IF we miss the playoffs...unlikely. IF we strike gold and get a top 3 pick. Knowing what you know about his asinine father, who would CONSTANTLY be up in the entire organizations business, would you draft him?
No, sadly, and I think the kid's a stud. If we were a large media playground where his old man could rant to his heart's content..... it wouldn't a problem. But Portland's a fish bowl, where rifts in the locker room are hard to quell and just get amplified through the provincial rags and local radio. I mean I guess it might worked if the entire locker room loved Lonzo and the team embraced him. But what are the odds of that happening? From what I've heard in some podcasts, NBA veterans are already waiting to tune this kid up.
The old man wants some. Don't give him a mic. He'll just be another self serving idiot. The media chooses all the losers.
Sure, then I'd buy his dad an old Lexus sc400 and get him to drive it cross country and sleep on the side of the road.
This kid is sick. I thought he was all hype, but he's got game. Some of these prospects come from far more challenging backgrounds and have way more baggage than an overbearing father. And if you step back and think about it, Lavar actually is a marketing genius. His father is not an issue.
To me poor taste is Saturday Night Live. A sense of humor is totally relative to your experiences and values. But then again, I'm one of the most morose MF's out there.
If the story about how his dad was to his sons high school coach is true, I hope someone in the NBA has a polite conversation with him about shutting the hell up.
I think once Lonzo is in the league Superdad will be more invested in getting the other kids in than hovering around Lonzo.
I would take Ball he could be the ideal compliment to Dame or CJ, a 6'6" PG would be amazing with either one. Take a year with Ball coming off the bench figure out which of the 3 has more value to move.
Subjective. Family Guy is often hilarious to me and in poor taste. It is also not funny too, but they try. My aunt had a terrible stroke 2 months before the McStroke episode where Peter Griffin had a stroke. Could be hilarious but I never watched more than 2 minutes of that episode. Not to mention I wish MJs dad was never murdered and I don't wish it on this nutcase either.
Prison costs in Oregon skyrocket. Guards need Hazard pay and they have to reinforce prison walls with military grade tank steel. Just fly him to Vegas on Paul Allen's jet and drive him to Pahrump and ask for the Lamar Odom special. Wayyyyyy cheaper.
