You have to take any of these reports with a grain of salt. Teams are just posturing seeing if they can fleece another team who may want to trade up.

most likely. I'm imaging a custody battle in about a years time between Lavar and Magic over Lonzo.

I am not sold on Fox. He cannot shoot and He is 170 lbs. His not the next John Wall! Wall is an inch taller and has 3 inchs of wingspan on him. Wall also had 26 lbs on him when he was drafted. When Fox puts on weight he will lose some of his speed. He is just a little less than Wall in a bunch of areas, but many little advantages can mean alot. Fox cannot even play in the NBA until he improves his weight and strength.

Didn't you hear? LaVar Ball would beat Micheal Jordan 1on1 in his prime.

MJ probably couldn't even beat JR Smith 1on1 if both where in their primes. It's human Evolution science.

Huh?

Wow watching Lonzo's expression while his dad talks his hilarious. There was only one question where Lonzo actually spoke during an 8 minute interview, and when his dad talked about Magic at the end he actually looked a little pissed. I fully expect Lonzo goes #2 to LA but Lavar certainly has to be giving Magic second thoughts.

why though, he's not making it past 2.

I believe the speculation is that Bos might trade down for Sac #5 and #10 pick. It'll never happen but teams are just covering all their bases.

If he's too shy and meek, that may not be what you want out of a player though.

According to his teammate TJ Leaf, Lonzo was the clear leader of the team and never shuts up in the locker room. I think he was just groomed how to handle the media and being in the public eye from a young age. He already answers questions like a pro.

I watched both Lonzo Ball and D'Aaron Fox during College season and I can't figure why would anybody take Ball before Fox. Ball is not a superstar, he will never become one, but Fox has that awe about him, he can play, he is passionate about his team, he can shoot and so forth. I would consider taking him number 1 as well.

LaVar: "But what if the Celtics take him at #2?!"

Host: "...the Celtics have the #1 Pick."

Lonzo couldn't hold back his laugh

:lol:

You literally lose IQ points while listening to this wannabe hustler using his sons as an "investment" meal ticket and way for him to achieve what he couldn't while in the NBA.

I agree with you tho, I can totally see LaVar and Magic Johnson having issues down the road.

Does anyone else keep thinking of Eddie Murphy when LaVar is on?! :lol:

do they like Isaac or Tatum that much?

Also i thought the rumour was 3 for 5 and 10.

Leprechaun18 · Post #1719 » by **Leprechaun18** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 2:17 pm

It would take much more than #5 and #10 to get #1. I heard reports say there is NO trade talk going on between Sac and Boston. I would bet good money that Boston selects Fultz #1.

Dennis Smith Jr. impressed the Lakers with his workout after leading the Wolfpack with 18.1 points on 45.5 percent shooting and 6.2 assists during his freshman season. He had a 48-inch vertical. He also believed he could have helped the Lakers in one specific category.
