Los Angeles Lakers

Fix the LaVar Ball issue 

I’m not exactly sure if this is possible, but the Los Angeles Lakers need to figure out how to fix their LaVar Ball issue. No, I’m not saying they should find a way to quiet Ball. Nope. That’s not what I’m talking about.

They need to figure out a way to get Ball to stop talking about the Lakers in a negative light. If they can do that, LaVar talking wouldn’t be an issue.

I’m not sure if they need to get him on the payroll in order to keep him from talking about the team in a bad way, but they need to find a resolution.
