I can't see Ball, Ball Sr and Pop coexisting longer than 10 minutesWith the latest rumors stating that Leonard has openly lobbied for a move to LA, and the fact that Lonzo Ball is supposedly a “staple” in any trade talks, the possibility of him going to the Lakers becomes much higher. I could definitely see that and it’s looking like a strong possibility at this point, but to pair him with Ball? I could never see it.
I'm waiting to Ball Sr. blow up on draft night when middle son ISN'T drafted........I can't see Ball, Ball Sr and Pop coexisting longer than 10 minutes
Kim Jong-un would probably love to have an NBA team. Apparently he was obsessed with basketball as a kid.
As long as it isn't us, I'll be happy.

and if the Lakers sign him as a FA, it will tell you who is in charge over there and it won't be Magic or Pelinka.. Get your popcorn ready.....
Oh I think magic would hand Lebron the keys and say let me know if you need anything from me, and make sure to turn the lights out in office.Agree. I really don't see LBJ going to LA.
I think Magic would give him space to operate...but to a certain point
It's sad too because you know all these people will change their tune if he signs with us and the whole basketball world revolves around the Celtics again and we know all year we are heading to the Finals.Yeah, who needs the best player in basketball?
You might be right. Magic just wants to win. He doesn't care how or who gets him there.Oh I think magic would hand Lebron the keys and say let me know if you need anything from me, and make sure to turn the lights out in office.
Magic is way, way over his head and sure he wants to win but has no clue how to as an execYou might be right. Magic just wants to win. He doesn't care how or who gets him there.
Pelinka is the brains. Magic is the vision and drive. Magic should have brought back Jerry West in some capacity. Everywhere he goes he has the Midas touch.Magic is way, way over his head and sure he wants to win but has no clue how to as an exec
Pretty sure he knows it too
Absolutely ... and Ball will look for every angle to profit from it all.I can't see Ball, Ball Sr and Pop coexisting longer than 10 minutes
It's amazing how the hoop shoe industry became a billion dollar industry.Absolutely ... and Ball will look for every angle to profit from it all.
Lebron may be a DB but I think he's smart enough to tell the Lakers ... no balla family.
I still think Lebron going to the Lakers is a win for the NBA.
My kid is a huge shoe collector and those sneakers factor in to the NBA's popularity.
There are the Jordan's, Lebrons, KD's, Kyries and other collabs factoring in.
Young kids watching the NBA to see what shoes the players are wearing ... it's a big deal.
If Lebron goes to the Lakers he will not want Levar hawking his BBB sneakers with his kid a Laker.

Bought these for my kid last month ... Kevin McHale Fast Break Hi 'No Easy Buckets'It's amazing how the hoop shoe industry became a billion dollar industry.
Back in the 80s I wore Reebok because Danny Ainge wore them and the Converse Bird shoe was too clunky.
The Dee Brown "pump" shoe was actually very comfortable.
I wear Adidas now. Extra gel and shock support designed for old feet
Those are awesome.Bought these for my kid last month ... Kevin McHale Fast Break Hi 'No Easy Buckets'
Pop would put Ball Sr. in his place real quick.I can't see Ball, Ball Sr and Pop coexisting longer than 10 minutes
It's the Lakers fans worst nightmare to have another Ball son on the team. Lonzo is already on a short leash.I'm waiting to Ball Sr. blow up on draft night when middle son ISN'T drafted........

Unfortunately like Andy Johnson said, Magic would probably let LeBron run the team. The Lakers are getting really desperate and it's been that way for years. As a LA native and long time Lakers fan, LeBron or insert big name player to LA has been the subject of local sports talk for years. And they've missed out on every one. It's getting insane.Agree. I really don't see LBJ going to LA.

The Ball family, more like Lavar Ball, has been an embarrassment for the Lakers. He's making the Lakers look like even more of a joke. Magic, Pelinka and Jeanie Buss have been doing a good job trying their best to make the Lakers competitive after Jim Buss was running the team into the ground with his poor decisions and he didn't care. I could definitely see LeBron tell the Lakers he'll sign but Ball goes.Absolutely ... and Ball will look for every angle to profit from it all.

I'll have to disagree with you on that. Him, Pelinka and Jeanie Buss have done a pretty good job getting the Lakers back on track after Jim Buss ran the team into the ground. Magic has also played a big role getting the Dodgers good again.Magic is way, way over his head and sure he wants to win but has no clue how to as an exec

Jerry West was good but it was more Jerry Buss than West. Players loved Buss and he was the one that always sealed the deal for big name players to come to LA. He was the closer. The reason Shaq decided to come to LA was because Buss personally called him late at night and offered him a contract he couldn't refuse. Jerry was a baller!Pelinka is the brains. Magic is the vision and drive. Magic should have brought back Jerry West in some capacity. Everywhere he goes he has the Midas touch.
Like you I'm skeptical Magic can get it done. I think he's very intelligent but he's no Danny.
