post malone ergo propter malone: like, all I’m saying here is that a kid who looked pretty good before he had a heart attack, who is the son of a top-3ish all-time basketball mind, might very well turn out to be a useful player, perhaps after he is old enough to legally purchase alcohol

Like in the one hand Bronny James is probably not an NBA player. But on the other hand I watched a shit ton of Austin Reeves at Oklahoma and at no point did anyone watching him say he would start an NBA game and if someone tells you they thought he would they’re lying.

he’s 19

Yeah if I were him I’m coming out so I can get an NBA paycheck too.

His dad has a player option and the opportunity to do the funniest thing to the Lakers

This is probably the other reason they got him lol

I am irate that the wizards didn’t keep their 2nd round pick just to select him out of spite. Payback for the Arenas-era crab dribble.

oKC traded back into the second ahead of the Lakers today and I was so ready.

Heart attack?

Holy shit www.cbsnews.com/news/bronny-...

Congenital heart defect likely caused Bronny James' cardiac arrest, family sayswww.cbsnews.com Bronny James, an incoming freshman at USC, suffered a cardiac arrest during a July 24 practice with his college basketball team.

heart attack:

he might not even be full height yet

I see what you’re saying. Yeah I don’t hate it, it’s a late second, you get even a useful season on the roster out of that pick it’s a win.

he’s almost certainly not going to be useful at 19 in part because, again, he had a freaking heart attack less than a year ago. but very few players are useful at 19 and ~0 second-rounders

But his “value” as a second half pick is he keep Lebron around another year or two minutes or not

All else fails you're going to sell a bunch of jerseys and random merch.

Which apparently the Lakers desperately need.

The other side of the coin is that pick #55 is a weak draft year isn’t going to turn into a great player anyway. Why not take a flier and make your star (who’s deciding on a player option as we speak) happy?
