LaVar Ball Calls Rajon Rondo Lonzo's "Little Backup"

LaVar Ball isn't shy about saying anything. He recently spoke with CNN's Chris Cuomo who asked him a number of questions surrounding the Lakers' big free agency move landing LeBron James. LaVar, who predicted LeBron would join Los Angeles a while back relished in his prediction coming to fruition. He also gave his take on what the team needs to do in order to dethrone the Warriors.

But it was LaVar's comments about the Lakers other free agency move picking up point guard Rajon Rondo. When asked about Rondo joining the team LaVar said, "That don't mean nothing, [...] [Lonzo] Just got another teammate. Another teammate, that's all. A little backup, that's good."

The "little backup" has had many people speculating that LaVar is deflecting from the potential of his son coming off the bench or worse... getting traded. But others aren't putting much stock into the comment. What are your thoughts?
