A lot of players drafted in the second round never make a team either. I don't see the wasted draft pick angle considering he was picked almost last.
I think there's a difference between MLB nostalgia moves like this and what is clearly a manipulated move to appease Lebron, but to his credit he has been honest about his intention. It smacks of intense Narcissism to me compared to your examples.

Pelinka should be ashamed of the disingenuous nonsense he is spouting. LeBron would seem to have him and Jeannie Buss enthralled -- or intimidated.

The new NBA logo (to replace Jerry West) looks more like a lymphoma in LeBron’s neck than a beard.

No wait, I think that’s Bronny hiding behind his daddy.
