LaVar rips 'raggedy as hell' Pistons after team waives LiAngelo

LaVar Ball had some harsh words for the Detroit Pistons following the team's release of his son LiAngelo.

The elder Ball reacted to the roster move during a Bleacher Report AMA on Monday, calling the Pistons "raggedy as hell" for waiving LiAngelo.

"The people in Detroit are great. I love the fans, but the franchise over there is raggedy as hell," LaVar said. "They don't know a good player. I was giving them a lottery pick for free! Has the skills to play and the notoriety to bring everybody to the game. How do you throw that out the window?

"They're gonna learn the hard way. My boys are gonna end up together playing somewhere. 'Gelo can shoot the lights out. That was raggedy what they did. But hey, they're gonna learn the hard way."

LiAngelo signed a one-year, non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with Detroit earlier this month, but didn't play in either of the team's first two preseason games.

LiAngelo's younger brother, LaMelo, was selected No. 3 overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2020 NBA Draft while older brother Lonzo is in his second season with the New Orleans Pelicans.
