Lavar says he rather Celtics not pick is son.

[Ogaju]

LOL....

Perfect setup for when his son does not go #1.

[SHAQATTACK]

Feeling is mutual

[Ogaju]

I would rather Celtics not pick Lonzo Ball.

[hwangjini_1]

I am sure that ainge will be happy to oblige him. 

[GratefulCs]

ya, he should probably just shut up now

[RJ87]

People should probably read the article. It's not nearly as bad as OP made it sound.

"It’s not about me liking them or disliking [the Celtics],” Ball said. “It’s just, we’re West Coast guys. I’d love for him to stay on the West Coast where his brothers could see him all the time, most of the time. We’re a big family. That’s the only difference, but like I said, my son will play for any team on the fact that his goal was to make it to the NBA, so it doesn’t matter what team he plays for.”

Saw him on ESPN First Take, a few weeks ago. He is very West Coast vs East Coast. Kinda sad people still think like this.

what do you expect him to say? His son will not play for the Celtics? This is business, not College you do not get to choose, nor do you get to stay home so you can play where you want. He said he would rather the Celtics not pick his son. Yeah, that has to have the Celtics really giddy about taking his son. Spin on !!!

[Denis998]

I'd be on board for drafting Lonzo all just to spite Lavar. Having to see Lonzo rot away on the bench all season should really grind his gears.

[Rosco917]

For a while I was really high on Lonzo, but after see and hearing Lavar...I'll pass. We don't need to inherit a pain in the axx.

Honestly, I hope his son gets picked by Orlando. 

He also said Danny was a tough player..."for a white guy."

I guess he gets a pass on an ignorant racist statement like that, because well...

[KGs Knee]

I'd rather see his son not get picked by ANY NBA TEAM.

Let him go play in China.

lol. TP.

[manl_lui]

so now my question is, if Lonzo Ball is really the BPA, and we pick him, isn't he also a high risk of bouncing in FA when it comes up? He seems to be very motivated and influenced by his dad

[jyyzzoel]

I remember Kobe's dad told the nets and John Callipari that Kobe wouldn't play for them if the nets picked him. Callipari says its the worst mistake he made as a GM

[Somebody]

I wouldn't pick him with a top 4 pick (fingers crossed that the nets finish with the worst record)
