Bronny James drafted by Lakers

I feel sorry for the kid. My understanding is that he has shown potential at the high school level but his college career was derailed at the outset by some now resolved health issues. He could really stand another year in college ball to develop and showcase what he can do. But I suspect that he was pressured by his father to enter the draft so they could play together.

The attention that will come with being Lebron's son will be bad enough, but (should it come to pass) taking up an NBA roster spot will only heighten that scrutiny and will undoubtedly get ugly if he fails to deliver. What is done is done, but I hope that the Lakers give him some time in the G League to develop. Though I doubt it.

Speaking of which, did you hear the NBA is going to change the league logo from the old Jerry West to one featuring Lebron?

LeBron opted out of his contract but is expected to sign a new deal with the Lakers. After they drafted his son, it would be hard to imagine him going somewhere else.

If he takes a pay cut to free up resources for the team, he can partially make up for the fact that he basically forced them to draft his son. If he demands more money as a 39 year old, its not going to look good.

I think drafting his son has made it clear the Lakers are happy to give him whatever he wants.
