The Big Baller Brand's LaVar Ball is making a big proclamation.
Despite all of the roster changes the Cleveland Cavaliers recently underwent in an attempt to turn their season around and possibly sway LeBron James to re-sign, LaVar remains in the mindset that the four-time league Most Valuable Player will ultimately end up playing with Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers next season.
"Who said it was a rumor? Didn't I tell you he was coming in? Trust me when I tell you," LaVar said to TMZ Sports upon entering his pop-up shop in Los Angeles.
LaVar even feels a player with James' credentials and ability will benefit from suiting up next to someone like his son.
"Lonzo will make him a better player," he added.
Should they join forces, LaVar already has a nickname worked out for a potential LeBron-Lonzo pairing: "Ball Stars."
The Cavaliers shipped Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye to Los Angeles prior to the trade deadline, which will clear an added $13.6 million in cap space for the Lakers this summer. This means the organization can potentially sign two max-contract free agents, and that could entice James to ultimately make the jump to the Western Conference.
Lonzo, meanwhile, has been sidelined with a sprained MCL in his left knee since Jan. 15. He's averaging 10.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists on 35.6 percent shooting from the field his rookie year.
