The Lakers had 6 guys spend time on the roster last season who played under 100 minutes on the season, five of which made less than 10 total shots. I don't see Bronny taking up space anymore than those players did.

Did any of those 6 guys have a fully guaranteed 4-year/$7.9 million contract? Since players drafted in the second round don't usually have a significant impact on a team, it's one thing to use a pick to make LeBron happy since he will probably contribute about the same as anyone else they would have selected instead. Giving that much money to him is what I find moe appalling.
