What a steal. We got lottery talent at pick 17 and first round talent at pick 55. A+ draft  |

All things considered, it’s such a gamble of a pick and this is a really cool story. I hope this motivates Bronny to prove everyone wrong. |

Lebron be like ‘ get it done. ‘I thought Bronny combine metrics warrants a look but Lebron pulled a that string. Hopefully it will work out for us. It will be interesting until the hype fades. |

It’s just a 55 pick, relax. |
it's not the position of the pick, it has everything to do how this ownership has operated. nepotism runs this franchise. every aging stars in the league will flood to Lakers for a golden parachute retirement tours and have their families taken care of by the stupid ownership, while other teams are contending for titles. |
It is a smart business decision. Lebron has earned that, we waste a 2nd round pick for his son, sure, but I have no issues with that. |

Bronny and LeBron are officially the NBAs all time highest scoring father-son duo with over 40,000 points |

He did have a heart attack to start his college career. I think we see a way better player.
I can't imagine how scary that was and then how it must have felt to start playing again with that in his head. _________________ Previously Knecht4 and CamReddish |

Just FYI. Nobody we ever drafted this late has ever been good. I don't think we have ever even had a pick in the 50's that was a good player. Yes we sometimes get steals in the draft but they tend to be earlier in the 2nd round.
I am not saying you should like this pick. Obviously it's valid to not like it. And valid to not like that he is taking a roster spot. However the actual pick meant nothing to the Lakers. |

All Bron's trade requests / free agency demands / use of picks for trades are now moot. We should low ball him, lol. |

Maybe he will hit a late growth spurt. Honestly I’m surprised Bronny himself wants the flack that comes with doing nothing to earn a spot |

My money is on him getting a roster spot. And LeBron getting a 3 year max deal. They don’t call him the King for nothing. |

Yeah, this pick isn't THAT bad.. People are getting absolutely ridiculous in here and threatening not to care about there life long favorite team for Years because they used there late 2nd round pick on Bronny
I'm not the biggest fan of it but it's a really cool story in all honesty and Bronny at least has some potential even if the best case scenario is still a few Years away. If they had a low 2nd round pick or used there 1st on him then i'd understand the frustration much more.
Bronny is now going to either collapse under the nonstop pressure he will get or embrace it and possibly become a decent player after a few Years. I have to admit this makes Summer League and the Pre-Season that much more interesting to watch as well. |

Just wait for all the stories:
