All Ball brothers on the lakers.. 

Post#1 » by DS17 » Thu Dec 7, 2017 6:36 am

What do you guys think of this?

This is something Lavar is trying to make happen so I wanted to know as fans of the Lakers, if this is something you would support. I mean all three can play and obviously they will all improve however the drama that would happen is just nuts.



ALSO.... the revenue and attention that the lakers would get from them would be insane

What about Gelo? Don't underestimate him, he would steal all the attention.

They all cannot play.. Gelo really screwed up his shot.. he was lucky to even get a scholarship to ucla. Wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Melo coming up behind him. He wasn't even a McDonald's invite.. Gelos athleticism was barely enough in HS. He'll get exposed in the D league or overseas.

Melo has potential but he also doesn't have the athleticism for the next level. He's still young so who knows if his quickness and leaping ability randomly shows up. What should scare people though is his form. It's arguably worse than Zos. At least Zos form eventually finishes with a normal release with back spin. Melo uses 100 % elbows to push his shot. Often times giving the ball Zero rotation. No lie you can read "spalding" on the ball on his shots. These terrible forms are a result of lavar making them shoot 3s before they were strong enough to properly do so. Someone should fix his form if he wants a chance at the next level. If they were smart Melo would go back to HS and still commit to ucla. Going pro to play overseas for melo is a terrible idea. He is going to get pushed around by grown ass men and it will ruin whatever stock he has going for him. Mudiay didn't do well in China and his stock dropped because of it.

Anyways, Gelo isn't even a legit college prospect let alone an NBA talent. Melo has a chance but I just don't see it. If he does, he's a PG so it wouldn't make sense as we already have Zo. Lavar's master plan would have been great if the rest of his kids were legit nba prospects. But it really is just all hopes and dreams by lavar at this point. He's in for a rude awakening in a couple years.

Gelo needs to be an agent for Lonzo and Melo. Then he can start recruiting other young upcoming stars to be Big Baller Brand athletes...

Gelo will either be a late 2nd rounder or most likely a non-drafted free agent. I think the Lakers will take a courtesy interview and see. Gelo is suppose to be the best pure shooter and the Lakers need shooters.

A lot will depend on how Lonzo turns out. If he starts playing like the #2 pick in the 2nd half of the season, I can see Magic giving Gelo a shot.

The second brother despite the shoplifting charge seems more in the Lonzo mold of a quiet kid who stays grounded but he lacks game. The younger one seems a lot like his dad.

By the time their dad gets ruining their lives Lonzo will be lucky to be the only one that made the NBA

With reports coming out LiAngelo was the only one who stole from all three stores yet he and his dad still throw the other two under the bus and the way they handle themselves in general even if he had the talent the kid and Lavar has raised enough reflags about himself and the family that they're gonna need talent by the truckload to even get a look from a pro team. GMs are not gonna bring upon their teams that kind of attention for role players

All three of them on one team? Basketball’s played with just one Ball.

According to ESPN, Melo is ranked 2nd among all PGs in the 2019 high school class. He is also ranked 7th overall out of all high schoolers. 95 scouting grade, 5 star recruit.

Rivals has him at #17. ESPN like always doesn't do any actual scouting, they just follow the hype which in this case is all Lavar and media driven.

2019 has a deep class.. not sure if you guys have been following the YouTube vids on these kids but Greg Anthony's son is going to be a problem.(Cole Anthony) He has ridiculous boosties.. looks like DSJ out there as a kid. . Has some nasty posters already.

No one is drafting him, period. This is from the guy who started the draft board thread for him. :lol:
