LaVar Ball, the father of Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball, made it clear on Fox's Skip and Shannon: Undisputed that he does not want his son to be traded and shared his opinion on why Los Angeles needs him.
"If [the Lakers] trade my son, it will be the worst thing you ever did," Ball said. "If they trade my son, they will never get a championship....LeBron James without Lonzo will not win a championship in L.A. I guarantee that."
This week, the Lakers have reportedly discussed a trade package with the Pelicans for star Anthony Davis and reportedly offered to include Lonzo, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Ivica Zubac and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the deal.
