I’m not. It’s a joke though. I get that playing in the NBA with your son is an absolutely insane milestone, but achieving that goal by drafting him when he’s nowhere near ready just screams desperation.

I should have added /s.
That was the single most sure pick of the draft since there wasn't really any certainty at the top.

Sad that Bronny takes a NBA roster spot ahead of more qualified players when he should stay in school or play outside the NBA. Interesting how Lebron and JJ Redick co-exist while Reddick is responsible for fielding most competitive team and Lebron's playing career is getting near the end and he contributes less and less.

At that point in the draft, the talent is already marginal relative to the top of the draft class. This pick makes perfect sense for the Lakers. It ensures that Lebron sticks around (he could have explored free agency). You want to keep the big fish happy. We may not like it, but this is the correct business choice from Lakers executives.
Hell yeah Quincy!!

That's pretty similar to what Vecenie had to say about Shannon too.
He's a 2nd round pick. The later you get in that round, you're likely picking players that are basically lottery tickets that you hope will develop into something. More qualified doesn't really play a role at that point.

Domask to the Bulls 
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would agree but who was actually more qualified at pick 55? McCullar should've went ahead of him but otherwise, the rest of those players picked after him are nobody special. Some of the better undrafted free agents will get Summer League opportunities anyways. Lakers can do whatever they want their pick. Who cares
Not too familiar with the “exhibit 10” contract. How often do these guys make it to the main roster? Would be amazing to see Marcus and Ayo playing together on the Bulls.
It's pick 55...
who cares...
nobody left at that spot was that special to say it was such a problem anyhow...
Exactly.

Any idea on if Terrence will play in the summer league? Would love to see him.

If his name was Bronny Smith he wouldn't have even been playing D1 basketball!
Unfortunately took away a spot on McDAA, scholarships, and now NBA because of crybaby daddy. Dad probably flopped in the GM office when he said he wasn't drafting him. Threatened lawsuit, so had to draft him.

Says who? You? I'm guessing that you, your son, your brother, your cousin.... wasn't one of those fringe guys. Would you be telling a family member that they aren't that special anyway, so drop it?
There's a kid out there who's dream was to be drafted and that dream was robbed by a kid who's dad got him a job.
Be better.
