Is a billion-dollar deal a slam dunk for Lonzo Ball and his brothers? In fact, Knight told USA Today that “we have an interest” in Lonzo, the first of LaVar Ball’s three talented sons to head for the pros, where Dad has sky-high predictions of success. “It’s a little steep,’’ he said, adding that Lonzo Ball is “an awfully great player.”Knight didn’t shy away from giving LeBron James a long-term deal believed to be in the $1-billion neighborhood and a Ball deal would include Lonzo’s brothers, LiAngelo and LaMelo, who are still in high school. “A billion dollars, it has to be there,” LaVar Ball told USA Today earlier this month. LaVar Ball says that Lonzo Ball will win more than 6 NBA titles.
