Kid is going to get destroyed, everyone going to go looking to put his ass down because of LaVar the dumbfuk.

**Otters27** · 06-22-17, 08:18 PM

Lakers get Ball. Wish the kid well hope the dad doesn't put too much pressure on him

**unde0087** · 06-22-17, 08:20 PM

Otters, fuk him. The kid is so great he couldn't even bring his team anywhere in the NCAA tournament but now he is going to lead the Lakers to the playoffs

Can't wait to see LaVar when the Lakers are 30 games under .500

Okay, settle down, tough guy. Fultz didn't even win 10 games last season.

Ya, well Fultz didn't play half the season and he wasn't on a team that lead the country in scoring and had 3 NBA draft picks.

I wonder who the main reason was for UCLA leading the league in scoring...

Hmm.

**Grits n' Gravy** · 06-22-17, 08:32 PM

Minny starting 5 just got a whole lot better. Now they need to find a bench. Zero depth on the team.

Lonzo is a legit pg who will be great if he is allowed to be himself on the court. 18-20ppg w 10-13 apg is his sweet spot opposed to 26/7. His dad's chirping is irrelevant.

And when it actually mattered, the whole Ball family were watching it on TV like the rest of us

Should be a fun team to watch. I thought that would be the case last year, too, though.

His dad is a bit annoying, but I think he has enough smarts about him to pipe down now. I'm not sure if he'll score that much, but the assists should be there. I just hope Lonzo has some worthwhile teammates to play with.

They lost to a very good Kentucky team. No shame in that.

I thought the same thing, but the guy seems to love attention.

Don't see him shutting up any time soon

He'll probably be chirping until all three of his kids roll through UCLA.

I'm just hoping he stays out of Lakers practice.

Okc just got a hell of a talented kid in Ferguson. Russ is going to love helping him grow into a complete player.

I think the next kid probably isn't NBA material, but the youngest one has high hopes.

He will continue to be a top shelf clown until the Magic tells his ghetto ass to shut up or don't show up. I think there is a better chance of Lakers dumping his kid in 5 years then any of his predictions ever coming true.

**jjgold** · 06-22-17, 09:04 PM

a lot of good players in this draft

Who really can break out though?

Minny?? Phoenix??

I was talking about ball, but yeah I like Ferguson, love that pick.

**thetrinity** · 06-22-17, 09:09 PM

Why does NBA do this proposed trade stuff? Why can't the teams just trade picks

My bad. Quoted wrong post.

I think Lavar has good intentions for his kids but he is coming off as a stage mom.

**brooks85** · 06-22-17, 10:29 PM

like mentioned before in the other lonzo thread, lonzo will have a target on his back but in the end that is a good thing. If he is really who the NBA needs him to be then getting everyone's best for 82 games will make him better, quicker.

No parent that has to do this is ever about the kid. They parade their kid around, and in this case his kid isn't even around and he never stops talking. It is all about his time in the sun. He never got this much attention in anything he did in his life so he is soaking up the sun now at his sons expense. Its one thing to be a proud parent, its another to try and steal the whole show. I laugh when people say he is just marketing his brand.

Lonzo would do it himself with his play. No other great star needed their dad to act like an idiot to sell a pair of basketball shoes.

**gauchojake** · 06-22-17, 11:05 PM

Lonzo is paid - Dad will move on to the next one and the next one until they all get paid. Dad is a non issue. LeBron's mom banging team mates was more of an issue than this clown.

take away his appearances on first take and undisputed and he is a nobody

cant see tnt or abc handing him the mic like fox and espn have, but if they keep having him on their talk shows it will get worse
