Russell was never going to stay after the nick young incident

So was Marv Marinovich.
And if I had any confidence that LaVar gave one **** about Lonzo apart from being able to bask in Lonzo's accomplishments, maybe I'd buy this argument more. But LaVar ball is a me-first jackass who uses his children to further himself; little else.
And nothing is more funny to read than "Lonzo needs to 'tweak' his shot'. Shaquille O'Neal needed to 'tweak' his free throw technique. Lonzo needs to 'tweak' his shot in the same way that Charles Barkley needs to tweak his golf swing. Literally every single thing about his shot needs to be re-made. He doesn't gather correctly, his balance is bad, he doesn't keep his hand under the shot, he doesn't finish worth a shit. He looks like a middle schooler out there; it's incredibly bad and there's no spot on it that can be 'tweaked' without the whole thing being re-made from the ground up.
He airballed an open look from straight away last night. He missed badly enough on two others that he went glass before he drew rim (and no, there's no way it was by design). He's not just a tweak away - he's lucky to draw iron on some of these.
You can't keep sending him out there to die. It isn't going to just fix itself if he keeps slinging balls at the rim.
