Lonzo Ball Thread (Merged)

[KG Living Legend]

Oh, and no #$& way would I want him on the team unless he divorced his dad. And even then, I'd rather have Fultz,Jackson, or Tatum.

 That's a good point. Notify Ainge. If we  him I want a Legal Separation and they need to be approved by the Legal team on CB.

[Rosco917]

Just wondering out loud, if the Lakers won the first overall pick, would they pass on Fultz to take Ball? Or the other way around, pass on Ball and take Fultz. (In that case Lavar would go totally ballistic, lol.)

And if they did passed on Ball, would Ball actually slip in the draft because his father would be continually trying to get his son shipped to "his" Lakers through the media.

If I were an NBA GM I certainly would be hesitant to deal with his father with him being a such a big mouth idiot being used by the national sports media.

[SHAQATTACK]

I just read where Ball is reported not going to attend the draft combine.


I guess this hurts his chance being taken top 3 .......?   If you can't talk to him why take a chance., get a feel for his sincerity .

He seems to be setting himself up to ONLY go to Lakers ( least he hopes ) , with this move .

Would be funny if Lakers skip him to take another player.

To me he has more to loose than any top choice .  To prove he is everything his big mouth father says he is and that he wants to play for whomever drafts him.

I'm really skeptical now

This does not at all hurt his chance of being taken top 3.  This is something the majority of top players do.

Ben Simmons, Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid, Karl Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor they all skipped the combine too.

Yeah I know all that .   But his situation with publicly stating his feelings about being drafted anywhere but LA .   It changes the way people perceive him.  If I was GM and he would not work out , I would not,draft,him .   He needs to show people what he is about .....meet them face to face .....hiding in LA  whined his daddy does not help his case.  No way.

If he is so great he should.have no problem showing up,

Apparently the Lakers are "enamored" with Lonzo Ball and would take him number one overall.

Lol the Ball arrogance saga continues 

I seriously want these people nowhere near our organization. They just have LA written all over them, and not in a good way.

$500 for a pair of basketball shoes that look just like CP3's you can get for $100

LOL

I've seen enough from this family, off my Celtics draft board.

I've been telling myself not to go too hard on the kid since his dad is the one calling all the shots. However.. at this point i'm kinda hoping he goes to the Lakers and busts.

There are even a pair of shoes over $900... It's like who in the hell do these people think they are?

[Snakehead]

This Ball father is such a clown that it's actually ridiculous.  It's like a character from a movie or something, a parody of the overbearing sports dad.

I feel bad for the kids but I think at this point you should reasonably be distancing yourself some from this kind of thing if you had some sense and were the age Lonzo Ball is.  They turned down actual shoe deals for this.  It's a poor man's Kobe looking shoe that for zero reason costs 5 times as much.

I liked Shaq's tweet:

Big Baller Brand.  Truly a prestige brand worthy of sandals that cost more then Gucci or Prada ones.

It's funny, because Lonzo hasn't even played an NBA game yet.

Also, notice how it's all LaVar Ball but NOTHING Lonzo. Like have you even heard Lonzo's voice lately anywhere in the main news/media?
