- LaMelo Ball just signed a 5 year supermax contract that sets his family up for generations. He’s also becoming an irrelevant young player in the NBA. This video looks at what’s gone wrong for Ball and how his team ranks among other up-and-coming squads in the league.

![LaMelo Ball owes EVERYTHING to Lonzo [Legit Proof!!]](/img/n.gif)
Yo! In ranking the Grizzlies no. 1 in this video I forgot to mention JJJ. Obviously an airhead error on my part. Thanks to @javienbennett96 for originally calling me out on this.
Do better next time bro. And no offense but cut the comedy shtick.
He’s right. Ur better than this
Man I would love to see you working in espn as commentary
Man .. wtf are you talking about ! Edwards passed Lamelo because of his team ? I would pick Edwards over Lamelo any day all day ! Lamelo is a flashy player who is a TO machine when it matters most. Edwards is one of the most mature young players ive seen let alone he elevates his team on offense and defense. Lamelo cant defend for shit ! Leadership, shoot %, FT, 3pt, power, athleticism, mid range, drive, jumping, defending, clutch ! Lamelo who ?
Saying “ all star caliber Desmond bane “ and not even mentioning the literal all star Jaren Jackson is insane lol
He also claimed that Lauri Markkenen isn't a star. Didn't mention Ivey or Duren. And he didn't even mention that the Spurs actually have some good pieces besides Wemby.
@@bignoob24nah fr tho. Ive checked out a few of bros videos and some of his takes and statements are questionable lmao.
dude is more dramatic than he is diligent at times
JJJ got exposed in FIBA
Green is no better the Alperen Segun
I hope Lamello doesn't get hurt this season. He's a good young player and you hate to see him have a career like his brother.

Ya I'm a wolves fan and lamello is amazin'
@@billywilson1368 im a lakers fan and even I admit he has talent
Even if he doesn’t, they aren’t making the playoffs
Which one? GELO? 🤣
The jazz at 10 is so bad. I know everyone likes to trash on the jazz but they have such a good culture and Lauri and Walker Kessler are such a strong, young duo. They just need a 3rd great player and they have plenty of picks to trade for one.
You think that’s bad he didn’t even rank the twolves ant is 22 and so is jaden McDaniels and naz Reid. That’s the future of the twolves all super young and he didn’t even rank them. This guy sucks
Both aren't really stars that can lead a team to a championship, not exactly long-term all star caliber players either
You think you’re winning with those 2 as your best players? Ehh
@@ry_an.Celtics best are JT and JB and JB ain’t even as good as Lauri 😂
@@connorclinton7650lauri is a great allstar whos 26!
Walker is a fuckin rookie thats a defensive menace.
Yall commenters are wild
people forget how good lamelo ball is
becaused he missed 1/3 of his games.
cade Cunninghams better
Can’t remember if he doesn’t play
well yeah, he's never fucking healthy
This. He is a special talent and deserves his rookie of the year.
I personally don’t consider the knicks a “young team” their 2 best players are in their late 20’s.
Yeah the Knicks are young, but not carried by youth like these other teams. Brunson is 26 and Randle is 29. RJ, Quickley, Grimes, and Robinson all bring their age down considerably, and only imo RJ has star potential of that group. The rest are very good players but not gamechangers in all likelihood
LaMelo won't stay in Charlotte for too long. When that contract is up, he's gone. He's just bidding his time. He's loyal, so he won't bail until his time with them is up.
I just want to say: GREAT CONTENT MAN! For me this is the best basketball channel and reporter in youtube! Accurate information, no "clickbates" and out of this world conclusions and opinions. The "story" videos are also amazing and I love them!
Way back when Melo has all the Hype (which he deservingly so) ,winning ROY and having been a first time all star. It was clear as day to me that Ant has the higher ceiling.
It always amazes me how the Hornets announcer is able to channel so much excitement for such an unfortunate franchise. I’ll watch their games just for him lol
Fr
Dell Curry is the goat of announcers
Amazing grind love the vids Keep it up
Killing these recent videos keep up the great work🤘🏽
People are really forgetting how good lamelo really is when hes healthy and how much better he makes the hornets when hes on the floor if he stays healthy this year i think hornets are a playoff team especially eith bridges coming back with miller and mark williams
This one is a miss Casey... you are taking too many little distractions and saying its a huge problem. This same team went 43-39 without injuries in 2021 and have the tools to be better than half these teams
33-39
I find it crazy you think they will leapfrog half the league just because Lamelo returns and Miles Bridge returns.
Theyre gonna continue to suck relative to the conference - But its fine because they will maintain their pick in doing so and continue building the team.
Fax
They’ve still missed the playoffs every season with Lamelo getting blown by 25 in the play in
They lost most of the players that made the team win 43 games like Kelly Oubre, but they can still do some moves since Gordon Hayward is on the last season of his contract and they can trade with a contender.
But they still have the Melo and Bridges duo and with Oubre gone those minutes goes to their new Rookie who fits with well if they can resolve the center position going forward they might be a play in team.
“Pacers will be mediocre the next 5 years”. I’m keeping the receipts for this one Casey. I think you are underestimating the moves they made this offseason.
Fr
Unrelated man but I miss the 9 AM uploads. AM hoops, not PM. 😂😂
Anyway, love the videos. Keep it up dude.
lebron should’ve been on the list for the players wasting his prime on bad teams… his early cavs days were just lebron and lebron. he singlehandedly made them relevant. proved that by leaving and them winning 16 games
That move to the Heat saved him from the list. Spend his prime in Miami and returned as more complete player to a Cleveland team with better support.
He's been Ring Chasing since he was 24!! Wtf are you even talking about. He can't do shit without a Superteam around him. So stfu
@@lirror4910 and brought the pity city a championship
Cleveland not being one of the best young teams is insane.
I'm not sure what you mean by ¨young team¨ but if we're talking about potential I think the Spurs, Thunder and Magic are the clear top 3.
Yeah it’s hard to tell when Casey means “young” whether he means rebuilding or just purely how old the average age of the team is, cause the Grizzlies and Knicks are still in an entirely different tier than teams like OKC, Orlando, and San Antonio. They’re bona fide playoff teams, even championship contenders if things go very right, those other ones may get there, but not even close to it in this season
@MrRapmaster19 After watching this video I can tell that this guy is a clown whose trying too hard at being funny
Rockets?
@@ryanboehm8487 Rockets have good young talent and are probably top 5 but the Spurs, Thunder and Magic all have better young cores than them.
bruh 2 minutes in and y’all already commenting “good vid”… you haven’t even watched it yet
lol but you’re not supposed to just do it blindly after watching 10% of the content…
Well I guess that guy shamefully deleted his comment but I’m sticking with mine
Either they are comment bots or just random users that begs for likes lol
They just want likes
So what
Good comment bro (I don’t know how to read)
He is only irrelevant compared to Ant because he hasn’t been healthy. Not because of lack of talent. A full year of healthy Lamelo would be something special. I would argue he is one of the most gifted passers in the entire NBA.
Yeah. The difference between the respective in appreciation of Ant and LaMelo sure as hell isn't because of Wolves' super awesome playoff runs like it was claimed over the video. 😂
@@konzzalol ant avg 32 in the playoffs against the nuggets, that itself is a super great playoff run of a young star. They got beaten by a team who never lost 2 games in a series besides against a superteam which had kd booker chris paul and ayton. Casual.😊
@@kuhieyei3855 Huh? So are in fact claiming that the playoff series is the only separating point comparing Ant and LaMelo?
You missed the point entirely, or you really must love LaMelo
@@konzza lol stfu, learn how to read before you reply to me. Those same “playoff runs” you are downplaying are what separates all time legends to all time good players. Jordan getting swept in the first rounds are his number 1 enemy when comparing to lebron, so honestly learn how to read lol. Never said its the only thing sepersting them, u imagining things
The hornets had one of the worst injury riddled seasons in recent memory, they’ll be good this upcoming season. I do agree Ant has surpassed Lamelo, but as long as Lamelo can stay healthy he’ll catch up
Thats what they've been saying since the Kemba days lmao
Fax
I don't believe Ant has surpassed Melo but his stocks went up especially after the USA performance, I still prefer Melo vision and playmaking and if he gets a better shot selection he is right there with ant and Haliburton.
Lamelo and Bridges is s better duo than whoever Kemba had with him
@@funckypickle77kemba in no way shape or form is comparable to LaMelo lmao two different players and situations
Yooo Casey W video as usual
I usually agree most of your takes hut not this team had so many injuries last season but it looks like a solid roster well I don't agree with Miles Bridges personal life he is good player who had a great connection with ball not to mention there are vets like Terry rozier who has shown he can go off and when he's Gordon Hayward aint bad if this team stays healthy they should push for a playoff spot this season
The Hornets breakdown is lazy. LaMelo stepped on two ankles last season. Nobody survives that, remember Kyrie stepping GA in the playoffs?
Having Bridges back, second best Hornet back on the floor means the coach has options. Now Hayward can swing back to the second unit. Adding Miller gives the Hornets an oversized 2 when they need buckets and spacing.
This team will likely surprise.
I completely forgot Ant and lamelo were from the same draft. Ant is levels ahead of Lamelo
Here’s the sad truth of what will happen with LaMelo and I been saying it for 2 years now. He’ll do what countless NBA stars have done to ruin their careers, and sign a supermax with the Hornets (thinking he can force his way out to a contender whenever he pleases) and then he’ll waste his best years putting up empty stats in the regular season, sustain a serious injury or two, and when he’s close to 30 and declining, he’ll demand a trade and be traded from one bad franchise to another bad franchise for assets (like what’s about to happen with Lillard)
This is exactly why the Supermax contract needs to go, otherwise bad franchises will keep manipulating young naive players to sign them, essentially ruining their own legacy so a losing team can increase their fan fare. (And if you still doubt me, I wrote this comment before I got to the part of the video where he said LaMelo already signed the supermax)
Don't get the "manipulate" on this, they can offer the biggest salary for a reason which is to give them a chance to build a roster that can make them compete. No player is forced to take that offer, if he wants to go elsewhere to have a better chance of winning a title, he will still earn enough to generate generational wealth.
So should i really think they are manipulated?
The Superstars earn more and more money. Compare that to the average player, who much did their salary rise?
There is no need to feel bad for that still earn up to 200 mil in 4 or 5 years. This take is ridiculous...
bucks are not a bad franchise, they just refused to push the envelope when it came to trading for great players. Plus they have giannis and plenty of two way players.
how did the cavs not make the list at all. Their four best and core players are all under 27
Because he’s talking out of his ass… twolves have ant McDaniels Reid all under 23 and towns is 26… and he didn’t rank them either
Lol Rockets below everyone but the Hornets? You cappin' man 😂
LaMelo Ball need stay healthy whole season next season 💪🔥💪
Kai on those Bahamian "goods"
Oh brother. Life isn’t fair. On the other hand, he’s wealthy beyond comprehension
The fact you don’t have the Pels on your list with Zion BI Trey Herb and 5 1sts over the next 3 years is genuinely insane to me
Who is Zion? Is he a player there? I thought he was there for moral support.
"All star calibre Desmond Bane" followed "I don't care what people say, Lauri Markkanen is not a star".
Kai Jones' rambling at his IG feed made more sense than this.
Can you make a top 100 players video?
TMac was screwed because of scoliosis, he was a timebomb. Lamelo needs to mature his body even further in the gym. He's tall so he needs to be able to make the most with mismatches. Players who lift factually are better defenders. He'd likely jump higher and run faster too if he had super strong hips and legs.
Putting the pacers and nets ahead of the pistons is nasty work. Both of those teams have limited upside.
Where did you find that ant edwards cutout 😭😭
I think this is a hot take, love your videos but I think you’re forgetting how good the hornets were just a season before with miles bridges. I’m hoping they all rise to their potential. Everyone is doubting Brandon miller but no one can say how all these rookies are gonna turn out
You know you are biased as hell when you rank the Nets as a better young team than Indiana and Charlotte.
Such disrespect to the Jazz. The jazz were way better than expected and then slowed down because of injuries and resting players. All they've done is get better in the offseason, plus have more room to upgrade with all their assets. Dudes a jazz hater
Man lamelo to houston would’ve been great had vanvleet not gone, but I guess we’ll have to see. Maybe we can get a fvv and lamelo trade or sumn but i don’t see it happening otherwise
Came from discord 🔥
Dude really said stole some sunglasses and that’s it😂 that’s criminal, what else do you need 💀
I hope that Lauri Markkanen will prove you wrong when he continues to thrive this season 🤙
I wanted to know your opinion on the wizards lol
Wow that’s extremely sad. Hope Kai can bounce back
The Rockets slander is insane, dude. Putting the PISTONS over them is actually beyond delusional.
That was a no doubter tf you talking about lmao detroit If anything should have been In the top 3 or 5 of that list smfh
@@rodneymarentette7030 okay buddy
Casey.
Jason Timpf form The Volume got your diss to him. He said he gonna get you later
I watch a new one once I see it, it’s the first thing I get notifications from. I love Casey and how he rubs his channel
Runs* My bad typo
U also be rubbing his tip.
You say Houston's best player is Jalen Green? After Sengun and VanVleet?
No pretty sure he meant that Green is their #1 best player. At least that’s how it sounded to me 🧐
I'm a casual NBA fan but Lemelo is fun to watch.
I don’t think we‘ve ever gonna get that Dennis Schröder vid😓🥺
We gotta stop looking at these players careers as a waste because playoff success. A.I., Pistol Pete, put on shows for thousands every year and became icons.
Rockets disrespect is actually insane
Hornets intentionally tanked last year. Miles Bridges gonna be back, Melo isn't gonna be "Injured" for 45 games, #2 overall pick will be solid to start off with. 30-35 wins at least.
First hi I love ur vids
Yes , yes miles is exactly what we want. Bring back the highlights, sell some more tickets.
1 month away from the start of the season 😤
i song agree with everything said here but Fire Mitch 😤
Kings not being a young team AND Top 5 is INSANE
Lamelo will be 26 27 when his contract is up i think he will be fine that's perfect timing
Waste his prime? By the time he’s an unrestricted free agent and can leave Charlotte he will be 26-27 lol. That is just entering his prime.
Whatever lamelo ball will shine ✨
Nets, Pacers, Blazers, Pistons, Jazz over Rockets is crazy
Hella disrespectful to the rockets young talent
nice video. however, I think it's silly to put SPURS ahead of Magic the next season.
The disrespect on Lauri Markkanen 💀💀💀
We will come back to this video the hate on LaMelo is crazy
There's no hate...the guy was complaining how there's no talent around him.
You kids dont know the definition of hate these days...
@@GrandmasterZen No clearly this guy is hating
Lauri Markkanen is the best player you mentioned, he proved it not only in 2021-22 NBA, but in FIBA World Cup,JJJ is an all star, way below your normal work
Lamelo to the Knicks would be fire 🔥 just like the original Melo
Lamello should demand a trade
Ant is the next Superstar
Kai used his Bahamian accent in one and the proper accent in the interview
Calling markkanen not a star is crazy.
What young assets do the Knicks have to put them at 3??
that announcer should be in the hall of fame
Lamelo and miles bridge teamwork give excitement in hornet's games.
If both melo and lonzo can stay healthy hornets should get zo and use him as a backup pg
LaMelo is a future all-star... There is no other superstars to help him although hes only highlights...
He's already an all star
my bad i forgot to say 3x
@@SweetDaiisy
Could you imagine how funny it would be if LaMelo demanded a trade lol.
275M turns to 3B?! Damn
love it when casuals cry about loyalty but never look at the front office wasting superstar's prime with their anti-climactic off season moves.
"I don't care what Lauri Markkanen did last year" really? 😂 did you watch some international games? Now Lauri is in a perfect situation, he's a star and some guys like you kicked him out of the ALL-NBA list it was ridiculous. You mentioned Detroit choac and missed Hardy? 😂
Watch Utah's more than one games and you'll be change your minde.
Bro forgot the wizards 😅😂
This man added the Magic up there. Sometimes you just think you are too correct buddy. Lol.
Lavar Ball is a solid parent
AI just needed one more player man.. worst front office ever.
Best TH-camr ever
I am going to give him a run for his money 😎
But also know that he is one of many who have inspired me to give him a chance but just because he is family doesn't mean I'm going to not go after the throne!
🥩
This is how you know AM never watched the hornets.
Hornets went 43-39 in the 2021-22 and made the play-in with LaMelo and miles bridges as their two leading scorers.
Since then have added mark Williams and #2 pick Brandon miller
Hornets are a 43 win squad that has improved overall and have more experience and are somehow below teams like the magic and pacers lmao....
Bad coaching and bad leadership still gonna miss the playoffs
Lmfao this guy stays deleting ppl’s comments
Hell yeah they should trade bridges to the Lakers. Get that negativity away from lamelo
Imagine not watching every vid❤❤❤
Yeah fuck that!!

Jordan slapping niggas is hilarious 😂
I'm happy as a new yorker but I can't imagine how it feels being in Toronto, Orlando, Philly, Portland, and Detroit. These players don't want to go to these cities anymore. We are starting to see the age of player entitlement n I can't see these fans winning for a while. Mitchell doesn't even wanna stay in Cleveland. A lot of these old rust towns players don't want to commit to stay bc the money just isn't there. They definitely need to move teams around to new cities begging for basketball like Seattle, Vegas, n San Diego. There's no reason FL needs 2 teams as there's no reason for anybody to even be living in Detroit 😂
T Mac started in Toronto next to Vince Carter
You forgot KG wasted his prime in Minnesota
Kai Jones moving like gucci before jail
Dame literally peaking after his surgery in 21' and you saying that that was his prime Bro is in his prime rn dawg. thats crazy. its his rosters not him
No respect for Sengun 🤦♂
People question Lavar. But his 2 Boys still got paid more than they ever would at any other job. So... worth it.
