July 7, 20241 yr Despite his terrible opener, still think Dalton Knecht was a steal at the 17th pick and will be an impactful player. Dude's a worker.
July 8, 20241 yr https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40516231/lebron-james-says-bronny-shrug-critics-does-not-care Lulz, does that dipshit Lebron actually think if he tells everyone 41 times that bronny doesnt care about criticism, people will stop tooling on his son getting drafted by the Lebron's as a fucking joke?

July 8, 20241 yr I think what will happen is Bronny plays a few games wtih his old man, makes history, fuflills a bucket list for LeBron, then LeBron will hide him in the G-league until Bronny "retires" due to re-complication of his heart and health issues. No chance LeBron wants his son bieng riducled for being ridiculously outclassed by the last man on the bench of every NBA team and embarrassed. No father wants that for his son.

July 11, 20241 yr Someone brought up a good point on the radio: could you imagine if the Lakers had drafted someone else in round 2? Even if they went ahead and signed Bronny as a free agent, that poor dude would have been persona non grata in a very Klutch friendly locker room. LeBron would dedicate a lot of time and effort to proving that whomever they picked instead is an absolute bum.

July 11, 20241 yr Point being: the Lakers absolutely had to draft Bronny. Not just because LeBron wanted them to, but because anyone they picked instead would have had absolutely no chance of contributing because LeBron would never accept them.

Yeah I mean that wasn't your point but whatever. The main point is that no one ever has given a fuck about an NBA draft 2nd round pick. Who gives a fuck what LeBron does he's 40.
July 11, 20241 yr Just now, ztejas said: Yeah I mean that wasn't your point but whatever. Well then I'm certainly glad that you're here to explain my point for me.

July 11, 20241 yr There's the James' and then there is the Manning's. Lebron should have told Bronny, find a place you can likely start and get better in college. now he has set him up for failure and ridicule. I could be wrong but Bronny seems to be relatively well adjusted so my guess is he knows exactly what is going on and that this is just an ego trip for his dad. He'll play out the string and then dad can get him on some coaching or player development path in the NBA or college.
July 11, 20241 yr LeBron/Klutch/Lakers had the Bronny swollen knee excuse. They should have worked him out privately the rest of the summer, and shut him down for the summer league. Get your photo op in game 1 of the regular season, and send Bronny down to the G League for real development. I believe the Lakers’ G League team shares the facility with the major leaguers so he gets to work out with dad everyday. If they go this way, Bronny leaving early is no big deal. College hoops has limited practice time. He can be a full time basketball player in the G League.

College hoops has limited practice time. He can be a full time basketball player in the G League. He will be at best a middling G League player unless he makes some leaps in a hurry. The talent level and hunger in the G League is no joke - if he's this shitty in summer league games it won't look much better in the G League.

He needs to spend all of his time outside of practice shooting corner threes. Defensively he's not far away from being playable, but he needs to be able to hide in the corner and make threes to play for a real team
July 12, 20241 yr I'm headed to Vegas this weekend for 6 nights of food, pool time, debauchery with the wife, you get the idea. When we saw the Summer League schedule for Monday included a 7:30 pm game between the Celtics and Lakers, it was an instant buy. So, tickets in hand, we are going to witness Bronny's performance in person.
July 13, 20241 yr Letting this kid take this many shots is fucking ridiculous and honestly against the spirit of the game. It's shitty that he's taking an opportunity or opportunities from* guys that maybe have a legitimate chance and is allowed to sit out there and brick 3s because his dad is a great player. Like come the fuck on, man. I get it's summer league and most of these guys will never get more than a cup of coffee but fucking 0 of EIGHT from three? I'm not really mad or anything, ultimately, as it shows that LA couldn't be less serious about winning. They got that weird fucking covid title and since then it's just been a parade for LeBron to rack up stats and keep the brand afloat. This is the cherry on top. This kid cannot play minutes in the NBA this upcoming season. He'll get run off the floor. Edited July 13, 20241 yr by ztejas
July 13, 20241 yr The main point is that no one ever has given a fuck about an NBA draft 2nd round pick.Especially if they were drafted during a Taco Bell Quesarito commercial.
July 13, 20241 yr I watched a lot of it. He looked okay in the 1Q. He has an athletic profile that would spark your interest regardless of his last name. But holy shit he’s small as hell (6’2” lol) and they were sending him down to the dunker’s spot on offense which tells me he has zero handle and isn’t an outside threat at all. And that’s what played out the last three quarters as the Rockets C team were thrilled to let him fire away. He’ll have to develop into a serious defensive perimeter player (That may happen?) and also put together a corner three threat (loooooooool so far) to even have a chance LeBron should’ve put his stock in Bryce because he at least has some height

I've said it before - he's basically a poorish man's Davion Mitchell. We shouldn't be surprised, honestly. Has an elite NBA player ever had a kid wind up as good as him? There are journeyman guys whose kids wound up being great players but I can't think of an all-timer who's had a kid worth a shit. I mean Brent Barry is one of the better examples if not the best. Maybe Arvydas and Domanatas is the best father/son duo? But Sabonis Sr. obviously didn't spend his prime in the NBA. Probably one of those two or Mychal/Klay, Dell/Steph.
July 13, 20241 yr 0-12 from 3. Davion Mitchell was 10-25 in summer league. Bronny wishes he was a poor man’s version of him.
July 13, 20241 yr Has made one shot outside the paint so far. A step back two. 6/26 shooting overall.
July 13, 20241 yr The thing about athletics is that when you truly don't belong it is glaring. This dude is 🗑.
July 13, 20241 yr Author i wonder if any of his gen z opponents are talking crazy shit to him about his dad, his contract, and how sorry he is, or if that part of the game no longer exists for players his age.

Needs to be able to knock down corner threes and be able to dribble vs pressure though
July 13, 20241 yr Player A or B? Player A 4.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists 40.8%/36.8%/89.3% 34 games, 22 MPG Player B(ronny) 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists 36.6%/26.7%/67.6% 25 games, 19.3 MPG
July 13, 20241 yr I assume everyone would pick the better shooting and rebounding player A. Our very own Brock Cunningham…

July 14, 20241 yr Two NBA teams bothered to scout Bronny, one of which was the Lakers for obvious reasons. That should tell you all you need to know. I doubt Bronny could even hack it in the G-League, but he'll be on the opening day roster or LeBron will threaten to retire and ruin LA's season before it even starts.

July 14, 20241 yr Bronny and I have the same NBA 3-pt shooting percentage. Gonna make sure I brag to my family and coworkers this week.
