Pick Bronny and keep LeBron and run it back or draft/trade that pick and let him leave because of your imaginary savior from this 2024 draft/trade for that pick is ridiculous
Lebron coming back shouldn't be conditional on whether they draft Bronny.
Lakers could have had Jamie Jaquez Junior, Brandin Podziemski or Cam Whitmore in last year's draft but went for Pelinka's sentimental 'pick'
If the Lakers want to make a trade for a big name this off season, your 2024 pick has to be part of any trade deal, given your not exactly got an abundance of assets to barter with anyway
What are you talking about?
They have Reaves a great player with a friendly contract
DLo can Sign and Trade and get traded to the Nets for pieces or combined with Reaves for Durant.
I'm sorry Lakers haters but LeBron is staying and playing with his son and trading those players I mentioned for a true 3rd star for a final 2 yr run
P.S Pelinka and Ham are getting fired
I would be surprised if the Suns moved on Durant, especially given how much they gave up to trade for him

Suns have up nothing besides a over valued CP3
They can easily get him next season if they want

Go to OKC have a secondary young borderline superstar youth, draft picks to build on a young contender and play for an extension sign max star with a little roster manuevering

Bronny at 17 would be a crazy pick, given he is shite and has health concerns

Hes just using his leverage to make sure LAL FO is going all in next year (and also maybe draft Bronny with a 2nd rounder) before he resigns with them.

All time greats don't leave the Lakers. His other options are Miami and NY and none of those make sense, especially since Miami still won't let him run the organization.

If Boston loses in the 2nd round, I can see them recruiting LeBron to get them over the edge into the Finals

This is how Lebron always plays it. He leaves an air of mystery to either put pressure on the front office to make moves he wants especially during a contract year or else he'll threaten to leave and he also does it to keep his name in the news cycle. Nothing new here.

Lakers will most likely get another star to join them.
They a DMitch trade away from being a legit threat to win a championship.
It has to be that caliber player though. Role players are no longer an option.

You’re right. Lebron needs two allstars to win anything now to avoid getting swept by Nuggets, OKC, or Wolves. NBA will make it happen somehow.

LeBron starts his own franchise in Las Vegas next season and drafts Bronny.

Yeah it's pretty obvious that will be the outcome.
I'm expecting either Trae Young or DMitch to be a Lakers this off-season.

The Lakers can offer a him 3-yr $164M max deal.

It was nice having them both in one spot to route against. Will be fun to laugh at AD getting mid lotto records for next decade.

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.
