It will be interesting to see if Bronny James, an undersized, third guard on an under-.500 team that averaged less than five points, two assists and two rebounds a game gets drafted. It is an insult to the game if a draft choice is wasted as an attempt to land his father LeBron. I guess a team feels free agency can be used to fill the seat on the bench if things don’t work out. This circus only hurts LeBron’s legacy. Bronny needs to go back to school and at least show he can be a starter on a bad team.

I, for one, will gladly pay for LeBron’s plane fare back to Cleveland. In my opinion, he was never a true Laker. So, LeBron, do all of us true Lakers fan a favor and go home to Cleveland. Maybe the Cavaliers will draft Bronny and make me smile.

So, the Lakers still have a coaching vacancy. But, who would want this ridiculous game of musical chairs?
First of all, you have a meddling, incompetent ownership group to deal with who will probably get you on the cheap because they like to spend/blow all their money on aging superstars. Next, is kowtowing, accommodating and acquiescing to the whims and ego of that aging superstar or find yourself gone before your tenure is up. Then, there’s the flawed lineup: no, established backup center, a weak bench and no third reliable scoring option in your starting five. Finally, you can forget about developing young, promising talent because they’ll be gone before you know it.
Um … sounds like a “great“ Job opportunity.
Good luck in La La land!

Their primary focus is experience, but they’ll give “serious consideration” to someone who has zero coaching experience in JJ Redick. That’s all you need to know about the Lakers’ management incompetence.
