The Lakers might not even take Lonzo, but LaVar Ball has a plan for his sons and it doesn’t matter if they are NBA ready or not.
On the future of his two younger sons, LiAngelo and LaMelo, the elder Ball said both will definitely only spend one season in college, and he will do whatever he can to reunite them with Lonzo in the NBA.
Multiple NBA executives said the 6-foot-5 LiAngelo, whose strength is shooting the ball, isn’t even on their draft boards.
“All my boys are gonna be one-and-done. Gelo [LiAngelo] is going be one-and-done whether he’s good or bad,” LaVar said. “I’m going to put him in the draft, hope they don’t take him. Bring him into the Lakers as a free agent, let him wind up with his brother and watch how good they play together.”
“I’m going to do the same thing with Melo,” LaVar said. “And we get three of the Ball boys on the Lakers together, and we gonna go championship, championship, championship, championship, championship. You think I’m playing. You saw what they did in high school.”
This scenario will likely not play out, but one can dream.
