Haha Sketchers obviously has nothing to do with it.

Only link is they both ripped off Boost, and Sketchers got their pants sued off for it.

Mother of god. I don't think that kid LaMelo could have played any worse. He looked like he didn't even belong on the same court as them, let alone having a full scholarship to play at UCLA. That was realllllllly brutal to watch, and I watched all the way to the end. His team literally looks like it was put together at some awful rec center too I know Lavar didn't wanna put him on a loaded team and all but damn he's gotta do better than that.

That #1 on Compton Magic reminds me of an old school tough East Coast guard.

Must be a Ware.

They had absolutely no rim protection.

Wonder where they're getting that info from, all other sources said they all turned him down, but that was in regards to him wanting them to form a partnership w/ BBB.

 

[rfx45]

it could be the initial offer before Lavaar countered with a partnership?

I call BS on that tweet, if it were true other spots would be talking about it. They love talking about Lavar right now.

Other spots are reporting it too

 

[earldagoat]

Believe it came from Darren Rovell talking about it on the Dan Patrick show.

 

[tankdayglo]

Yeah I'm still not buying it haha

 

[earldagoat]

 
Yeah I'm still not buying it haha

After listening to it, it does sound more speculative than anything.

 

[rfx45]

to be fair, there is an incentive for players to play in bigger markets and with many already believing that Lonzo was as good as a Laker, I wouldn't be surprised if the offer is bigger than usual

 

[wuchi01]

Fyi-Last year 76ers number one Ben Simmons' Nike deal was reportedly 5 years, guaranteed $20 million plus incentives to go way high:

Have no doubt Big Bald Butthead left eight digits on table.
Good luck recouping that opportunity cost.
Imagine the Lakers negotiations. HA!

 

[tankdayglo]

It sounds more like they were prepared to offer it as opposed to them actually offering and him turning it down.

This man is coaching in some damn white Big Baller Brand flip flops

Not to mention, no one who knows anything about basketball would ever call that "coaching."

I'm going to throw up when this kid ends up on the Lakers. I keep dreaming of a scenario where LA trades the pick lol. 

 

[goledensilence]

I see that a couple of his hats have the sold out sticker next to them. One being the $100 leather joint.

Glad to see him add some grey jogging shorts to the site.

you don't have to dream; the Lakers aren't picking him.

@ the Lakers aren't picking him.

Some of the hoodies and t shirts I seen Lonzo wearing look nice. I think they have a better chance of being successful at selling clothes.
Shoes, not so much...
