Seems he’s forcing their hand.

Are the Lakers dumb enough to extend him to keep him around knowing they have to draft his horrible son and they aren’t winning anything as is? They have to be smarter than that? Right?

like clockwork this douche shifts the attention from his team getting waxed again and the blame to go around to where he might go

could see the Wizards honestly doing this.

Agreed and I wouldn’t even use a two way on him. Too many teams finding gems after a little g league development nowadays. Bronny would be a complete waste of that opportunity.

You serious? You think it would be dumb for a team like OKC or Dallas to tell LeBron to shove off if he said he'd end his career there? There are 5 or 6 teams that old arse LeBron would push over the top. The amount of ref love that gravitates towards his teams alone is worth burning a pick on his kid to have a 2 year guaranteed title window.

As for the Lakers, they are going to have to tank if he leaves so they may as well keep him around as long as they can for the merch sales and see if they can talk any older vets into attempting one last run.

Windy not going to tell us which body part he was wearing a cast/bandage/sleeve on? How are we to know what injury it was that handed the series to the Nuggets?

If the Pelicans had a mid-late 2nd Rounder, I would have loved to see them do that. Maybe they can buy a pick.

I think that Dan Gilbert would 100% take Bronny to frick with LeBron.

none. He aint passing up money.

Lakers will draft Bronny with the 55th pick, Bron will sign a 2 year or 3 year max deal with them.

Maybe we get lucky and he goes play in China. I wouldn't watch him if he was playing in my garage.

As a Lakers fan I am fine with Lebron leaving.

Start back with Davis.

Wait for another star to demand a trade and pair him with Davis. I could see Booker wanting out soon.

I would want to keep LeBron, but there's no way the Lakers should waste ANY of their draft capital on his son. He deserves a G league tryout at best.

I mean if that’s the cost of having LeBron on your roster, it is what it is.
