Lakers had meeting with LaVar asking him to tone down his public criticisms of Luke Walton
LaVar Ball: It may sound crazy to other people, but I really just want the best for Lonzo
The Los Angeles Lakers had a private meeting with LaVar Ball, as reported by ESPN.
LaVar has coach Luke Walton this season more than one time and the Lakers asked him to tone down his criticism to help create a more positive atmosphere around his son.
Per ESPN, “LaVar Ball confirmed the meeting took place, telling ESPN, "It was the best thing, man. Everybody's going to try to make it an ego thing, like I'm trying to tell them what to do or they're trying to tell me to tone it down. It's not about that. It's about coming together and to get a solution to this problem.
"It may sound crazy to other people, but I really just want the best for Lonzo, and the best for Lonzo is going to be what's best for the organization. Because if everybody winning, we good."
"I'm going to say whatever I want to say, however I want to say it," Ball said. "And they said, 'LaVar, come and talk to us first.' So that's fine too.
"But I am going to say, to plant a seed, 'Let's look for this now.' They may not want to hear that, but it's going to be successful if you listen to what I'm saying on that fact that I know what it takes for my son to run like this."
