99% chance he withdraws from the draft after the combine.

I know we hate on LeBron because everything he does is so forced and calculated, but in this case I say let the guy have his moment with his son.


The difference is both Griffey's were very talented and both big league talents. Kid Griffey was HOF level. His pops was only average to a little above average, but still a solid major leaguer. Bronny is NOT NBA caliber. If he steps on the floor with top 7-8 rotation players he's going to look bad.


If that’s the case then you are correct. If his son truly doesn’t belong on an NBA court then you are right and this whole thing is a farce.

They’re just trying to stop a team from drafting him before the Lakers get a chance to pick him. Lebron wants to stay with the lakers AND play with his son. This is the best way they can make that happen


Not seeing this. Any team picking Bronny for non-basketball reasons would burn itself with Rich Paul. That would be a dumb move.

Sure, but it is more fun to imagine his son is so bad that not even his father wants to play with him.

So many second rounders never play in nba - why not if it gives you a chance at Lebron ?

Lebron still giving you 25, 6, 6 lol

1) Information team execs and agents would like to have published by the media
2) Rumors they give him in exchange for the former

Which begs the question, why does Rich Paul want us to know this?

I can guarantee if there's a team he'd like to see draft Bronny and/or acquire LeBron, he's going to find a way to communicate that directly to that team.

Yeah - I don't understand how Woj is a thing.

He is a media release outlet for teams wanting to unofficially release officially information. I'm not sure why the teams do it - if Woj posts it everyone knows he is just sending out a team or NBA endorsed media release.

surely a bot can just do this - how does he get paid for it?

Because it will burn you with Rich Paul. That's a terrible move to try to force Lebron to your team by drafting his kid.

Sorry son, this headline is no longer keeping me in the forefront of the news. Good luck.

LeFlop would need d1 college eligibility because his kid is a role player on a bad USC team. Tell him to get his degree and enjoy college, he can invest his dads money.
