So when Liangelo ends up in China by 2020, will Lonzo go there too?

Trade Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, and the first rounder to the Spurs for Leonard.

No.

Yes, that's what it would take to get it done. If the Spurs were to trade with the Lakers.

They wouldn't do it for 2 of the 3 players and the 1st rounder.

China basketball isn't that bad, more likely he'll be relegated to a Country similar to where he and Melo played before papa pulled them out of there.

Would be worse than Kobe's contract. He signed for 2 years to get almost 50 million.

By then CP will be playing 25mpg and putting up 10-11ppg and 5apg. If that.

I'm saying I don't want that trade to happen. Although as a Lakers fan you better hope the Spurs are interested in Lonzo & his loudmouth father. Can't imagine many franchises wanna deal w/ that headache though.

Is there any chance Papa Ball could be deported to China? :hope:

I hear you.

I think Lonzo's upside is enough to take a gamble, he had a good season (but clearly he needs to improve his FG shooting and FT shooting) and I think Lonzo will be smart enough to go to his dad and say STFU or you're going to ruin my career.

I'm not sold on his upside yet. I need to see his sophomore season first. If he's smart he'll spend the majority of the off season working on his shooting touch. If I was a GM my main issue w/ Lonzo would be his FT shooting. Never a good idea for a team to have a PG that's a liability on the floor late in close games. But if he puts in the time there should be no reason he can't make some improvement.

You really think so? Because he hasn't given any indication that he's got the stones to do that.

If he gets traded after 1 season.....I think he'll start to see the light, especially if the new team bringing him in sits down with him and has a talk with him.

Especially part 2: If it's a smaller market team......and they don't want to deal with that type of distraction.

Not every small market team is ran the same. But whether a large or small market, no team wants distractions off the court that Lavar provides.

Again, by all intents and purposes, Lavar's got a strangle hold on his boys and determines every move that his kids makes. Hell, he pulled his middle kid that basically has no shot at the NBA from UCLA and may have ruined his future. Most kids would say let me be my own man and that this decision doesn't make sense.

I just cannot imagine a situation where Pop (a) gives into Kawhi Leonard's demands, (b) wants to deal with LaVarr Ball.

I think Pop would deal Kawhi for a lesser package to show that he and the Spurs cannot be manipulated and held hostage before giving Kawhi what he wants WHILE building a super team to compete against. Pop is how old? Does anyone think he really wants to be around for a lengthy rebuild and create another super team to compete against?

This. A rebuild is likely in the Spurs future. But if you trade Kawhi to the Lakers which opens the door for Lebron and PG; you're not talking about a 3-4 year window of Lakers dominancy. With George and Kawhi, that's a formidable duo that'll be around for 6-8 years. Also, I just don't see Pop wanting to help out the Lakers, despite if the Lakers could offer a good package.

Literally the most exciting time for me as a sports fan. When we won that game in OT, I knew game 7 was a wrap.

Back at it.....

LaVar Ball blames Lakers for Lonzo Ball's poor free-throw shooting

Lol. So all it would have taken is for the Lakers to tell him to hit his free throws and he would magically start making them?

It's way past time for the media to take away his microphone.
