Lonzo Ball is by no means a bad player. However, he seems to have no place in the Lakers future.

LeBron has dominated the ball, and this has reduced Ball's role to that of a catch and shoot player. Rajon Rondo's addition to the Lakers has also reduced the 21-year-old's game time, and there is even talk of the Lakers signing a new point guard in 2019.

Other teams will be interested in acquiring Ball, and the youngster has vastly improved his shooting since his first off-season. He simply doesn't fit in with the Lakers, and Magic Johnson should take the valuable assets that teams would trade for the 2017 number 2 draft pick.
