OT Lonzo Ball

[BrianFromWA]

The funny part is, he probably will be their agents, and they will probably lose money because of it.

Because, any good agent would probably be like "yeah, sign with Nike, you'll make X amount of money."

But with their dad, they're gonna stick with his shit brand. And they're not gonna make shit.

I heard him talking about his vision for the BBB. It's stupid. He thinks he's creating the next Jordan brand. No one in the league has their own brand lol. He's a moron.

 

[Scalma]

Let's say Lonzo, becomes as good as Jason Kidd (not likely, in my mind).

Would people really go around buying his brand?

Especially with the idiot dad involved.

Lonzo is gonna be known for a few things, a troll for a dad, wearing his own brand, and the ugliest shot in he NBA. He better hope he's better than curry.

No, because "big baller brand" sounds stupid as hell and obviously don't have that be the name of your brand.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'm proud of us. 60+ posts before:
"He was good when I thought he was white and played at UCLA in a white t-shirt. Then I saw his dad, and realized I was thinking of Alford. F*** that."

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Shaq had his own brand for a bit too. Last time i saw his shoes were at walmart.

 

[Nate]

Good point. He had a niche though; he was making $30 shoes that any kids parents could afford, and he was a really nice guy. And when his play started to fall off, sales stopped.

Lavar is a disrespectful, dumb, troll. And he's trying to sell 60 dollar t-shirts.

And Stephon isn't in the league.

Super original logo too lol. "BBB"

The problems LaVar Ball cause to his kid’s teams go beyond over-hyping his kids. Before, during and after games, LaVar will try to coach his sons, as well as other players on the team. He disrupts the systems the coaches put into place.

Here is a LaVar Ball quote.
“I run Chino Hills! I run UCLA, about to run the NBA!”

Is that a real quote? I can't tell.

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?

Is this your butterfly like transition from the 'this team sucks and won't make the playoffs' style of rhetoric, or did that happen in another post?

 

[H.C.]

I have others in the draft that I'd rather have than Ball.
So many 3/4's in this draft. Ideally though I package those 2 or 3 of those picks for Butler.
CJ/Lillard/Butler/x/Nurk is a darkhorse contender.

So that's why MM how he did in the Stotts thread I made.
I didn't report your post.

This team isnt winning shit, so whats the point? It's just more likely than not that they make the playoffs

Taken from a USA Today article.

This is the paragraph, about 1/4 down the page. But I would encourage everyone to read the entire article.

“An assistant coach comes up to me and tells me that he sees LaVar rallying the team up,” Gilling said. “I guess he got them out of their rooms on the 18th floor and tells the team that it was his system that won. That we’re doing what he says. ‘I run Chino Hills! I run UCLA, about to run the NBA!’

Here is a link to the story in USA Today, but the quote and story has appeared in several papers.

I was kind of thinking the opposite. Per that website you could get
17: Hartenstein or Patton, or Rabb a
22 TJ Leaf
27 Motley, Swanigan, Bam Adebayo,

I can't believe how deep the 2nd round is. Maybe we should trade Cleveland's for multiple 2nds. Trier, Bell, Josh Hart, Frank Mason Brooks. etc etc etc Lot of Euros too.

Hartenstein, Lead and Adebayo were all mentioned as potential lottery picks no more than 6 weeks ago. For a team looking for a power forward you could not ask for a better draft than this. While top 10 and lottery in general will be packed with backcourt players we don't need, some power forward gems will drop to 15-25 range where we will be drafting. At least 1-2 of them will turn into something very good.

You keep him and see if you can pry:

*Porzingis
*Booker

If not, try him at point forward.

 

[riverman]

Stephie Graff did just fine with a whacko dad who was banned from tennis matches....personally I think Ball is going to look less impressive in the NBA....he's built like Will Barton

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Let's come up with other shoe company names that are the same letters.

AAA Asshat Apparel Association
CCC Crazy Crackhead Crap
DDD Dumb Douche Dresses
EEE Everyone's Everyday Elegance

Nevermind, this is boring and I don't have anything for K.

Lavar's middle son (LiAngelo) has no chance of making the NBA. I wanna see what happens with Lavar when LiAngelo isn't getting much playing time at UCLA next year because he's not good.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Is that a real quote? I can't tell.

We need to play "Did LaVar actually say it?" Lol

But Ball is better than LeBron and Jordan.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Put Lonzo Ball and John Wall on the same team.

This settles it. End of story.

This settles it. End of story.

Hopefully the end of Lavar Ball. Stop giving this dipshit attention

Stephen A Smith likes looking sane in comparison.

It's funny cause he's the only one with a normal looking shot lol.

...guaranteed all we hear about the next few days is how "injured" Lonzo was -- for some coincidental reason his losers limp kept getting worse and worse as the final few minutes started to tick away -- he is good, but what's his ceiling? seems more like a poorman's Grant Hill / Nic Batum than anything else!

I dunno, the guy just doesn't impress me as much as he does everyone else. I'd still take Dennis Smith as the PG of this draft.
