LaVar Ball Claims Lonzo Ball Will Not Re-Sign With Lakers If LaMelo And LiAngelo Aren’t On Roster

When the Los Angeles Lakers selected Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick in the 2017 Draft, it was known that the team would have to deal with his father, LaVar Ball. There has already been issues with LaVar criticizing head coach Luke Walton, but he has been quiet recently.

At least some of that has to do with the fact that he has been with his other two sons, LiAngelo and LaMelo, in Lithuania where each plays professionally now. But as always seems to be the case, LaVar eventually makes his way into more headlines.

LaVar spoke to Lithuanian basketball journalist Donatas Urbonas and outlined his plan to have all three of his sons on the same NBA team, even saying that Lonzo would leave the Lakers for any team that would agree to have all three of his sons on the roster:

I want all three boys to play for the Lakers.
