If one of the terms of LeBron returning is drafting his son Bronny James, the Lakers are open to it reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Soooo.... Bronny in 1st round?

If they get Bronny, it’s the steal of the draft. I have him #1 on by big board in terms of pure talent

Bronny should have to try out for the G league before even being invited to the draft

36% FG%! That's rare basketball talent!

He grew up with basketball courts in his mansions. How does he shoot so bad?

I love the idea of Bronny but its a shame he comes with a bunch of coach killing deadweight

The question really has to be: Why?

I would draft Bronny and make the Lakers trade me 2 future 1sts for him.

If the rules allowed it, he'd be player/coach.

The Lakers used to be such an enviable organization. What a sham they've become.

Using a draft pick would suck but you gotta do what you gotta do, Lakers need Lebron more than Lebron needs them.

An organization bending over backwards for a current top 10 player and one whom many consider the possible GOAT is them becoming a sham?

do they really tho? the lakers will always be a destination, they don’t need to hitch their wagon to a clearly diminished lebron who can no longer be the best player on a championship team

Lebron is nothing but profit for the LA Lakers ownership so it makes sense. Even if majority of the people that work at the arena don't like him and if the Lakers aren't serious about winning. They're going to profit as much as they can from him like any team would.

Are people really going to freak out about the Lakers using the 55th pick on Bronny? Well stupid question. Answer is yes.

People will criticize them for using a 1st on Bronny. 2nd round no.
