LaVar is out of his goddamn mind on a level that is ultimately pointless but that I am unable to fathom.

Eh, there was a fairly significant chance that Liangelo was going to be out for the entire year and he is so marketable that he can just go right to playing in some pro league somewhere.

Yeah, LiAngelo was not going to stand out on that UCLA team, so if LiAngelo wants to make money playing basketball I think the strategy of not letting people see him play is a pretty good one. This gets him off that team with a thinly veiled "suspension was unfair" excuse and he can go play in Greece or Spain or even try to get a team to take him late in the 2nd next year to try and get some free media out of it.

Remember, people who literally did not exist have gotten drafted in the 2nd round.

I doubt LiAngelo goes and plays professionally somewhere. I expect that instead they will just focus on the reality show with a storyline of prepping for the draft, despite him probably not being an nba prospect.

Then he'll get a camp invite by Magic, and he'll have such good chemistry with Lonzo that a useful player gets cuts to make room for him

I'm torn if it'll be this, or the Grizzlies/PHX/someone runs him out in Summer League just for the hell of it.

I'm glad Kirkland actually got "suspended" too for his part. That was the strangest ejection I've ever seen.

I really wish Lonzo was better so his dad could eventually strong arm the Lakers to sign his other bad sons.

For the record, LaMelo is the best ball because he said the n-word during Monday night Raw.

Seems fair. Living stepped up to him and screamed in his face, the ref let it get to him and ended up stepping back at Shaun and basically initiated them going head-to-head

Is he even good enough to play in those leagues?

Seems like he'd be better off just transferring to a smaller school like UC-Davis and getting a degree.

If he is good enough to play D1 ball (which I guess we don't really know if he is), he can at least play in the German leagues.

"I'm not sitting back and waiting," LaVar Ball told ESPN. "He wasn't punished this bad in China."
"We get back over here and the consequences were even stiffer than China. So basically they're in jail here."

Seattle City Council passes the measure, 7-1. The Key is going to be redone.

This has been quite an odyssey. While the SoDo site is my preference, it's cheering to see them actually start building something. SCC approval was, at long last, the final hurdle. This is going to happen.
