By successfully raising his sons to become talented basketball players, there is no doubt of LaVar’s love for the game. Along with that comes free opinions about the NBA. This time around, LaVar clearly expressed why the city of Portland might never be NBA champions any time soon. 

Ball blames the hefty contract prices of the Blazers’ guards, Lillard and CJ McCollum. Here is what he said on a recent podcast appearance on Say Less with Kaz. According to TalkBasket, Ball addressed the point when he spoke about his three sons potentially teaming up for the New York Knicks in the future. 

“Look at the Portland Trail Blazers. You got three hundred million tied in two guards. You ain’t never gonna win nothing,” LaVar said. “When you tie up all the money in two players it ain’t gonna happen like that.”

With Ball’s statement, there is however one significant fact. The contract amount of both these players is crazily high. The Blazers now lead the league in the amount spent on payroll for this season. As per Hoops Hype, the Blazers are currently shelling out a combined sum of $137,371,388 on their players. The highest-paid Blazers star is Damian Lillard who is just ahead of CJ McCollum.
