I would think they already have one. With the rapid flow of information today, though, you can't start discussing possible Ball trades with other teams until you're ready to do it, because those discussions will leak out.

LaVar Ball is as bad as some of the terrible helicopter parents of pro tennis players. But pro tennis is an individual sport, and pro basketball is not.

My impression is the Lakers generally ignore LaVar, and that's the right thing to do. He's basically a Kardashian and should be treated as such.

Yup. LaVar is a wannabe Kris Jenner.

This is not the right time in the NBA for point guards who can't score.

That is true. But given Lonzo's other skills, it's worth waiting a couple of years to see if he becomes more consistent offensively. Jason Kidd couldn't shoot as an NBA rookie, either, and he's going to be elected to the Hall of Fame this year.
