    Paul George was about our hopes he'd become a Blazer. Everything related to the Ball family or the Lakets is strictly OT. IMO it should be labeled that way.

    I don't mind the draft or trade threads alluding to this but we've had threads about Lavar Ball...Phil Jackson...all over the map....like I said.....sometimes posts don't need to be their own threads.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm okay with rooting for Lakers to fail. In fact, I think it's a bit shady not to.

    If Ball were on another team, I wouldn't be rooting for or against him. Unless he were on Portland, then I'd be rooting for him.

    The question can he beat NBA point guards off the dribble like he doing in the summer league to make those passes.

    The OT forum is for non NBA related stuff.

    I won't be surprised if they interview him at halftime.

    This is not the last time I'll call Ball an overrated scrub, but it is your last chance to jump off the hype train if you are on it... That's being generous, you should probably know by now how inconsistent this guy is.

    He's 18 bro. In today's media, I think ANY player you've heard of at a young age is overrated. He has Kidd like court vision. He will have a tough year, because he doesn't have much help on that roster, but he will be a damn good player. I think you hatred of all things Purple and Gold is blinding your common sense sir.

    On the contrary, I still think Randle has HOF potential that is not being utilized in LA. Likewise Ingram will be a solid player, and Clarkson is solid as well. Lonzos shot is so ugly it makes you wanna slap yo momma. He can pass, but he's hardly the play setter that an elite passing guard like CP3/Nash are. He's got a much longer road to "damn good" than you and most of the media seem to believe. I shit my pants laughing when I saw how many picked Lonzo to win ROY.

    Ya I don't think he'll win ROY for sure. But you say he has a long time til......shit he was playing against 14 year olds just 16 months ago.

    If it weren't for his father and probably the fact that he's from LA you wouldn't be saying this shit about him.

    Correct, in 18 years of his life he's developed a stroke that makes the Matrixes jumper look like MJ. So maybe by the time he's 36 he will actually have a shooting form that allows him to be consistent.
