$22-24 million for Lonzo sounds crazy until you think about THJ for $18 million.

Lonzo shot 38% from three vs THJ at 39%.  Lonzo actually attempted more per game.  

No denying who the much better passer and defender is.  Lonzo also 5-6 years younger.

I agree with Dan he's not the ideal secondary creator in the half court but I think I'd rather have him than THJ.

THIS 100% 

Lonzo's skillset is harder to find than THJ's.

Here is the one thing that gives me pause, the Mavs have shown a tendency to trade what they have for something they don't have. I hope they do not do that. If we move on from Hardaway for someone like Lonzo they need to replace THJ with someone that can still do what he does. That has been the mistake made by the Mavs front office, they trade away guys that have unique skillsets on our team for guys that have a different skillset creating a hole for the original guys skillset we never replaced. 

See Seth Curry trade, trading offense for defense and never replacing the Seth Skillset.

So if we bring in a guy like Lonzo then a priority needs to be adding a guy like Doug McDermont as well to offset the THJ skillset.
