    There's no guarantee that the Lakers will be able to draft Bronny. Also, Sr has set it up so he can be a free agent and sign wherever Bronny is drafted.

    Yes that is/was his plan all along though, to play w his son.

    LBJ signs extension.  Lakers will draft lil Bron.  It's all part of the plan...
    But...is it a good one? I'm not so sure...
    If he can become a distributor like a Magic Johnson then yes, it will be good.  He can't score at will on everyone anymore but he is still upper tier.  I would love for him to play defense again.

    He can't do it all by himself.  If Mr. Glass ever gets healthy for more than 10 games then the Lakers can compete.  AD does play some good D.

    I'd be interested to see what happens if Bronny is drafted by a team in the lower third of the league. Would he really leave LA to play somewhere like OKC or Indiana? I could see him trying to force the GM to trade for his son, but I would hope the GM has the balls to do what's right for the team, not what's right for one player.

    So that would be like the Lnzo Ball situation all over again.  Not exactly but it reminds me of it.

    And yes, I would hope the Lakers do the right thing.  I miss Jerry West.  He was a good GM.

    Pat Beverly to the Lakers.  Bevs and Westbrook just LOVE each other.  This should be an interesting season or Westbrook is getting traded.

    He literally commented on the post that mentions Bronny as his son so I hope so...

    Rumor is Donovan Mitchell will be a Knick by end of today...
    I wrote this a few weeks ago and we are still getting all sorts of rumblings about it.  Mitchell will be a Knick.

    My first reaction: That looks like a good Trade for Utah.

    All depends on where those picks end up. NBA 1st rounders are really only super valuable when at least top 10, usually top 5. If Cleveland becomes a perennial playoff team and those picks are all in the 20's, it's a lousy trade for Utah. And Danny Ainge loves to hoard late 1st round picks and draft useless draft and stash guys.

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!  I knew I shouldn't rely on the same bunch of loons that thought LeBron or KD would actually come here to play.
