OT Lonzo Ball

[Mediocre Man]

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?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I would trade the pick and let someone else deal with the BS.

 

[ripcityboy]

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.

You. You're good.

Whoa is this a dead Jordan's father joke?

Too soon?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Draft him and then make sure Lavar's tickets are right next to papa Nurkic. Problems solved.

 

[illmatic99]

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.

You really want Jusef having to skip practice to see his pop in prison?

How is this funny? Such poor taste.

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.

And no more Lavar Ball ... Like i said "problem solved."

 

[julius]

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.

We have Dame and CJ. Rather have Josh Jackson at the SF spot.

Ball<Fultz...... because of baggage.

 

[speeds]

I think once Lonzo is in the league Superdad will be more invested in getting the other kids in than hovering around Lonzo.

 

[Schilly]

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.

Lighten up, Francis. That was a great joke. Or be a little bitch and report it, like mine was

Some people don't have a sense of humor and are just stuffy. Move on.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Just draft the Kansas dude, and plug him into our starting lineup at the SF.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I really wish the media would stop giving the dipshit dad all the attention he craves.

I would love that, but we need to figure out how to trade up.

The pretext for the thread is that we got a top 3 pick. So, ignore the PGs, and take the SF, who's been amazing in the two Kansas NCAA tourney games I've watched.

Not sure what you're getting at? I didn't report a thing.

It was meant for anyone that does. Except me. Ive started doing it since my joke got reported. People need to stop being being so pc

@BonesJones and I have been all over Josh Jackson for months now. I really believe he could be the missing piece for us for the long term and would solidify everything else we need... as long as the rest continue to improv...(Vonleh)
