That is my point. Everyone knew the Lakers were going to draft Bronny in the Second Round. What Paul did was just lowlife thuggery bullshit that brings a whole bunch of crap to the Lakers franchise that was unnecessary!

They spent 3 2nds to dump Reggie
Now THAT is major league asset mismanagement! I didn’t mind yesterday giving up the three 2nds to get “your guy”, but to dump salary, having to give up 3 second rounders is God awful.

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, Booth has up his sleeve.

In the 2nd round.

They got a top 10 talent at #17....

So LOL at you.
Why waste a 2nd round pick on a guy who can't play? Get a legitimate 2nd round player with your pick and bring in baby James as a free agent because there are zero other teams who were going to draft him.

It’s rare late 2nd’s are even role players in the league. You are making a big deal out of nothing

I am not worried about the pick itself, I just think the announcing he won't sign because he knows he has nepotism where his talent should be.

Had it just been the pick I don't think many even bat an eye, but leveraging your daddy as a power play is shitty.

Ultimately it will not really change anything, he will get a few years as a deep bench player before he goes overseas instead of starting overseas. Worth it to the Lakers to keep Lebron happy. Smart pick by them.

It’s hard when the NBA has fully guaranteed contracts so unless you trade a guy you can’t just cut him and keep that money. Giving Reggie a lower deal and a player option to begin with could be debated as a smart move or not but it really worked out the year they won the title, last year not so much.

Reggie Jackson is on his way to setting records for most teams played for. He is never missed, not once.

A legit 2nd rounder? Go look up the history of late 2nd rounder's success, especially in the 50-60 range.

Not like this is was an early to mid 2nd rounder.

You are right, Bronny James is nothing, absolutely nothing.

exactly. Baby James is behind the eight ball before he even starts. He’s going to be a joke in the league to other players

He’s going to have so much hate directed at him from fans and players in the league. So he has even less of a chance to succeed than just his lack of talent

Why do you post about things you know nothing about?
