hehe Bronny remaining in the draft
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Guaranteed first round pick........
Lakers need to get rid of LeBron. Signing some loser just because over the hill daddy says so is not good business practice.
Crazy for me to say this but I feel bad for the kid trying to fill his dads shoes and there's no way he can
Jordan’s kids couldn’t do it neither will Lebron’s
Well, doesn’t matter. He’s set for life, as is his kids and his kids kids. May as well do it, have fun playing with dad for a season. Why not. I’d take it.
Whoever takes him is trying to get fired as a GM.
My opinion....good move for him personally. I don't think he was ever going to be good enough to make it to the league, regardless of how many years he played in college. A college degree isn't going to be fruitful for him as I imagine he will go into business with his dad or someone else that Lebron has a relationship with. See if you can catch on, if not, make some serious cash working on the business side of things.
His dad has the power to make a team draft him
And we have fans that believe Reed needs to stay in school ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
Osobor gets $2 million to play at UW and now this?

The question is what happens when he goes undrafted? Will LeBron demand a redo?
He won’t get drafted but Lakers could sign him to a short term deal and let him ride the bench for a couple of years.
That's kinda where I'm at. The guy seems like an ok person. He's probably aware of his situation and knows he's never gonna be an NBA lifer. Play will your pops, and have some fun. Bronny isn't living a normal life. Different playbook than anyone else out there.
That said, if I had more money than God, I wouldn't be allowing people to call me "Bronny" as a grown ass man.
Feel bad for the kid. I think he was well on his way to being a decent NBA role player prior to his health issues. Athletic defender who can knock down the corner three.
Hope for his sake he can remain healthy and get his game back.

Nah. It'll be a late 2nd round pick if he's drafted at all. GM's don't get fired for that. Most likely the Lakers if they have a late 2nd round pick so he can be on the team with his dad for his farewell tour. If no one else takes him, the Lakers will sign him as an UDFA. Hell, he just had one year of college. He was a nice prospect before his heart issue. It's not impossible that he could make some nice strides in improving his game if he remains healthy.
I would HAVE to guess something has already been finalized - the details, no clue. But I'm guessing he's already been told he has a guaranteed 2-way contract or what not.
I agree. Hard to believe they would make this play without a plan in place. And who knows what that is. I don't even think it's a guarantee that LeBron is a Laker next year.
He'll be assigned to the G-League the moment Lebron is out of the way.

How a doody ball year can declare (and likely to get drafted) shows how choreographed the NBA is and not true bball. More like WWE stuff.

Should have stayed in school and got a degree. That's something LeBron doesn't have. Become your own man and not live on daddy's money.
I feel bad for him. He's not an NBA player at this point. Someone will take him in the second round though.
It would be funny if a random team took Bronny in a desperate attempt to get LeBron and disrupted LeBron's plan to have the Lakers sign him.
He either won't get drafted or will go deep second round to the Lakers. A smart team might take a gamble and draft him early second round, then extort the Lakers for a good draft pick or player.
Maybe GM gets a 2 year guarantee that LeBron stays put. Not saying I like it, but sacrificing a second round pick to keep LeBron won’t get a GM fired.
I'm not convinced he goes back to the Lakers. If he's chasing championships, he probably knows it's not happening in LA. But maybe playing with Bronny will trump all?
I don't think he will get drafted at all, and probably wouldn't if there were 5 rounds. He will go undrafted, sign a FA deal with the Lakers and sit on the bench a year or two. When his dad retires, he will get cut. IMO
To me, and take it a step further, I think the Lakers also realize they aren't championship caliber. LeBron has value. Different types of value. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a mutual parting.
Yeah, LeBron has been GM of the Lakers and produced another disaster. You can always tell when the cries of "He needs more help!" go up after he's traded away lots of pieces/a team's future and there isn't much left.
But the Lakers messed up when they passed on Fox years ago and went with Ball. It's not like Fox didn't outplay him on a big stage in the NCAA Tournament and the Lakers still made a bad selection.
Everybody knows why he's staying in the draft. It's a shame it's all a ploy to say they played in the league together. But if the son didn't earn it or really deserve to be in the league, does it really mean anything at all?
