Are you suggesting some other team might draft Bronny as trade bait for the lolkers, or to lure dad?

Realizing I did not directly answer this, but yes. This is why teams almost always keep their desired draft pick a secret.

It's early, but I could see Lakers in that 12-20 range. That's way early for Bronny, but I'm not sure a team with a Top 10 pick would try to get cute and draft him underneath the Lakers. But, if they're sitting at like 20-24, I could definitely see a team doing that.

Well, likely you could land Bronny with a 2nd round pick, so it's not the draft capital that would fuck you up...but if he's in the coaches ear to force more playing time for him ( and I don't think he'd do that if he was on a competitive team ) then that's how he/they could fuck a team up.

I think LeBron stays in L.A. ( just signed an extension ) and the Lakers draft Bronny with a 2nd. NBD to them.

what if somebody snags Bronny before the lakers do, for trade leverage and such?

That would be ridiculously stupid and not realistic.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Welp, Shams is saying that the new rule won't go into effect until, the earliest, NBA Draft 2024.

So Bronny probably looking at G League or Ohio State.

Bronny almost feels UK, cuz you know Cal would love the attention.

maybe.

In the lotto, yea.

In some second round sitch, at least less unlikely.

And come on, ridiculously stupid free agency/trade circuses is kind of Lebron's thing.

I think if UK were involved, everyone would know about it. Partly because of Cal's personality, yes.

That wouldn't be Lebron's thing.
That would be some GM being stupid.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Mich sets the clock back before it ends up contemporary several times a day.

Has the moron ever heard of J.R. Smith?

[TDub]

hes just looking for attention. He hasn't seen his name on the sports ticker in awhile. He plays these games every off-season when he feels like he's not being talked about.

[twocoach]

Or he's just into college football and excited like other college football fans and tweets "wish I was out there 'cause this looks fun" tweets like a ton of regular fans do every weekend without being accused of being attention seeking.

[TDub]

he has a history of attention seeking comments

and even if its an "innocent" tweet....he Knows its gonna get picked up and run all over ESPN. If he just likes college football then tweet "man I love college football, Go Buckeyes!" like anyone else.

[Sparko]

I was talking Lebron with Tubi and he said that Bron was not an attention whore like Bo Jackson. We were talking while watching Bron film an ATT commercial with Milana.

[MICHHAWK]

lebron james will be 38 soon. that has to place him on the list of oldest active players. i wonder when he will retire. i will not miss him.

[pdub]

He was one of the top 5 players in the NBA last year.
He can't keep that up forever but if he is still at that level, why retire?

is this a reference to the legendary tuby thread? or did i miss something?

He's 4th behind Udonis Haslem (42), Iguodola (38) and Carmelo Anthony (38). I would expect him to play at least 4 more years if he can stay free of major injury.

[Cascadia]

He will stay in the league long enough to force some team to waste a 1st round pick in bronny
