re: Sounds like Lavar has changed his tune on the Pels

I love his ‘NOLA = No LA’ take.

I hope he’s learned from past mistakes and becomes a quirky guy who says bombastic things and comes across like someone with no filter as opposed to (having the earned perception) that he’s a jackass and a distraction.

His personality could be a positive if he’s reigned in and taught basic PR 101 level stuff. If so, he could help keep the media spotlight on the Pels without being and distraction to Lonzo or the team.

NOLA may actually be a pretty good fit for him. Unless and until he trashed NOLA and/or the Pels, I could totally see his personality being embraced and possibly even used as an advantage as sort of an unofficial, de facto spokesperson... The guy you send to do interviews when you want to convey a message that would be imprudent for anyone officially connected to the organization to say publicly (the things you want to say but can’t for obvious reasons).

Of course, all of this hinges on his ability to restrain himself when he wants to say anything we don’t want him saying.
