"They're soft. They don't know how to coach my son," Ball told the website during a recent interview. "I know how to coach him. I tell him to go get the victory. Stop messing around."
LaVar Ball said he does not take issue with the job Lakers coach Luke Walton has done during the team's 7-10 start to the season.
We avoided this dumpster fire of a family ;D he’s already trying to get Walton fired

YESSSSSS
-
It was just a matter of time haha
-
Poor Kuzma gets no attention because of Lonzo's mere presence.
He's the best rookie they drafted this past summer it seems.
And one LAL player reportedly is sick of the attention Lonzo gets.
Hope it gets ugly at LA LA LAND! :laugh:

So sad!

also sounds like he's trying to get a coaching job

LaVar is the biggest tool in the shed

After Lavar's rambling, incoherent 25 minute self promotional and self aggrandizing interview on CNN last night, it seems only right for him to go from that to criticizing his son's play and blaming it on the professional coaching staff of an NBA team coddling his kid. Obviously Lavar knows more than the Lakers.
Lavar Ball couldn't have happehed to a better franchise than the Los Angeles Lakers

Is anyone surprised by this?

I would be surprised if anyone was surprised by this

I am surprised he took this long to say it, though maybe he held back over the LiAngelo situation.

the best part is as they lose more games, this hothead is going to get louder and point fingers and cause all types of drama and bad attention to the team, causing them to lose more with distraction. Veterans know how to block out distractions but the Lakers are young
-
I look forward to the day when Lonzo realizes he's the only money maker in the family. The siblings aren't NBA players, and Lavar can't be "dad" forever when Lonzo is 25, 30 years old.
Lonzo has talent and seems like a genuinely nice kid, and I hope he succeeds despite the Lakers connection.

Whenever I see this guy on TV - which, thankfully, rarely happens - all I can think of is, well, this, hehe -

LaMelo is a NBA player. He is the 7th ranked recruit in 2019 by ESPN. His rating is a 95. As a comparison, Lonzo was rated 4th with a 96 rating.

That said, he should publically tell his dad to shut the hell up.
As for this topic, the one that seemingly doesn't know how to coach Lonzo is Lavar. I mean I don't think Lonzo taught himself that awful shooting motion or the lack of defense.

yes he is...he only cares about getting sons game off
he want the Lakers to be run by someone like Dantoni
Have Lonzo rebound and run run run
But Walton is not working his system this way and a good chunk of it, is half court basketbal
somenething Lonzo is not good at with his crappy shot
three possible outcomes
1. Magic tells Lavar to shut up
2. Magic fires Walton
3. Lonzo is traded or eventually rookie option not picked up.
-
31% Fg% and 23% from 3pt. Yeah, the coaching is pretty bad.
I think Lonzo still has a lot of promise though. LaVar, not so much promise.
-
I know this is counter-intuitive and dangerous ground, but I wonder if the Lakers should give Lavar Ball a small, insignificant role within the organization. That way they could control his media availability and give him something personally to lose if he keeps being a detriment to the team.
I mean, only if they think he is a problem. Maybe they don't think he is a problem.

I would just point out that being highly ranked as a high schooler and being an NBA player are not the same thing. I'd agree LeMelo is on track, but no sure thing. Look at the past lists of highly ranked prospects and they are full of guys who never made it.

All true, but many "experts" have said all along they felt LaMelo was the most talented of the brothers. It will be interesting to see what he ends up like.

My guess is Lavar is too savy to fall for that. He can make more money being an idiot who spouts off than he ever could in some official, inconsequential role with the Lakers.

I agree in that I actually think LaMelo has a higher ceiling than Lonzo. I think he's slightly more naturally athletic and doesn't have the same weird shooting form. I think 'Melo's main weakness right now may be discipline. If he is coached well over the next few years, he should be solid.

I wonder what the O/U on this happening was.

Well at least if they do this they will end up with a really high draft pick.
Oh wait. I meant to say WE will end up with a really high draft pick. Bahahahahah!

Translation "My son is not doing as hot as projected so I am covering for him."

Kuzma is looking really good for the lakers. Probably best for him if he just floats under the radar and lets Lonzo deal with the over-hype and attention.
And at some point someone needs to tell Lavar to just shut up. He isn't helping his kid, just stroking his own ego to keep his name in the media. Lonzo probably deserves better, he seems more level headed than his crackpot dad.
Not that I mind the infighting....lose lakers lose....

yup. complete blabbering idiot. THANK GOD we did not draft his son.
-
wow! 2 months in? I thought it'd be around the all star break we'd be hearing this. oh well, Lavar will be coaching this team by next yr.
