"data-reactid =" 16 "> It seemed that Lonzo Ball was taking control of his career by shaking his father's hand – LaVar Ball – and by getting rid of a trading partner would have stolen millions from him.

This seems to be half true.

It was expected that the Los Angeles Lakers' second-year guard would become his own man, but LaVar Ball has re-emerged as an attacker to orchestrate his son's next crucial move, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

LaVar Ball has since met with some NBA agents on behalf of his son and CAA is considered the favorite to take control of the leader's career, sources said.

But the agents concerned have concerns about LaVar's involvement and about the family's financial situation vis-à-vis the failed Big Baller brand, sources said.

During the process of verifying candidates for agents at meetings, LaVar asked if the agencies have the power to match his three sons – Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo – in the same NBA team, sources said.

LaMelo, the youngest son, may have a future in the NBA, but his middle son, LiAngelo, is not considered an NBA-rated player. Several agents have tried to measure the interest of Lonzo Ball, sources said, but most became indifferent once notified that LaVar still directs the show.

"Harrison has always had my back and although we would no longer work together after we decided to separate, our relationship will always be bigger than basketball," Ball said in a statement to ESPN.

The next Lonzo Ball agent will not only be responsible for leading the next phase of his basketball career, but will also play a vital role in signing a shoe approval contract.

In early March, the 21-year-old was out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury. He played for the last time in January and in 47 games this season, he averaged 9.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists.

The Balls are going in a new direction, but it seems that the same voice is making the transition.
