rob

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Am I the only 1 that's not cool with offering Lebron the full 4-5 year max to Lebron next offseason at age 33... it's gonna be his last big deal and I'm sure he wants to be the highest paid player in the game he's not signing another short term at his age...

I think it's disastrous signing an aging vet with those miles in year 15, we don't need that man... Paul George, Westbrook, Cousins, Kawhi in 2019 hell yeah not a guy who is bound for a major injury in this latter parts of his career... Mark my words it would be a huge mistake bringing Lebron to LA

You don't want Bron because he getting older but you trying to trade Kuzma for washed Wade?

 

[Jonah 2.0]

I may be alone in this but I'm just excited for this season ahead. So many things can happen during the season so I'll worry about summer 18 when it's a little closer.

Wade is a 1 year rental and comes off the books, that's another 18 mil next summer to maybe have a 3rd max slot... I'm not against Lebron on a short term deal but Lebron at 37/38 in year 3/4 is not who u see today I think
