Olvari will need to show growth in his decision making skills. 7 turnovers.
Traore has the tools to be a player in the NBA. Sometimes tries to do too much in GLeague, but should be able to provide minutes this year if needed in a small role. Good size/length, can move feet, can rebound & can also pop out to the 3.
There might be a legit 9 players better than Bronny on this team. _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.' Whatever, pow, three. I love the Zen, though."

Yeah which is why I don't understand why they only want him to play G league home games. It seems like that would be more beneficial to his development than him sitting on the bench at our games and coming in at the end of games for no reason

But oh well
If our 40 year old super star wants/needs his son with him on the road to get a little extra motivation/oomph, then by all means give it to him. Bronny will have time.
9 assist

Thinking about it further, I’m sure the main motivation behind keeping Bronny from G League road games is LeBron wanting to keep an eye on his son and having time to teach Bronny a little about road life as a high profile person. Bronny himself would likely love to play more and travel with the team, but LeBron knows his son is going to be a target for every instagram wannabe model out there and he wants to make sure his son is more mature before setting him loose.

It's a $6.4 bil basketball organization, not the James family training farm. Jr can learn at home from his parents.
You honestly believe Jr wants to "play more and travel with the (G League) team?" Instead of traveling first class with the Lakers, being recognized, and getting top notch service? Ok, that's a good one 😆 🤣 😂 😆
Clearly, Jr has proven to you by his hidden skill set, that he's got an insane drive.
More likely, he doesn't want to travel where he won't play a lot, and he'll get abused by better players, and he's expressed that to his protective dad. That's the reality that I think is "likely."
Seriously, how many players on the South bay roster are better than bronny? I counted at least 9.
1.Olivari
2. Traore
3. Lewis
4. JHS
5. Koloko
6. Fudge
7. Goodwin
8. Gordon
9. Veal
And those are just from guy's I have saw play. _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.' Whatever, pow, three. I love the Zen, though."

Bronny's not ever going to be a good enough player for that to matter and if he continues not progressing he'll be retiring right when LeBron does. So don't buy that. If he isn't going to take his NBA career seriously then he shouldn't have been drafted. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Max Christie: 2 year contract.
Austin Reaves (undrafted): 2 year contract
THT: 2 year contract
Bronny James: 4 years
Somehow, we finally do the right thing with giving a 2nd rounder a cheep 4 year contract, but we do it for Bronny of all players. _________________ Knecht 4 Starter

Disappointed to see Olivari with 9 turnovers. He's still a huge difference maker but he's not going to crack the NBA squad with many derps. Clean it up Quincy. You're hurting my dreams that we could have a solid NBA roster.
Traore showed a lot of versatility. He didn't do much with his recent brief NBA stint but I like how mobile he is, capable of extending his game out to the perimeter and get rebounds down low. I'm hoping he gets more shots at NBA floor time.
