LaVar Ball Gives Update On Where He Wants LaMelo To Go
LaVar Ball has been one of the most vocal fathers in sports history, especially when it comes to where he wants his kids to play. Back in 2017, LaVar was extremely loud about Lonzo being drafted to the Lakers, which ended up happening albeit Lonzo only got to play a couple of years there before being traded in a package for the likes of Anthony Davis. Now, LaVar is trying to influence the future of his son LaMelo who will be drafted into the NBA on November 18th.
For months, it was believed that LaMelo would be an obvious top-five pick although recently, there were some concerns following his pre-draft interviews. Now, some people think he could be pushed outside of the top-five, which would give deeper teams in the draft some hope. LaVar seems to be well-aware of this reality as he recently told the Pascal Show that he wants LaMelo to go to either the Knicks or the Pistons.
The Pistons are set to draft seventh while the Knicks have the eighth overall pick. These are two teams that could use a player like LaMelo and if he falls in their laps, he will be the perfect value pick, should he live up to his potential.
As for Los Angeles, LaVar noted that he would only want his sons to play there after LeBron and Anthony Davis have left. In fact, LaVar even blamed Lonzo’s lack of Lakers success on former head coach Luke Walton.
Let us know which team you think is the best fit for LaMelo, in the comments below.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
