I never argued Gelo was an NBA talent. I constantly criticized his game and said he needed a ton of work.
My comment is regarding LaVar saying in a recent interview that it doesn't matter if what scout say, Gelo will look good once he is playing along side his brother in the Lakers backcourt. Implying that he doesn't need to be drafted, the Lakers might sign him anyway.
I am just saying that if LaVar wants that favor, he needs to humble himself. I am not arguing Gelo belongs in the league or LaVar is gonna get him there.
So I don't know how I am giving credence to LaVar's comments. I call it a favor. Also the Lakers could sign his *** to the summer league team IF they wanted to throw the Balls a bone. And let him get exposed that way and be done with him

Him and Kevin Love were the EXACT same player in high school. Fight me.

It's hard to understand troll posts anymore so if you're not joking and you're serious...Kevin Love was top 3 in arguably the greatest high school class ever.

He is joking. He is mocking someone that said that earlier.

That's my point though. Lavar is going to have no bearing on whether or not Gelo gets a shot in the league. A better argument would be that Lonzo needs to reach the superstar level that that Lakers brass thinks he can, otherwise it's irrelevant because no one is signing the brother of a draft bust to appease the bust.
I was reading that Gelo shot 32% from 3 the other day.Bro...go back far enough in this thread...*****s were SERIOUSLY entertaining the thought.

People calling him a shooter based off HoopsMixtape and BallIsLife.

Gelo has more time to play with his snow bunny’s yambs since he won’t have to worry about going to classes. Win win for Gelo. Lavar should sign him up for the big 3.

I am not saying the favor is likely. LaVar running his mouth lower the chances of it happening under any scenario. I am not making a basketball argument, I am making a comment about how antagonizing someone makes them less likely to be charitable toward you.
Whether Zo is a superstar or bust is really irrelevant. I dunno how a simple comment really about LaVar needing to shut up morphed into me saying Gelo is an NBA talent (which I argued the exact opposite) or much pull LaVar has (which I never implied that he did), even about how much capital Zo's play will earn him with the franchise. I understand those things but that was not what the essence of my comment was about
Add even if, signing and undrafted, low talent, does not have a shot at the league player to a summer league contract is not a stretch. They will do that anyway.
LaVar wants a favor, a favor he needs to get through Zo, if he wants that favor to happen, no matter the scenario, him saying running his mouth makes it less likely. That is it
I don't even know what we are even debating be honest. You are bringing up all this stuff in regard to me just saying basically if you want a favor from some, shut your mouth with the shade

All I know is they got nicer floors than I got.
Also, I really hope he gets a shot. I feel bad because he may really think he’s nba level due to the promises being made. The level of disappointment

I am not just trusting Ruckus Whitlock's word
I am going to need some more sources backing it up.
It true though, Gelo is a massive piece of ****. Especially after he threw his teammates under the bus.

My whole point is that Lavar has no clout asking for favors from the most popular franchise in basketball and the small sliver of hope that this ever has of happening is based on Lonzo, not whether Lavar shuts up or not.

I never argued LaVar has the clout to get the favor though. He can definitely ask, through Zo, but it up to the Lakers to indulge them
I just said if he wants it, he should shut up.
That was a general comment about tact, not a basketball insight.
Like I said, I dunno what we are debating, or what you are trying school me on.

Lavar's taking a big gamble with Melo's future since he'll be ineligible to play college ball if he goes to play pro ball overseas

I think Melo will be straight as long as he keeps getting better. I don't think Lavar wanted him slave the NCAA, be a one and done. It might help his development playing pro overseas.

So Gelo supposed to be the one to look out while they're overseas? Oh boy.
