Right not LaVar and Lonzo Ball are the kings of the Los Angeles sports scene, but if LeBron James decides to take his talents to California this summer that could all change.
ESPN did a survey of 48 NBA players asking them different questions about the landscape of the NBA. One of the questions on the survey was “Do you think the Ball family in L.A. is a deterrent for LeBron signing with the Lakers?”
About 89 percent of players who answered said no, while 11 percent said yes, the Ball family will be a deterrent to LeBron signing with the Lakers.

LaVar already told TMZ that LeBron James will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers this summer.
LaVar: “Who said it was a rumor? Didn’t I tell you he was coming here? Trust me when I tell you.
TMZ: “Do you think he’ll make Lonzo a better player?”
LaVar: “Lonzo will make him a better player.”
TMZ: “Do you think he’ll steal away from his star-power?”
LaVar: “Who? They’ve both got star-power, it’s good. Hey, two stars, what you call that? Ball stars.”
They both have star-power? LeBron James is already the biggest superstar in the league, and if he went to Los Angeles, this would be LeBron's team with Lonzo as just a sidekick maybe.
Wherever LeBron goes, he likes to call the shots, and before he goes to Los Angeles he would probably have that all setup.
When he came back to the Cavaliers he traded away Andrew Wiggins to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love. If he decides LaVar and his mouth are too much of a distraction for the Lakers he too could have Lonzo shipped out, and one his guys brought in.
