The Lakers didn't change anything, they're enforcing something that existed already. The media is going to interview Lavar regardless, it's just not happening at games in a certain area, at a certain time. None of this has anything to do with my opinion or what I think. That's why my argument has always been based on facts and what the team has publicly stated. It's also why I keep asking people to tell me what these effects are and have yet to get an actual answer.
Well if you want to define effect as disciplinary action or loss of employment, then there is no effect. But it isn't that black and white.

Effect can be anything. If someone could prove to me that Lavar's comments are having a tangible effect on Lonzo then I would be the first to say I'm wrong. But its all been speculation or generalities. All of that aside, my biggest point since before Lonzo got drafted was that Lavar is utterly unimportant and shouldn't be getting the attention he gets. Pulling his other two sons out of school will have actual effects on them. That's tangible. Running his mouth to ESPN and saying outlandish stuff just creates more threads on the coli and topics for sports radio.

Lavar is a clown along with those who think he's even remotely funny:camby:

Whatever happened to those LLL Z02s anyway?

It's hard to prove anything. There is no way of knowing how much of his struggles are because of the distraction his dad causes. And when he's up for having the Lakers decide whether to pick up his option, extend him, negotiate with him, etc, there is no way of quantifying what effect his dad has on that. But no NBA team would welcome what LaVar is doing and I'm sure some teams would avoid Lonzo completely unless he turns into a legit superstar. We have seen guys get black balled for much less.
