LaVar: Sons playing on same NBA team is 'gonna happen'
LaVar Ball believes it's only a matter of time before his sons are playing on an NBA team together.
Ball was a guest on Kevin Durant's "The ETCs" podcast and told the Brooklyn Nets star that his three sons - New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball, Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball, and free agent LiAngelo Ball - would be willing to take less money to play on the same team.
"After everybody's contract is over, they can all decide to go where they want. So, that's what I mean by they gonna be like, 'Yeah, I'll take less money or whatever. I just wanna play with my brothers,'" Ball said. "That's gonna happen. Hopefully sooner than later, but it's gonna happen."
Lonzo will become a restricted free agent in 2021, while LaMelo is under contract with the Hornets for the next four years. LiAngelo signed a one-year, non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal with the Detroit Pistons earlier this month, but was released following the team's second preseason game.
