Maybe because De’Aaron is a wing who can’t shoot whereas Lonzo had one bad shooting night in a fucking summer league game

The sheer randomness of their inception, though, means it would be totally fine if we one day decided to change them, too.

A lot of us didn’t have to wait two months to know that.

You had many words for him. Oddly, none of them were, “My reading comprehension is not what it should be for someone who speaks and writes for a living.”
