Do you not remember the Ingram/Lonzo/Kuzma Lakers that we're the worst team in the NBA that missed the playoffs 6 season in a row?

No I don't.

Laker franchise misses 6 playoffs in a row in total
And would've kept missing 6 more seasons with the core of players that are injury prone and headcases.

Lonzo is pretty much retired rn, Ingram is reckless fighting CP3 and throwing punches any scenario there is drama on the court + he's inconsistent, Kuzma is focused on outdoing Westbrook at the fashion shows wearing garbage bags and dating celebrities with a basic Skillset

Those players were not Lakers for 6 years. It was a very young team when Lebron joined.

No one leaves LA unless they get traded. LeBron's not leaving.

Dwight Howard disagrees.

So, ring chasing will continue? To Denver or Boston in this case...

He can't jump teams again. Would be a bad look on his legacy.

it's all common sense.

but some people think klutch will make it happen. i cannot argue with the reasoning but so many things about that is offensive and disrespectful of the nba and game,,,,and yet silver is offensive and disrespectful of the game if you ask me. not to mention the lakers part in all this

it would be akin to will smith force feeding jaden on the public and yet,,,,jaden has been in movies, so there it is.

Yeah just like they rioted when they drafted a worse player in Jalen Hood that can't even play in the G league
With exact same #17 pick

Stop being so dramatic

He's been a Laker for six years. That's longer than his Heat and second Cavs stint and just as long as his first Cavs stint from 04-10.

That's a while. I'm fine if he goes.

Yeah please don't draft this kid just to placate the diva who thinks his son is better than half the roster. This kid is a bench player averaging just over 4 ppg, 2 apg, 2 rpg on 37%fg and 69%ft as a bench player for a bad college team.

It's ok to have a bad draft pick based on upside. It's just stupid to waste one with a zero upside player.

I seem to remember a pretty comfortable first round series 12 months ago, including a 40 point win in the closeout game lol. Oh, but you didn't have Steven Adams :lol:

Outlets are reporting the Lakers are open to adding Bronny, not necessarily drafting him. He can be picked up as an UFA or late in the 2nd round. Wasting a FRP on him is asinine.

The real question is whether a non-Laker team will pick him up to manufacture LeBron’s departure from LA.

Bronnys game is better suited for the NBA game being a Defender and Spot up shooter. Plus it gives the Lakers 3 yrs of LeBron James, of course you wouldn't want that lmao

Dude...he's going to be there in the second round. Wasting a first is the dumbest thing I've seen on this board.

The biggest winners are Denver. I don't see how they survive a third encounter with the Lakers if LeBron stays.
