I would have guessed the dumpster fire Lakers. You guys need the talent.


What is this talent thing you're talking about? I don't see it anywhere on those Balls.

I agree

Pretty solid lineup, Hinkie would definitely approve.

This is why I don't see Lebron going to the Lakers. He's not going to put up with the Ball circus.

Funny post but they aren't grown men...

True. And honestly, they have every reason to trust in the Lavar process because it worked for Lonzo.

Well, it takes like 2 seconds to type 'I don't care' but your point is valid. We should not be giving attention to this fool!

Who cares? It's not like either of them will ever make an NBA roster anyway

Ooof. We still on the free agents don't want to come to the Lakers because of Lavar Ball? Yikes.

Liangelo and Lamelo.... I hope both those kids and their Dad become successful and make money.

Because I don't hate and I see through what corporations try to feed you idiots. That you should side with them. Never side with a corporation.

Honestly, what are they supposed to do? Their father let them stop attending school to be professional athletes in Europe with the promise of an NBA career in the near future. This plan made sense for Lonzo - I don’t follow either of the other brother’s development close enough to know if we can expect either of them to actually make an NBA team. If it’s not even close, then he’s either comfortable doing them an irreparable disservice or he just figures the family will live off the parents and Zo’s income.

Latvia next would be a good step to teach Americans that Latvia and Lithuania are different countries, do it Lavar!

It's great that Lonzo turned out well, but it looks like he really screwed LaMelo. LaMelo was a 5 star guy who would have been all over NBA radars. He still has 2 years before he can enter the draft, right? what is he going to do? Playing in his dad's crappy league?

I really doubt the Balls care about us “regular people”...if they did, they wouldn't be fleecing their fans by charging $500 for a pair of crap shoes that they don’t even pay their suppliers to make for them. Or charging $200 for a Lonzo autograph? They are hardly the heros of the oppressed working class...they are fleecing gullible people just as much as Nike, etc... if not more.

But most teams will be deterred since the really good ones dont need the exposure lavar and friends could get him.


That's interesting for LiAngelo since supposedly he's the less talented of the two.

Yea, I liked Lavar in the beginning, but I'm starting to wonder if the pundits are right that Lavar's hurting his sons more than he's helping. :noway: Like seriously, what's next?


Yea LiAngelo is more ready to play right now. He shot 41,5% from 3 on 5.9 attempts and with 12.6ppg was the team's 2nd best score while playing only 21mpg. Only 1TO per game so it's not like he was destroying his team. And he was physically also ready to defend multiple positions.

Lamelo just has an insanely low basketball IQ and can only affect the game by jacking multiple threes. If he doesn't make those shots, he can't influence the game at that level. He is still just a high school player

based on those stats it seems like all he does is shoot 3s

Exactly. I'd applaud the day one of those kids came out and told that sack of soggy donuts to go pee up a rope.
