Their start is not as promising this season, as the team is currently in sixth place out of 10 in the Lithuanian Basketball League with a 4-9 record. **ESPN reported that the team is currently without a general manager, is having money struggles, and cannot practice with regularity because of it.**

Ooh, good choice.  
And now LaMelo is a pro and can’t play in college.

LaAngelo drove to class at UCLA in a Lambo. Although lacking in talent he lived like a legend. Now he plays lower level basketball in Lithuania. Lavar Ball is a genius.

The only good to come out of this is that Lavar will be in Lithuania and will not be able to create drama around the Lakers.
