The last full NBA game I watched was the Trailblazer screwjob against the Lakers in Game 7.

And I was a lifelong Lakers fan. Fandom has a tipping point when the "sport" becomes a joke.

Drafting Bronny was a bad look but its not like second rounders are not a roll of dice anyways. This is being overblown.

College football teams have been known to do package deals as well.

It’s July 4th and these tards can’t stop thinking about Lebron.

Who gives a frick. Move on.

I’m sure all of yall have the same anger and hatred towards the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannas brother is terrible. Can’t believe they keep paying him instead of replacing him with another guy to sit on the end of the beach all year unless they are up by 40

I watched as little Nba this year as I have in quite a while. The game has become boring. Guys taking nights off, even teams taking nights off (game 4 of finals this year). And guys coasting during games until the last quarter. Its become a 3 pt shot contest. The season is too long, the playoffs are too long.

I would have liked to have seen another team pick up his kid and dangle him as trade bait to the Lakers.

"We got your boy, what are you gonna pay to get him?"

Care to explain how the OP is being hypocritical?

You first may want to look up the definition of hypocritical before responding.

Am I outraged? No. Private organizations can do what they want with their money.

Now do I think its absurd they gave him 4 years of guaranteed money where historically 2nd rounders are given paltry sums?

Absolutely.

This kid will have a target on his back from the first practice. He was treated differently because of his name. Nothing else. His talent doesn't merit any guaranteed money. Lakers probably view it as a sunk cost of $8MM.

Lebron would have better served having his kid do it the hard way but He wanted "his moment".

Kid will be cut year after LeBron retires.

Of someone who is on the roster to start the year. You're being disingenuous.

That would be you for being outraged over a minimum salary dude on a mid team… if Bronny plays it won’t be when anything matters

Its not the pick the contract
And LeBrons new deal. He just arse graped them

Now the clown lakers are admitting that he is being used for LeBrons ego for the first two weeks of LeBrons farewell tour then down to the G league

The Lakers are one of the worst run orgs in the world

I just think it’s funny when espn kisses Lebron arse by saying Bronny is a “defensive specialist “. Huh? How many steals did he average in college? .4?

The contract was absurd. But feel good feelings are what the Lakers are more serious about, apparently. Lebron isnt a special Laker, so I dont know why the Lakers are willing to go this far. He was a mercenary for hire late in his career when the Lakers got him. Lebron is getting the special treatment as a mercenary when there are lifers like Carolina Panthers Steve Smith getting sent packing despite his service and talent left in the tank.

When the King and the Prince play together, ratings will soar. The Lakers will make a financial killing.
