2024 NBA Offseason

Exactly if Bronny was goin to get drafted by the Lakers then make it happen naturally. Not by making threats

Hope LeBron know this look bad on him as well because logical assumption is he made the decision and Paul was just the messenger

Especially after Lebron said he wasn't basing his FA decision on who drafted Bronny. If someone else drafted him knowing Lebron wasn't likely to go there...that would mean they actually wanted Bronny.

Nothing crooked about that. LOL. I wonder how many legit ball players got overlooked to appease Old ass LeHype's Ego

None

I think the league must fine rich Paul a huge amount

That shit happens more than you know. It's publicized this time because it's Bronny, Do you think he's the only player that was telling teams not to draft him, through an agent or not?

Its no secret who runs the Lakers. I said a long time ago AD needs to bail out of there and find a REAL organization to play for. Not the Los Angeles Lebrons

That pick only kept them from 3 other players (56 57 and 58 picks). Everyone else was available as UDFA.

I’m sure it does but im also sure those agents aren’t making threats about their player playing overseas either

Teams are silly though. I would have challenged Paul and told him we are about to draft Bronny to try and get any type of compensation from the lakers forcing them to trade up for him

How do you feel about Giannis' brother stealing a roster spit from another player?

The warriors did it with their guy last year

Happens in baseball drafts all the time but that is a totally different animal

 

[DJ Fieri]

If Bron were still on the Heat....

@bksballer89 wouldn't be saying the same shit, not even close......LOL.

BOOM.

BOOM.

I still don’t like it

Promises happens all the time but never saw something in the NBA where the agent basically said my player won't sign or play for you if you dare draft him and damn sure not for some 2nd round pick.

This is a much cooler story if they let it naturally happen

 

[DJ Fieri]

I still don’t like it

The point is it happens.

And I don't hear many bitching about Giannis' brother who at best, should be on a bench overseas.

Yet, he sits on an NBA bench....

Why?

"Crickets*

 

[DJ Fieri]

No other team was drafting him anyway.

So, much ado about nothing.

 

[bksballer89]

Thanasis been the laughing stock of the league for at least 2 yrs now. Maybe longer

He also wasn’t drafted by the bucks

Got drafted 5 yrs prior to the bucks signing him and once again there was nothing wrong with the lakers drafting Bronny. The stunt Rich Paul here is the issue most are having

So that the bro signs a max deal to stay there lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

196 of 198 games played in Milwaukee....I wonder why? LOL.

Bigger question is how bad was that 14 draft that he went 51?

What are you pushing this? Let it go. Totally different situations. If it was Bronny himself that made the calls it would be one thing but it wasn’t. It smells, just say so and move on. .

 

[DJ Fieri]

Thanasis is an UFA....wonder if Giannis gets management to resign him....maybe even a raise?
