LaVar Ball Wants Pelicans to Trade His Son Lonzo: ‘Can’t Stay’

The father of all sports dads is back at it again. In an interview with ESPN L.A., LaVar broke down how badly his son now wants out of New Orleans, as he told Mason & Ireland on ESPN LA 710:

“No! No, he can’t stay in New Orleans.

“Come on, man. Come on, listen. … Lonzo’s always been a playmaker. Why are you trying to change him into a defensive specialist that stays in the corner and shoots 3s? And you’re trying to change Zion and Brandon Ingram who, all through their careers, have never been playmakers. They’re scorers!

“Now you want to put the ball in their hands and be playmakers?! … Go score the ball and do what you do and guess what? They’re gonna have a hard time trying to win every game if the playmaker ain’t making the right plays.”

LaVar turned things up a notch:

“Oh, I don’t know what they’re gonna do,” he continued. I don’t know what they’re gonna do. I hope he be traded, though. Here’s the thing: I don’t like watching him play like that.”

What the hell is LaVar doing? Oh yea,  he’s doing him.
