corny that that's their reason but to keep it real...
- dude hadn't been on in months.
- lonzo don't fukk with bbb no more so that's kinda irrelevant.
- lonzo in NO now and not a star yet so he probably wasn't gonna be back on any time soon once the trade shyt died down.
ESPN only gave a fukk about him because he was in LA and his dad was willing to go say crazy shyt on TV, now he gonna need to become a star or lamelo gonna need to go to NY/LA and they'll bring him back on. that's why the wording is important, it's not like it says he's been permanently banned from ESPN. plus FS1 had him on like a week ago to do some stupid ass segment before lonzo even got traded, when ESPN wasn't using him. so he still got that.
