Soo...what happens now if the Lakers can't draft Lonzo Ball?

[PastyStoole]

Both Lonzo Ball and his severe Aspergers dad said they'd rather the Lakers draft him later than have him join any other team with the first pick. That's not only got to give a GM heartburn and trepidation from the get go - like, what the hell happens when his rookie contract runs out and he bolts for L.A.? - but also he's not going to make any friends with the fans of whatever non-Laker crappy team happens to pick him. The guy will get murdered by the fans in New York if the Knicks pick him. And he's already got a target on his back as his father has been blathering about how Lonzo's already better than Jordan and how the NBA game will actually be easier than college ball.

Right now the Lakers have a 47% chance at a top three pick in the lottery. If they fall outside the top three, the Sixers get to steal their pick, (from the Steve Nash trade in 2012), in which case L.A. would fall all the way to 28th. No way Ball lasts that long.

Interesting egg-on-face scenario if it happens. Lavar, who is devoid of any self-awareness whatsoever won't notice a thing, but Lonzo is going to feel pretty damn uncomfortable if it does happen.

And then there's this douchebag:

With his dumbass dad he might.

The Lakers definitely aren't doing themselves any favors by winning these meaningless games at the end of the season. If they lose their pick, we'll see what kind of direction Magic and Rob Pelinka will take with the franchise. If they miss on drafting Ball, my hunch is that they're gonna trade a few of their young players to get Paul George. They may even do this if they draft Ball. I live in LA and many Laker fans out here would be very unhappy if they end up with Markelle Fultz or Josh Jackson instead of Lonzo Ball. The kid is gonna be a very good NBA point guard and I don't think his loudmouth Dad is gonna deter any team from drafting him.

He's got a weird low release on his J. You wonder how often he gets his shot blocked.

His release is actually pretty high ,it just starts on the opposite side. It looks kinda funky but its not too low.
