    putting your jersey in the rafters of the team that's trying to trade you lol?

    Kind of presumptive to call yourself a hall of famer when you can't even stay on the court.

    Maybe he is learning from Lebron yikes.

    I hope we keep Lonzo and Ingram.
    Lonzo, Ingram, Lebron, AD, Randle moving forward.
    That's a team I could root for.

    I like what's you've done there, but I'd trade Lebron for the AD and Randle, and then sign Kawhi instead.

    Pretty wild, I hope they do join Nike or some quality company.

    Just saw this too, wow...



    Get some high top shoes, wrap those ankles tight, get to work this summer and get ready for next season. I don’t want Zo going anywhere, especially if Lavar is out of the picture.

    Wow. Thats big if true.

    Not easy to step away from something your dad built, same dad whose been supporting you throw the ranks. But that same dad is also a little detrimental to you.

    Hope this is a little turning point for him. Get healthy, get mindset right and spend the summer getting better.

    Think it's a big deal for him, growing up as a young man. Will altering your social media profile ---> translate to better basketball? I'm rooting for him, but I figure next year is ZO's last opportunity to impress the Lakers. Maybe this BBB fiasco will light a fire under him.

    Pops was causing way too many problems. Time to cut the business side from him. BBB is exactly that BBBull(bleep). Get yourself right, get healthy and come out next year running and gunning. I hope Magic doesnt mess this up and gets him a coach that has a legit offense he can run.

    Zo could have signed a big endorsement deal prior to entering the NBA.

    Now that Nike and Co. have seen him on the floor, he is not going to make even half of what he could have made. His dad cost him dearly.

    I think Lonzo’s trade value went up if he cut ties with BBB and Lavar lol.

    On a different topic, Who do you all think will be a better player in 3 seasons.... Trae Young or Lonzo?

    Depends, Lonzo is already a better defender than Young will ever be, but Young is a better offensive player.

    Great question.

    I think Young will be a 25 PPG guy in three seasons, and he's already averaging 8 assists. He'll be elite on offense, as I think the shooting %s will continue to climb. I think Young is also dead last in defensive metrics, so he has a LONG way to go there.

    Ball should improve steadily over the next two years. Controversial view: his defense isn't as good as some metrics show it, but he's good on defense. He's at least above average at everything basketball-related except shooting. If Ricky Rubio could rack up 32 win shares and $70m in contracts without any defense, I don't see Ball doing less than that.

    If 1.5 million went missing, I might be pissed at my dad too. Especially if he tried to smooth it over and act like it wasn’t a big deal. If you aren’t all about fixing it, you’re out. I'm talking about prosecuting his friend, period. No discussion on the topic. Fix it.

    Just try selling overpriced BBB water now lol

    Imagine living in that family.
    GELO could still be at UCLA
    The youngest could be a multiple time state champion instead of playing in Siberia or a made up league.
    Lonzo would have endorsements and lack of embarrassment being associated with Lavar

    Lavar’s 10 minutes are up. There is a God!

    LBJ also liked this post. HIm and Kobe got him that Nike contract QUICK!

    Hope Zo's relationship with his family is okay from all of this.

    I think his relationship with his Mom and his brothers is fine.

    With his Dad? We'll see. Good to see him step up and take some action though. This needed to happen.

    I wouldn't wear that trash if it were 0% off.
